Meet Your Specialist

Hi, I'm Dr. Soma. Let's work on getting your hearing back

I know how frustrating it is when a "clogged" ear or a constant itch ruins your focus during a meeting or a family dinner. I've spent my career as an ENT specialist in Singapore helping patients resolve these distractions so they can get back to their day feeling like themselves again.

To me, being a reliable specialist means being as thorough as possible from the very first visit. I don't believe in "guessing"; I use precision tools to identify the root cause of your discomfort. My aim is to provide a comprehensive clinical solution that properly addresses the issue, helping you avoid the need for repeated, temporary fixes.

My goal is to provide a safe, expert environment for your care while my team handles the insurance paperwork. I look forward to helping you enjoy your conversations and listen to your favourite songs with clarity again.

Who We Help

Are You Wondering if it's Finally Time to See a Specialist About These Symptoms?

I usually see four types of patients who benefit most from this level of care:

The High-Performance Professional

You need to get back to peak focus quickly.

The Frequent Traveller

You're dealing with "Ear Barotrauma" or pain after landing.

The Active Earbud User

Constant use of buds has packed wax deep into the canal.

Concerned Parents and Caregivers

You want to make sure your child or elderly parent is treated by a senior specialist using the safest technology available.

Why generic ear cleaning often falls short

In a humid place like Singapore, using water to "flush" the ears can actually trap moisture inside. This often leads to fungal infections. And if someone is cleaning your ear without a high-powered microscope, they're essentially working "blind." That's where we do things differently.

Our Method

A Specialised Approach Tailored for You

At your consultation, I don't just reach for a single tool. I start with a detailed microscopic evaluation to see exactly what's going on. Depending on what I find, I'll choose the safest method for your specific ear:

Method 01
100% Dry Method
No trapped moisture risk
Microscope-Guided
High-power surgical precision
Ideal for Most earwax cases
1

Microscope & Precision Suction

Think of this as a tiny, gentle "vacuum." It's 100% dry, which is much safer for our humid climate.

Method 02
For Hardened Blockages
Specialised Micro-tools
For stubborn, hardened wax
Microscope-Guided
Precise, safe removal
2

Microscope & Micro-instrumentation

If the wax is very hard or stuck, I use specialised, tiny tools to carefully remove it under the microscope.

Method 03
Gentle Ear Irrigation
Controlled Wash
Gentle, specialised flush
Selected cases only
Recommended when Clinically indicated
3

Manual Ear Irrigation

In some cases, a gentle, specialised wash is the recommended way to clear the canal.

Included in Your Visit
1
A 360-degree Microscopic Audit

Unlike a standard handheld check, I use a high-power surgical microscope to see every corner of your ear canal.

2
Advanced Clinical Screening

I will personally screen for "hidden" issues that are often missed, such as deep-seated infections, fungal growth, or Keratosis Obturans (a rare buildup of skin cells that can damage the ear canal if left alone).

3
Specialised, "Dry" Clearance

Depending on your specific diagnosis, I will use the safest method for your ears, whether that is precision suction (a gentle "vacuum" that is much safer for our humid climate) or micro-instrumentation to carefully remove hardened blockages.

4
The "Financial Shield" Service

My team provides full concierge support, managing 100% of your insurance claims with providers such as Prudential, Income, or HSBC Life, ensuring you have no "hidden cost" anxiety. Medisave may not be claimable for simple ear wax cleaning procedures and consultation.
