​
Balance disorders

​
Hearing disorders
Hearing loss affects people of all ages and can be caused by many different factors. The three basic categories of hearing loss are sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss and mixed hearing loss.
​
Perforated Eardrum
Eardrum repair is a surgical procedure used to fix a hole or tear in the eardrum (tympanic membrane).
​
Glue ear
Glue ear or also know as ('otitis media with effusion') is a condition where fluid builds up inside your middle ear and becomes thick and sticky. It is common in young children and often occurs after a cold or an ear infection.
​
Grommets
A Grommet is a tiny tube inserted into the eardrum to allow air to enter the middle ear. Grommets can treat glue ear and recurrent middle ear infections.
​
Tinnitus

​
Blocked ears and Wax removal
Ear toileting is a minor 'cleaning' procedure that may be performed during a consultation using a microscope and headlight to remove blockages of the ear such as wax buildup.
​
Tumors
Most ear tumors, like acoustic neuromas. aren't cancerous. But even benign ear tumors can cause hearing loss and need treatment.
​
Injections
Intratympanic steroid injections are used to treat cochleovestibular symptoms of inner ear disease, such as Meniere's disease or idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
