Ear Treatments

What is Ear Treatment?

Ear treatment at The LivingCare Group involves comprehensive care for a range of ear conditions, helping to alleviate symptoms, manage hearing issues, and prevent infections. Our expert team, including consultants, nurses, and audiologists, provides specialised treatments for patients over the age of 5, ensuring high-quality, individualised care.

Conditions Treated with Ear Treatment

LivingCare’s ear treatment covers multiple conditions, including:

  • Glue ear, a common issue causing fluid build-up behind the eardrum
  • Earache, which can result from infection or other causes
  • Ear infections, such as otitis externa and otitis media
  • Wax removal for improved ear health and hearing
  • Hearing difficulties, including deafness and tinnitus management
  • Balance disorders, including vertigo, to help with stability and reduce dizziness
  • Foreign body removal to safely extract any objects lodged in the ear canal

How Ear Treatment Works

Our consultants use advanced equipment like otoscopes and microscopes to closely examine the ear canal and eardrum. In some cases, gentle suction is used to remove wax or debris safely. For patients with hearing concerns, an audiogram is conducted in a soundproof booth, allowing the consultant to assess hearing ability by testing responses to various sounds. This evaluation aids in creating a tailored treatment plan.

What to Expect During Your Ear Treatment

  • Before the Appointment: No special preparation is required, though we may request details of your current medications.
  • During the Appointment: Depending on the condition, the consultant may use suction or other tools to address ear issues. If undergoing a hearing test, you’ll sit in a soundproof booth and press a button in response to sounds.
  • After the Appointment: You may experience temporary discomfort if wax removal or cleaning was performed, but this should ease shortly after.

Risks and Complications of Ear Treatment

Ear treatment risks are minimal but may include:

  • Temporary discomfort following wax removal or ear examination
  • Slight risk of infection if there’s an open wound from an ear condition

How to Recover Following Ear Treatment

You can resume normal activities immediately after most ear treatments. If you feel slight discomfort, over-the-counter pain relief may help. For balance issues, avoid activities requiring intense focus, like driving, for a few hours.

Payment Options

Medical Insurance

If you are paying for your procedure or treatment with medical insurance, you will need to liaise closely with the insurance provider throughout the process.

​​Before attending your first appointment, you should contact your insurance company to check that that your condition is covered for all stages of treatments.​

You will need to visit your GP and ask them to refer you to The LivingCare Group at Thorpe Park Clinic for a private procedure. Your GP will write a letter of referral and then either you or your GP can contact us to arrange your first appointment.

Self Pay

We understand that immediate access to healthcare is sometimes essential. With our self-pay service, there are no waiting lists. Within 24 hours, you will be offered a consultation date to see a medical professional that is convenient for you. Our expert team can then give you an assessment and treatment within 1 week of your consultation.

Your consultation and any tests, scans or investigations will be charged separately, however all of these costs will be quoted to you before anything commences and you are under no obligation to continue your treatment with us unless you are happy to do so.
