Conduct a full medical case history.
Examine your outer ear and ear canal with video imagery.
Examine and measure your middle ear readings.
Establish your hearing thresholds.

Ear Wax Removal by Vacuum (Microsuction)
If you’re experiencing blocked ears, discomfort, or reduced hearing, ear wax removal by vacuum, also known as microsuction, is widely regarded as one of the safest and most effective treatment available.
Unlike ear syringing or home remedies, microsuction uses a fine suction probe to gently remove wax from the ear canal while under direct visualisation.
At The Studio Goostrey, we use advanced equipment, including video otoscopy, to ensure maximum safety and comfort. Patients can view before-and-after images or videos to see the difference for themselves.
During your visit, we will:
Take a full medical case history.
Ask for consent to proceed.
Show visual imagery before and after the procedure.
Remove any blockage in a safe and professional manner.
Tinnitus and Treatment Plans
Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease.
It is a phenomena that occurs in the auditory system where a phantom noise is perceived .
This often manifests itself in various forms from ringing or buzzing noises to whooshing and hissing like sounds. Some hear humming or throbbing sounds, some even perceive music or tones.
At The Studio, we go further.
Tinnitus is not just the sound perceived by the patient, it can be troublesome and distracting for many, disturbing everyday activities and even affecting sleep. We are as interested in the nature of your tinnitus as we are in finding out the impact it is having on you!
During your assessment, we will:
Take a full medical case history.
Complete a Tinnitus Handicap Inventory.
Examine the outer ear and ear canal.
Examine and measure your middle ear readings.

Hearing Aid Reprogramming, Servicing & Repairs
Have you spent hundreds, or even thousands, on hearing aids but still struggle to hear clearly?
Most hearing aids are originally fitted using results from a basic audiogram (pure tones). While this provides a foundation, hearing pure tones is much easier for the brain than processing speech in real-world background noise.
This often leaves patients disappointed with the performance of their devices.
At The Studio Goostrey, we go further.
Our dedicated sound room is designed specifically for hearing aid reprogramming, where we test, verify, and fine-tune your devices so they work optimally, not just in quiet clinics, but in the real-life settings where hearing matters most.
During your appointment, we will:
Re-establish your hearing thresholds.
Measure your speech in noise ability.
Revisit your hearing lifestyle.
Reprogram your instrument (where appropriate).
Introduce Auditory Training and follow-up visit.
