Middle Ear (Intratympanic) Injections in Rossett
A middle ear injection places steroid through the eardrum to settle the symptoms of Ménière's disease or sudden hearing loss. Carried out as an outpatient procedure by Mr Huw Jones, Consultant ENT Surgeon — no NHS waiting list.
An intratympanic injection delivers a small dose of steroid through the eardrum and into the middle ear, so the medication acts close to the inner ear where the problem lies. It is used mainly to manage Ménière's disease and sudden sensorineural hearing loss, where treating the ear directly can be more targeted than tablets alone.
The procedure is done in the outpatient clinic under local anaesthetic. At Bridge House Clinic in Rossett it is performed by Mr Huw Jones, a Consultant ENT Surgeon, and you can arrange it directly without joining an NHS waiting list.
Your clinician will confirm the most suitable method at your appointment.
Note any recent hearing tests, diagnosis of Ménière's or sudden hearing loss, and previous ear surgery or perforations so the right approach can be planned.
Tell us what you take, including blood thinners and any steroids, so Mr Jones can confirm the injection is suitable for you.
You may feel briefly dizzy or off-balance afterwards, so it is sensible to have someone able to help you home rather than driving straight away.
Why have your injection at Bridge House Clinic
Mr Jones reviews your symptoms and recent hearing results, examines the ear and explains what the injection involves before you agree to go ahead.
A local anaesthetic is applied to the eardrum so the injection itself is well tolerated. You stay awake throughout.
Using a fine needle, the steroid is passed through the eardrum into the middle ear while you lie with the treated ear uppermost. It takes only a few minutes.
You rest with your head still for a little while to let the medication settle, then we give you advice on what to expect and arrange any follow-up before you leave.

What should I expect afterwards? +
You may notice some fullness in the ear or brief dizziness as the medication settles, so it's best not to drive straight away. Mr Jones will explain what is normal for you and arrange any follow-up.
What conditions is it used for? +
It is used mainly for Ménière's disease and sudden sensorineural hearing loss, where delivering steroid directly into the middle ear can be more targeted than tablets alone.
