The MADSEN ASTERA is a state-of-the-art clinical audiometer used to measure the sensitivity of hearing. It combines the best of traditional stand-alone audiometers and new PC-based systems, thereby creating a new standard in clinical audiometry.
The MADSEN ASTERA’s flexible design platform allows the audiologist to operate the audiometer in a manner that suits his or her individual comfort level, either through the familiar layout of the Audiometer Control Panel, the PC-based keyboard or a mouse. That’s what is so unique about the way the MADSEN ASTERA operates, and it pro-duces consistent results.
Søren Holst, President of GN Otometrics, says “The MADSEN ASTERA audiometer is a truly unique product, offering our customers flexible and intuitive features in a modern design. It has already generated an amazing response and I am confident that we are about to launch the new standard in clinical audiometry. “

GN Otometrics has applied substantial resources in order to supply hospitals, ENT clinics and private practices in North America with the world’s most advanced clinical audi-ometer. The development of the MADSEN Astera was a joint effort between research and development teams in the United States and in Denmark.
