Advanced Ear Examination in Neath

Our digital otoscopy service allows us to examine the internal structure of the ear in detail. We don’t just check for wax — we carefully assess the ear canal and eardrum for:

• Impacted earwax
• Ear drum perforations
• Retraction pockets
• Scarring
• Inflammation
• Signs of infection (otitis externa or otitis media)

We can record a video of your ear, which helps you understand what’s happening and allows referral to ENT specialists if required.

Where clinically appropriate, our prescribing pharmacist can provide treatment in-house, including antibiotic sprays or other medicines — saving you time and unnecessary GP appointments.

Common Ear Health Problems We See in Neath

Ear Infections

Otitis externa (outer ear infection) and otitis media (middle ear infection) can cause pain, swelling, itching, discharge and temporary hearing reduction.

Earwax Build-Up

Excess wax can lead to blocked ears, muffled hearing, dizziness and discomfort.

Tinnitus

A ringing or buzzing sound in the ears, which may be constant or intermittent.

Hearing Loss

Gradual or sudden changes in hearing should always be assessed promptly.

At our Neath ear clinic, we can examine the ear for common causes such as wax build-up or visible inflammation. If we identify any concerning signs — including sudden unexplained hearing loss — we will advise urgent GP or medical referral.
