FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TympaHealth System?
The TympaHealth System uses advanced digital technology to examine the ear canal and eardrum in high definition. This allows us to detect issues such as wax build-up, irritation, or infection with clarity and precision.
During your appointment, you will be able to see images and video of your ear, which will help you better understand your condition and any recommended treatment.
What does the assessment include?
Your ear and hearing health check is designed to be thorough and informative. It includes:
- Digital ear examination
- High-definition imaging of the ear canal and eardrum
- Safe ear wax removal if required
- Hearing screening check
- Personalised advice and follow-up recommendations
Wax removal is typically carried out using microsuction, a safe and effective method that avoids the need for irrigation.
How does the hearing check work?
As part of your appointment, we carry out a hearing screening to assess how well you hear different sounds and frequencies.
This helps to:
- Identify early signs of hearing weakness
- Monitor changes in hearing over time
- Guide further assessment or referral if needed
Early detection can make a significant difference in effectively managing hearing health.
Why is ear and hearing health important?
Your hearing plays a key role in communication, balance, and overall quality of life. Changes can occur gradually, making them easy to overlook without regular checks.
Routine assessments can help detect problems early, allowing for timely intervention and reducing the risk of more serious complications.
Why is this important for people with diabetes?
For patients managing Diabetes & Foot Health, regular ear and hearing checks can be particularly valuable.
Diabetes can affect small blood vessels and nerves throughout the body, including those involved in hearing and ear health. This may increase the risk of:
- Hearing weakness
- Ear infections
- Slower healing within the ear
Monitoring these changes helps support overall health and well-being.
What does treatment feel like?
The assessment is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive.
If wax removal is required, microsuction is typically used. This method is precise and well tolerated, with minimal discomfort for most patients.
You can return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment.
