Expert Ear Wax Removal
Ear Wax can be an innocuous problem that simply causes a sensation of blockage in the ear, but it can also cause debilitating symptoms such as hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, pain, discharge, infection, and cough (Schwartz et al., 2017). These are significant symptoms that can adversely affect a patient’s health outcomes, safety, and quality of life.
In the UK, it is estimated that 2.3 million people annually have problems with Ear Wax, but because many people do not undergo routine ear examinations, the figure is likely to be much higher. In addition, pre-Covid, many had to wait 12 to 16 weeks to get treatment. These figures are staggering and due to the lack of treatment availability with the NHS, many people struggle to find help with this condition.
At our Leominster and Martley clinics, Tympa Health provides a faster, easier route to ear and hearing healthcare. Our Ear Clinician can perform a digital otoscopy, microsuction wax removal using a suction unit, and a hearing check, all in a single appointment.
Another key feature of the Tympa System is the unique ‘Remote Review‘ feature, which allows our clinicians to send images and videos to ENT specialists and Audiologists, if a second opinion is required. All this is backed up by a fully digital secure system for keeping patient records, which can be quickly and easily shared, via a professional PDF, with ENT surgeons, audiologists, or GPs, should the patient need onward specialist treatment.
This not only makes ear and hearing health services more accessible for patients, but it also reduces the number of GP and hospital appointments required by patients, thus lessening the strain on the NHS. Many patients feel relief once wax has been removed. Once the ear is clear from wax or debris, clinicians can undertake a hearing check. Patients can then be referred onto specialists, should a hearing loss be present.
Experience the transformative impact of our advanced Tympa System, restoring your hearing and enhancing your overall well-being. Let us be your trusted partner on the journey to better ear health.
