The traditional otoscope hasn't meaningfully changed in over a century. It shows you a dim, static view — and generates zero revenue. The Tympa System is what ear care looks like in 2026: HD video, integrated hearing assessment, in-office wax removal, and automated CPT® billing. All-in-one.
Traditional Otoscope
Static view. Single-use speculum. No documentation. No hearing capability. No revenue. No wax removal.
The Tympa System
4K HD video. Hearing assessment. Cerumen removal. EMR integration. CPT® billing. Patient-facing display. Revenue at every visit.
The difference isn't just incremental — it's a complete rethinking of what ear care at the point of care should be.

The Tympa System replaces multiple single-purpose tools with one integrated clinical platform — eliminating equipment clutter and generating revenue on every use.
Crystal-clear, magnified video of the ear canal — shareable with patients on screen, documented in the EMR, and comparable visit-to-visit. See what your traditional scope was missing.
A full audiometric screen from 500 Hz to 8 kHz — performed in under 5 minutes, without a sound booth. Identify hearing loss early enough to intervene meaningfully.
Safe, gold-standard cerumen removal under direct visualization — billed as CPT® 69210. No irrigation, no risk of perforations, no specialist referral needed.
The system auto-suggests CPT® codes based on the procedure performed, auto-generates visit notes, and pushes records directly to your EMR. Billing takes seconds, not minutes.
Every ear patient you see is an opportunity. The Tympa System helps you capture what your current tools leave on the table.
| Metric | Traditional Otoscope | Tympa System |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue per ear encounter | $0 – minimal | $150 – $300+ |
| Cerumen removal revenue | $0 | $85 – $140 (CPT® 69210) |
| Annual revenue (15 patients/week) | $0 | $100K – $200K+ |
The Tympa System enables you to bill multiple CPT® codes per visit — stacking revenue in a way no traditional otoscope can match.

"I genuinely didn't appreciate how limited my traditional otoscope was until I used the Tympa System. The image quality alone is transformative — but it's the billing capability that changed my practice economics."
"The old scope gave me a dim, flat view. Tympa gives me 4K video I can show the patient on screen. The difference in clinical confidence — and patient trust — is remarkable."
"We were sending 20+ ear cases per month to ENT. Now we handle the majority in-house. The ROI paid for the device in 3 months — and we've barely scratched the surface of the hearing screening revenue."
TympaHealth gives you a platform that matches the modern expectations of patients, payers, and clinical practice.
