WARRANTY
All Kuduwave audiometers are supported by a 3-year repair-or-replace warranty. The parts and accessories have a 1-year warranty.
Kuduwave audiometers are manufactured under an ISO 13485 certificate, are FDA-registered, and are compliant with all IEC, ANSI and SANS standards for audiometry, tympanometry, and calibration.
AUTOMATIC SIMULTANEOUS BILATERAL TYMPANOMETRY
Dual tympanometers make automatic bilateral tympanometry a reality – offering users significant time-saving benefits. Automatic bilateral tympanometry also enhances patient care in sensitive young patients. By testing both ears simultaneously, pain-related difficulties are minimised.
CONVENIENT EUSTACHIAN TUBE FUNCTION TESTING
Evaluate eustachian tube function testing in patients with intact or perforated tympanic membranes, in a simple, intuitive manner. Multiple tympanograms can be displayed for each ear, with the functionality to switch between results, or delete results as required.
DIAGNOSTIC REFLEX MEASUREMENTS
Speakers (probe tones) and microphones in both ear cups, enable, through dual pneumatic systems, ipsilateral and contralateral acoustic reflex testing. This functionality allows for testing to be carried out without swapping the probe or activator-stimuli tips – saving valuable clinical time, while still yielding all pertinent clinical information. Additionally, the Kuduwave Pro-TMP offers users the ability to store the reflex measurement history for each frequency tested.
KUDUWAVE AUDIOMETER BENEFITS
BOOTH-FREE AUDIOMETRY
Kuduwave audiometers are the only pure-tone audiometers validated for true, booth-free audiometric testing. GeoAxon’s unique, portable audiometry technology outperforms standard, single-wall sound booths – making Kuduwave a real-world alternative to traditional audiometric screening.
AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL OPERATION
Kuduwave audiometers offer the convenience of both manual and automatic audiometry options – enabling users to set their own automated screening protocols. This allows for reliable, repeatable results that are customised to individual preferences.
HIGHLY ACCURATETELE-AUDIOLOGY ENABLED
Coupled with integrated patient management and cloud storage facilities, Kuduwave audiometers’ tele-audiology capabilities enable state-of-the art services – empowering you to conduct more hearing tests, and reach more people (even remotely), than ever before.
INTUITIVE AUDIOMETRY SOFTWARE
All Kuduwave audiometers are supported by our complimentary, integrated MedAxon software. MedAxon is a free, full-featured Windows-based audiometry software suite designed to support clinicians, occupational health therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
INTEGRATED PATIENT MANAGEMENT
Our user-friendly MedAxon software enables testing, and data management and storage of unlimited patient records – from a single interface. It's ideal for occupational health primary care and mass hearing loss screening programmes (such as school hearing screening).
SECURE IN THE CLOUD
Enjoy the convenience of rapid reporting, data retrieval, synchronisation, and secure backups of unlimited patient audiograms and test records. Eliminate paperwork and duplications. Encrypted cloud storage means medical records remain private (not even GeoAxon can see your data).
OUR QUALITY PROMISE
GeoAxon’s Kuduwave audiometers are supported by a 3-year repair-or-replace warranty, with the option of an extended warranty for a further 2 years. All other GeoAxon products are supported by a 1-year warranty
Kuduwave audiometers are manufactured under an ISO 13485 certified and is FDA-registered, and are compliant with all IEC, ANSI and SANS standards for audiometry, tympanometry, and calibration.

What does truly booth-free audiometry mean?
The Kuduwave Pro and Kuduwave Pro-TMP are the only truly booth-free diagnostic audiometers available in the world.
As GeoAxon, we can confidently make this claim, as the Kuduwave Pro and Kuduwave Pro-TMP’s clinical validation, as per MEDDEV (Medical Devices) guidance and ISO 14155 certification, confirms that both these devices can conduct screening and diagnostic pure-tone and speech audiometry, as well as acoustic immittance measurements, outside of a sound-treated booth.
THESE UNIQUE TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED IN MULTIPLE, PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL PUBLICATIONS.
Our audiometric devices are, at present, the only comprehensive, diagnostic, all-in-one audiometers with the capability to provide both trusted screening and diagnostic audiometry outside of a sound booth, because of their increased passive attenuation capabilities.
The Kuduwave Pro-TMP with built-in tympanometry is the first and only acoustic immittance measurement device that can conduct bilateral simultaneous tympanometry and ipsi- and contralateral acoustic reflex measurements, without swapping the probe to the opposite ear.
This is our proud statement, because there is currently no other diagnostic audiometer, on the global market, capable of measuring ambient noise and blocking sound as efficiently as the Kuduwave Pro and Kuduwave Pro-TMP.
Competitors might play around with configurations and adding sound level meters, but even this is rare. The Kuduwave Pro and Kuduwave Pro-TMP have all of this technology built-in.
These features make the Kuduwave Pro and Kuduwave Pro-TMP truly unique audiological instruments.

TESTIMONIAL
“GeoAxon has created one of the greatest inventions in audiology. The Kuduwave is undisputably simple, accurate, consistent, and valid, when compared to other forms of manual and automated audiometers. The Kuduwave has saved my clinic a huge sum of dollars that would have gone to soundproofing the audiometry room. I thank you, GeoAxon.”
