You may undergo any of the following examinations:

​

Ear Examination:

An Otoscope is an instrument used to examine the ears and illuminate the ear drum. On occasions the 

ear drum and canal may need to be viewed under magnification for which a microscope is used. If it is necessary to remove wax or debris from the ear canal,suction may be used.

​

Hearing Tests – by the Audiologist:

Either before or after your consultation with the Doctor or Nurse you may have a hearing test. 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 look at the front of the nose a simple speculum together with illumination from a headlight is used to visualise the nasal passages. For further examination into the nose a Nasendoscope (flexible camera) will be used and local anaesthetic may be given to make the procedure more comfortable.

​

Throat Examination:

An external examination will involve feeling the neck glands. To see inside your mouth a tongue depressor and illumination from a headlight is used to see the back of your tongue and tonsil area. A Nasendoscope may be used as previously described.

​

Other investigations that may be required are scans, X-Rays, blood tests or the fitting of hearing aids. We can arrange this for you from our clinic and may involve you attending another appointment at a different location.
