Ear wax removal, hearing tests, tinnitus therapy and ear wax microsuction in Falmouth
Falmouth based Qualified Audiologist
Welcome to Falmouth Ear Clinic, a private audiology practice in the south of Cornwall offering a range of services, including private hearing tests, microsuction ear wax removal and tinnitus therapy.
We offer relaxed and unhurried appointments at our comfortable premises in Falmouth, with easy access and free parking directly outside, or in the comfort of your own home, in the Falmouth area.
Time is taken to fully discuss your areas of concern, prior to examination of the ears using a high-definition camera. Any ear wax can then be removed, using safe and hygienic microsuction, allowing a thorough examination of your ear canal and ear drum.
Ear wax has many benefits, but can easily build up, causing discomfort and hearing loss. Hearing aid users can be particularly prone to wax issues and benefit from regular removal.
If wax is not the issue, or problems persist, we can measure the mechanisms of your middle ear using tympanometry, and provide hearing tests, to confirm the status of your hearing.
If required, we can then provide a comprehensive onward referral to your GP.
Your health is our utmost priority
Microsuction
Microsuction is a non-contact, safe and hygienic method of wax removal. The whole process is performed using top surgical loupes, under high magnification, resulting in the full, clear visualisation of the inside of the ear at every step.
Unlike syringing, there is no pressurised water being forced into the ear which, given the delicate structures involved and with the ear drum not in view, is not a risk-free procedure.
