“Where excellence is not a euphemism for profit”
Ear Clinic was funded as part of a charitable partnership and opened its doors to the public in 2018, as medical centres withdrew their earwax removal services. Ear Clinic aims to add capacity for local people to obtain an appointment for earwax removal and, in doing so, improve the value of private appointments for patients.
Improved value for local people at Ear Clinic Lymington is defined as:
1. No charge is made for Otoscopy (Visual check of the ear). For patients who are not sure if a chargeable appointment is necessary.
2. Investment in the highest standards of clinic environment with modern ENT specific equipment.
3. Professionally registered staff with extended practice training.
4. Low-profit service model with a single charge of £49. We do not make "per ear" charges.
5. Longer appointment times (30 minutes).
6. Price concessions for specific groups. Select a link in the Learn More section below.
7. Out of hours appointments for 9 – 5 workers. Out of hours appointments are charged in advance and not refundable.
8. Service recall reminders provided electronically via text and email at no charge.
Service Appointment Time Price
Otoscopy (visual check of the ear) 5 minutes No charge. Book if you are not sure if you require a chargeable appointment.
Endoscopy (image results on USB) 15 minutes £25
Removal of excessive earwax (adult) 30 minutes £49
Paediatric / Under 18s Please read below
Paediatric and young people under 18 years of age cannot attend Ear Clinic appointments for earwax/aural care. An appointment can be arranged to see an ENT Consultant privately. The appointments are not carried out in Lymington and parents should request us to refer their child for this service.
Should a patient book and attend Ear Clinic to find they do not require treatment for excessive earwax, they will still be charged. To avoid this, patients who are not sure if they require earwax removal, should book a non-chargeable otoscopy appointment with us in the first instance. We will confirm if a chargeable earwax removal appointment is required and arrange the service booking.
Description
Removal of excessive earwax typically requires microsuction. The adult price of £49 is based on an appointment time of 30 minutes, whether one or both ears are treated. We allow plenty of time to provide a first-class service and outcome for patients, however, where the removal of excessive earwax is problematic, more than one appointment may be required.
Patients attending Ear Clinic for this appointment will be shown live images of their ear(s) and have the opportunity to discuss their treatment and view further images taken following treatment. This ensures all patients have the following outcomes:
Ear Clinic is committed to improving outcomes for patients by ensuring they understand that looking after their ears and, therefore maintaining a good standard of hearing, is essential.
Patients have the option to agree a routine appointment recall reminder. Recalls are provided by email and text without charge.
