OTOSCOPY & MICROSUCTION
EAR WAX REMOVAL
Services
Microsuction
During a Tympa appointment your clinician will be able to assess your ears, and if wax is present, gently remove it with microsuction. Microsuction is the gold standard of wax removal and is considered safer than other methods such as irrigation.
Once wax has been removed, we recommend you arrange for a hearing screening to be performed. This will identify whether you have a level of hearing loss. If you do have a hearing loss , you may need a referral to an audiologist for further investigation.
Tympa Health System
The Tympa system is the world’s first all-in-one ear and hearing healthcare assessment device. It brings together different diagnostic and treatment systems into one hand-held portable system. The Tympa allows us to perform; high-definition digital otoscopy (to capture HD image and video) & micro-suction ear wax removal (the industry gold standard), all in a single 30-minute appointment. This is without our clients having to even leave their own home.
Referrals
All patient images and video are stored in our secure cloud, making it easy to keep track of your patients’ ear and hearing health record. This can be quickly and easily shared, via a professional PDF, with ENT surgeons, audiologists or GPs, should the patient need onward specialist treatment.
Our “Remote Review” feature allows access to remote advice and guidance from Audiologists and ENT specialist surgeons, if a second opinion is required.
