Possible Examinations

Ear Examination:

  • An otoscope is used to examine and illuminate the ear drum. In some cases, a microscope may be used for magnification, particularly when viewing the ear canal or ear drum.
  • Suction may be used for the safe removal of wax or debris from the ear canal.

Hearing Tests:

  • An audiogram will be performed to test your hearing, this involves going into a sound proof booth and listening to various sounds through headphones and pressing a button. This may aid your Doctor in making a clearer diagnosis. If you have small children you may need somebody with you to look after them while you have the test

Nose Examination:

  • To examine the front of the nasal passages, a speculum and headlight are used. For a more detailed look deeper into the nasal cavity, a nasendoscope (flexible camera) may be used, with local anaesthetic to ensure comfort.

Throat Examination:

  • An external throat examination involves feeling the glands in your neck. To inspect your mouth, a tongue depressor and headlight are used to view the back of the throat, including the tonsils. A nasendoscope may also be used for a more thorough examination.

Further Investigations

If necessary, further tests such as scans, X-rays, blood tests, or the fitting of hearing aids may be recommended. We can arrange these for you, and they may involve attending another appointment at a different location.
