They are trained by ENT consultants, and care passionately about offering a quality service to our patients. Since we only use the best, most up to date equipment in our clinics, you can be sure of getting best in class treatment. 

Earlab’s founders came together from both sides of the ear care business; Tim Galvin after suffering with challenging ear symptoms following a serious illness, and David Walker an experienced ENT Surgeon. Together they appreciated the difficulties patients faced accessing high quality ear care, at a time when NHS services are stretched and ear clearance is no longer offered in local health centres. 

By employing the most experienced practitioners using the best quality equipment, patients know they are getting the best in class treatment for their conditions. Indeed, patients attending alternative clinics and private providers are frequently referred to EarLab to address their conditions. 

EarLab continues to seek out the best qualified staff in community locations to deliver this expertise to the patients who need it.
