Earhealth check

Professional earhealth check in Weston-super-Mare

An earhealth check at Ears2hear is a thorough, gentle assessment designed to give you total peace of mind regarding your ears and hearing comfort.

Our qualified audiology carries out otoscopy to examine the outer ear canal, skin condition, and eardrum membrane.

Whether you have noticed subtle hearing changes, feelings of pressure, or simply want routine preventative screening, an earhealth check helps identify issues early before they develop into painful or disruptive problems.

What we examine during your earhealth assessment

A full ear check-up goes far beyond just spotting wax. During your appointment in Weston-super-Mare, we look closely at every visible structure of your auditory system to ensure healthy function.

Ear canal health and skin condition

We inspect the delicate canal lining for signs of inflammation, eczema, dry skin, irritation, or narrowings that could cause recurring discomfort.

Earwax accumulation and blockages

We assess the depth and density of any earwax build-up, confirming whether professional microsuction or irrigation is required to restore clear hearing.

Tympanic membrane integrity

We evaluate your eardrum for perforations, scar tissue from past childhood infections, retraction, or abnormal vascularisation.

Foreign objects or debris

From cotton bud fibres to lost earplug fragments, we safely inspect and document any foreign material requiring gentle removal.

Signs of healthy ears during a check

  • Clear, healthy canal skin free from redness or swelling

  • A translucent, pearly-grey eardrum reflecting light naturally

  • Healthy, minimal wax production that does not obstruct sound

  • No indication of perforation, fluid lines, or trapped debris

Common concerns detected during an ear check

Our thorough inspection helps pinpoint the exact cause behind your symptoms:

  • Impacted or hardened earwax pressing against the eardrum

  • Outer ear infections (otitis externa) and localised inflammation

  • Fluid accumulation or negative pressure behind the tympanic membrane

  • Perforations or visible scarring from previous trauma or infections

  • Irritation caused by cotton bud misuse or poorly fitting hearing moulds
