What it is used for

In seconds, Neuranix helps us understand how the eardrum and middle ear are functioning. We incorporate this information into the AudioClinique diagnostic pathway, alongside your consultation, ear examination and other hearing tests.

It may help identify

Middle ear fluid

It may indicate fluid behind the eardrum, a common issue in children that can make sounds seem muffled.

Otitis media

It helps identify middle ear function consistent with otitis media and indicates when medical review is appropriate.

A stiff or less mobile eardrum

It provides information about eardrum movement and whether it is stiffer or more retracted than normal.

Possible perforation

Following visual ear examination, it can provide additional information when a small eardrum injury is suspected, without creating pressure.

Checks before hearing aid fitting

It helps check for middle ear problems that need further assessment before selecting or adjusting hearing aids.

Monitoring over time

Results can be compared to see whether fluid, inflammation or another abnormality is improving.

How it fits into our diagnostic pathway

1 · We listen to youWe ask about symptoms, listening difficulties, ear sensitivity and any tinnitus.
2 · We assess the middle earNeuranix provides objective information about the eardrum and middle ear in around 2–3 seconds per ear.
3 · We complete the assessmentWe combine the result with other tests and recommend an ENT assessment if anything needs further investigation.
In plain language: Neuranix adds information to our diagnostic pathway. It does not replace an ENT consultation and cannot establish a diagnosis on its own.

Additional information with greater comfort

Neuranix med-wave® uses patented PLAI® (Pressure-Less Acoustic Immittance) technology to analyse the eardrum and middle ear without changing pressure inside the ear canal.

The test gives professionals additional objective information to incorporate into audiological and hearing aid assessments.

  • Painless, non-invasive procedure
  • Objective measurement, easy to perform
  • Less discomfort for people sensitive to pressure changes

Speed makes a difference

Fast testing reduces measurement time and makes the examination easier when remaining still for long periods is difficult.

Particularly helpful for children and sensitive patients

Children

The absence of pressure changes and the short test time help make assessment simpler and easier for children to tolerate.

Ear sensitivity and tinnitus

It may offer a more comfortable option for people especially sensitive to ear pressure or whose tinnitus readily worsens with unpleasant stimuli.

Important note. Neuranix assesses the middle ear; it is not a treatment for tinnitus. A professional always determines whether the test is appropriate for the individual.
