The Otometrics Astera 2 is a state-of-the-art, PC-based, two-channel clinical audiometer designed for precision, flexibility, and efficiency.  It offers three intuitive control options: the Audiometer Control Panel (ACP, included), standard PC-mouse/keyboard, or direct touch operation via the Sunshine control panel feature.

The customizable Masking Assistant feature supports user-defined interaural attenuation values by transducer or personalized masking protocols. Comprehensive suite of built-in tests includes QuickSIN and integrated tinnitus questionnaires (THI, THS, TFI), supporting a wide range of diagnostic needs. Unique to its class, the Otometrics Astera 2 provides five speaker outputs, enabling advanced protocols such as sound localization and cochlear implant speech-in-noise testing, with flexibile signal routing to match your clinical workflow.

This configuration offers standard and advanced audiometric capabilities and comes packaged with two calibrated transducers (inesrt earphones and TDH39 headphones) and includes the Audiometer Control Panel (ACP) for enhanced control, offering a tactile, audiometer-style interface ideal for pediatric assessments and for clinicians who prefer traditional operation.
