Ear Health Check — Gateshead & Newcastle
A thorough look inside your ears with our camera system — watch on screen as we go, and get honest, professional advice. Just £20 and about 15 minutes.
What happens at your check
Your ear health check is a full, careful look at how your ears are doing — explained in plain English as we go, with no pressure to buy anything.
You'll see inside your own ear on screen, get honest advice on anything that needs attention, and leave knowing your options. Here's exactly what to expect.
Your check, step by step
Otoscope examination
We start by examining both ears with an otoscope.
Tuning fork test
A quick tuning fork test gives an early indication of how you're hearing.
See inside on screen
You see inside your own ear on screen using our WAXscope video otoscope.
Wax? Your options
If there's any wax, we talk through your options — take some Earol from reception to soften it, and book in for wax removal if you'd like.
Pressure test
If your ears are clear, we carry out a pressure test (tympanometry) to check how well your eardrum is working.

When to book a check
It's worth having your ears checked if you notice any of these:
- Blocked, muffled or reduced hearing
- Earache, itchiness or a feeling of fullness
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Before flying or diving, if you're prone to wax
- You simply want peace of mind
