Stop ear infection pain today. ENT expert care. Same day.
Ear infection experiences from real ClearEar patients
Real patients who came to ClearEar with pain swelling or complex ear problems and left with answers support and a clear plan.
I literally cannot fault this place. I had never heard of ClearEar before I started exploring my options during the weekend for emergency or immediate care for my worsening ear infection. When I reached out to enquire I explained my complex case and asked if I was a patient they could handle and I was immediately reassured so I made a same day appointment and left AandE to see Dr Tamer.
He assessed my condition and explained that it was more serious than I had expected as it had spread to my jaw bone. He comforted me as he could tell I was in shock and anxious after going from GP to GP with long waits in AandE different antibiotics and still no answers.
He explained everything answered all of my questions then immediately took action by draining the ear prescribing antibiotics and all other medication I would need. Since then I have had check in calls every day to monitor my fever and swelling and to adjust follow ups if needed. I am blown away and completely grateful to finally feel seen after more than two weeks of trying to get help. I will never go anywhere else for my ear health now. 1000% recommend.
I recently visited Violeta the ENT specialist at ClearEar to have my ear cleaned that has a mastoid cavity. The experience was far better than what I have had at the hospital I normally attend. She was incredibly meticulous took her time and made sure everything was done thoroughly and correctly.
The care and attention to detail were excellent and I left feeling genuinely looked after. Highly recommend for anyone needing specialist ear cleaning or dealing with more complex ear conditions.
My visit to ClearEar was excellent. I saw Dr Avril she was so lovely and knew exactly what was wrong straight away. Going to a specialist ear doctor was a must for me as I felt other doctors in the past had misdiagnosed my ear problem whereas Avril knew immediately.
She gave me clear steps to fix my issue and I cannot wait to go back. Such a pleasant experience all the staff were really nice and welcoming. I really recommend ClearEar for everyone.

Ear infection FAQ
A few of the most common questions we hear about ear infections and how ClearEar can help.
How do I know if I have an ear infection or just wax
Wax build up usually causes a blocked feeling and reduced hearing with very little sharp pain. Ear infections often cause stronger pain especially at night along with a feeling of heat or pressure.
During your appointment we examine the ear canal and eardrum with a medical camera so we can see if the problem is wax infection or something else.
Do I need a GP referral to book
No referral is needed. You can book directly for an ear infection assessment in our Dublin city centre or Lucan clinic.
If we feel you need GP or ENT follow up we will explain this clearly and summarise our findings so you know what to tell your doctor.
Can you prescribe antibiotics for an ear infection
ClearEar does not replace your GP service or hospital care. Our role is to examine the ear explain what we see and advise on the next best step.
If we think antibiotics or other prescription medicines may be helpful we will advise you to contact your GP or out of hours doctor the same day.
How long does an ear infection appointment take
Most appointments take around 20 minutes. This includes a short history of your symptoms the ear examination and time for you to ask questions.
Can children be seen for ear infections
Ear infections are very common in children. We can often see older children and teenagers for assessment.
For very young children or if your child seems very unwell we may recommend GP or paediatric review instead. We will always put your child’s safety first.
Is an ear infection contagious
The pain itself is not contagious but some of the viruses and colds that trigger ear infections can pass between people.
Good hand hygiene and avoiding close contact when someone has a cold or flu can help reduce the risk of ear infections especially in families with young children.
