A hearing assessment at Abeer’s Ear Health Clinic includes a detailed discussion about your hearing history, an examination of your ear canals (otoscopy), and various tests like pure-tone audiometry and speech audiometry to measure your hearing sensitivity and understanding.

The duration can vary, but we ensure enough time is allocated for a thorough evaluation and a clear explanation of your results.

After your assessment, our audiologist will explain your results clearly and discuss any identified hearing loss. We will then present personalised recommendations, which may include options like hearing aids or other management strategies.

A professional hearing assessment is crucial for understanding your auditory health, detecting potential issues early, and guiding effective interventions to maintain or improve your hearing and overall quality of life.

If your hearing assessment reveals a hearing loss that could benefit from amplification, our audiologist will discuss suitable hearing aids as a potential solution. Common signs include difficulty following conversations, needing to turn up TV volume, or struggling in noisy environments.

We offer a diverse selection of the latest hearing aid technologies from leading manufacturers, including discreet in-the-ear models, powerful behind-the-ear options, and rechargeable devices, ensuring we can find the best hearing aids for you.

The fitting process at Abeer’s Ear Health Clinic involves custom programming your chosen hearing aids to your specific hearing loss. We also provide comprehensive guidance on how to use, clean, and care for your devices, along with follow-up appointments for adjustments.

Yes, our commitment extends beyond the initial fitting. We provide ongoing support, advice, and follow-up appointments to ensure you are achieving maximum benefit and satisfaction from your hearing aids.

Ear wax is a natural substance, but sometimes it can build up and cause symptoms like muffled hearing, earache, or dizziness. Professional ear wax removal safely and gently clears blockages, restoring hearing clarity and comfort.

At Abeer’s Ear Health Clinic, we use safe and effective methods such as microsuction (considered the gold standard, using a small suction device under direct visualisation).

Our ear wax extraction procedures are designed to be as gentle and comfortable as possible. Many patients report immediate relief after the procedure.

We strongly advise against attempting to remove ear wax yourself with cotton buds or other objects, as this can often push the wax further in and cause damage. Professional ear wax extraction in Birmingham is the safest and most effective method.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound (like ringing, buzzing, or hissing) in one or both ears when no external sound is present. It’s a symptom, not a disease itself, and can range from mild to debilitating.

While there is currently no single “cure” for tinnitus, there are many effective management strategies and therapies that can significantly reduce its perceived loudness and impact, helping you regain control over your daily life.

Our personalised tinnitus management plans may include sound therapy (e.g., using sound maskers or hearing aids with masking features), counselling and education, and lifestyle advice to help you understand and cope with your tinnitus.

We conduct thorough assessments to understand your unique experience with tinnitus and then develop a customised management plan. We provide ongoing support and guidance to help you reduce the impact of tinnitus on your well-being.
