External Ear Review

Person checking patient's hearing with an otoscope.

An external ear review provides a clear, professional assessment of the outer ear, including the pinna and external auditory canal.

This examination helps identify common issues such as earwax build-up, foreign bodies, or skin conditions, while ruling out more serious pathologies.

What Happens During an External Ear Review?

Your appointment begins with an extended medical case history to understand your symptoms, lifestyle factors, and any previous ear health issues.

We then carry out a video otoscopy, a gentle, camera-assisted inspection of the outer ear and ear canal.

This approach allows both the clinician and patient to view a live image of the ear canal, providing reassurance and clarity about any findings.
