Possible Examinations

You may want to see LivingCare's ENT service because you suffer any of the following conditions:

Ear: Glue Ear, Wax removal, Earache, Aural discharge, Infections, Otitis externa and media, Deafness, Tinnitus and Balance problems including vertigo.

Nose: Epistaxis, Nasal obstruction, Nasal polyps, Rhinitis and rhinosinusitis, Sinusitis, Snoring, Allergy Testing ​

Throat: Recurrent tonsillitis, Hoarseness, Sore throat, Lump in throat/globus, Snoring

You may undergo some 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.
