Our Ear Examination Services
What is an ear examination?
An ear examination is a professional inspection of your outer ear, ear canal, and eardrum. We use advanced, magnified imaging technology to get a clear and detailed view inside your ear, helping us assess its health and identify any issues.
Why do I need an ear examination?
An examination is crucial for accurately diagnosing the cause of ear discomfort, muffled hearing, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or any other ear-related symptoms. It helps us identify earwax blockages, infections, eardrum health issues, or other abnormalities that might be affecting your hearing or comfort.
Is the ear examination painful or uncomfortable?
No, the ear examination is typically very comfortable and non-invasive. Our Audiologist Marie performs the procedure gently, using a small, illuminated camera that is carefully inserted into the ear canal without causing discomfort.
How long does an ear examination take?
A professional ear examination usually takes approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the complexity and if any specific issues are being investigated. We allocate ample time to ensure a thorough assessment and to discuss our findings with you.
Understanding Your Ear Health with Precision
Led by HCPC registered Audiologist Marie, we utilise advanced technology to offer a clear and precise view inside your ears, ensuring you receive the most informed and effective care.
An ear examination is a non-invasive procedure where our Audiologist carefully inspects the external ear, ear canal, and eardrum. Unlike a quick glance, our examinations use specialised equipment to provide a magnified, high-definition view.
