1. Before the Visit
Our audiologists will confirm the appointment and any special requirements. We will ensure that you have a quiet and comfortable space ready for the assessment.
2. Earwax Removal Assessment
Our experienced audiologists will examine the inside of your ear to see whether there is an earwax blockage. If there is, they will determine the most appropriate removal method for your personal needs. The options include:
- Water Irrigation: We gently flush wax out of your ears using a controlled stream of body-temperature water.
- Microsuction: This modern, minimally invasive procedure uses a narrow suction pipe to delicately remove wax from your ear canal.
- Endoscopic Microsuction: Utilising an endoscopic camera, this refined form of microsuction provides a high-definition view of the ear canal, allowing for a before-and-after comparison.
- Manual Removal: When other methods aren’t suitable, we use a special tool called a Jobson Horne to gently and carefully extract the earwax by hand.
Rest assured all the methods we use are painless and gentle, ensuring you remain comfortable during the procedure.
3. Conducting the Hearing Test
- Initial Questions: Your audiologist will ask about your hearing healthcare history.
- Ear Examination: A painless check of your ear canal will be conducted to look for any infection or damage.
- Hearing Test: You’ll wear headphones and press a button when you hear a sound.
- Results Discussion: If a hearing loss is detected, your audiologist will explain the results to you in detail.
- Cause Analysis: The cause of your hearing loss will be identified and discussed.
- Solutions Overview: Based on your results, ear shape, lifestyle, and budget, your audiologist will go through all available solutions with you.
