microscopic ear examination

At our HIlls ENT clinic, we specialize in comprehensive ear health, utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques like the Microscopic Ear Examination. This procedure is a cornerstone in diagnosing and treating a wide range of ear conditions.

What is a Microscopic Ear Examination?

A Microscopic Ear Examination is a detailed evaluation of the ear using a high-powered microscope. This specialized equipment allows Dr. Schleimer to magnify the structures of the ear, providing an exceptionally clear and detailed view. It is essential in accurately diagnosing ear conditions, ranging from simple ear infections to more complex issues like eardrum perforations or cholesteatomas.

Procedure Details:

During a Microscopic Ear Examination, patients are comfortably seated while the ENT specialist uses the microscope to examine the external auditory canal, eardrum, and middle ear. This non-invasive procedure is painless and provides critical insights into the health of your ears.

Ideal for Various Ear Conditions:

The Microscopic Ear Examination is ideal for evaluating multiple ear conditions, including:

• Ear infections
• Eardrum issues, like perforations or retractions
• Earwax blockages
• Evaluating the ear before and after surgery

Who Should Get a Microscopic Ear Examination?

This examination is recommended for anyone experiencing ear-related symptoms such as hearing loss, ear pain, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), or vertigo. It's also a routine part of follow-up care for patients who have undergone ear surgery.
