Just like your eyes, your ears are incredibly important to your everyday life. If you think your ability to hear well has deteriorated over the past few years then our ear & hearing health check is the best way to find out!

Nottingham Ear Clinic recommends an annual ear and hearing check for anyone over 50 and every two years for anyone over 40.

The doctor will ask you about your medical history, as well as your lifestyle and occupation. You will be asked about any hearing difficulties you may be experiencing, if you have worn hearing aids before and in what specific situations you would like to hear better.

An instrument called a Digital Video Otoscope is used to look inside your ears, checking for any blockages or abnormalities of the ear drum and the ear canal. Photos and video images of both ears are taken which can be sent to your GP, on request. This can be useful for comparisons in the future. If we find anything unusual in your ears then our doctors will be able to advise the best course of treatment (additional fees may apply)

We’ll give you a short hearing screen to check how well you can hear. It is a quick and simple check that will tell you whether or not you would benefit from a more thorough Hearing Assessment. During the screening we will play you a series of sounds at various volumes and pitches to gauge your hearing levels.

It is extremely important that you fully understand the results of your hearing screen. Therefore, we ensure that we take the necessary time to explain the results at the end of the appointment.

Should any treatment be required during your consultation, then this will be advised accordingly by the doctor. The ear & hearing health check fee will be deducted from any treatment.
