Richard Irving

The Birmingham Ear Clinic is the first and only private clinic in the West Midlands which is dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis and treatment of ear, hearing and balance problems in adults and children. Lead consultant, Richard Irving, is one of the UK’s leading otologists – a specialist in the study of conditions of the ear, hearing and balance. Providing in and out-patient care at BMI The Priory and BMI The Edgbaston Hospitals in Birmingham, The Birmingham Ear Clinic offers the highest quality investigation and treatment of all major and minor ear and balance disorders within the largest private hospital group in the UK. We are able to draw on the skills and expertise of a group of experienced professionals from associated specialities which enable us to deliver comprehensive investigations and treatment to our patients. Patients may be referred to our Clinic at the request of their own general practitioners. We also receive many “tertiary” referrals of patients from other ENT surgeons, surgeons from elsewhere in the UK and from overseas, who are seeking a specialist opinion and advice for their own patients from a renowned expert in the field. In addition, The Birmingham Ear Clinic Medlegal Division undertakes medico-legal work for solicitors and reporting agencies, providing high quality reports in cases of industrial deafness and personal injury.
