As the population is increasing rapidly, ear healthcare requirements are also growing
steadily due to the negative impact of overuse of headphones, exposure to loud frequencies,
and even the usage of cotton earbuds for clearing the ear.
The current ear and healthcare route might be inconsistent and in-navigatable for patients.
They rotate between appointments one after another over several weeks. Before covid, the
waiting span was almost 12-16 weeks; but now this has increased significantly.
Furthermore, most GPs have stopped providing ear wax removal as a service that affects
health and access considerably. According to the “NHS Long Term Plan,” offering an ear and
hearing healthcare services in communities makes treatment more accessible to everyone
and lessens the outpatient load upon the secondary settings.
Hearing loss impacts a young person’s academic and social life. It results in dementia, social
isolation and an increased risk of falling among older people.

Importance of hearing health

Hearing health is essential for every person to live a quality life. The decline in hearing may
isolate a person as it requires more energy to listen since it becomes tough to interact with a
beloved.
Commonly, certain people frequently attend eye, teeth, and other routine checkups daily
while we ignore the ears. We should take care of our hearing health as it highly influences
our quality of life.
If we keep hearing problems untreated, it may cause social isolation and dementia,
devasting the whole life. The biggest flaw is being left unaware due to a hearing problem.
So, healthy life requires a healthy hearing system.

The Solution

We use the Tympa system, the world’s first all-in-one hearing and ear health assessment
device. Treatment with this single hand-held portable device involves three diagnostic and
treating processes, all in a single 30-minute appointment.
1. Digital Otoscopy that captures HD images and videos of the inside ear.
2. Microsuction is the gold standard procedure for ear wax build-up removal.
3. Hear screening that tests your ability to hear.
We store the patient’s videos and images in our secure cloud to manage the health record. If
the patient needs more specialised care, this can be quickly shared, via a professional PDF,
with ENT surgeons, audiologists, or GPs. If you want remote advice and guidance from
Audiologists and ENT specialist surgeons in case of second opinion requirement, then use
our Remote Review feature.
