Services

Dr Sean Flanagan sub-specialises in adult and paediatric ear disease and neuro-otologic and skull base disorders.
Ear disease encompasses the management of acute and chronic ear infections, hearing loss and tinnitus. This may involve purely medical management, or may range from procedures as routine as a ventilation tube insertion to cochlear implantation.
Neuro-otology and skull base surgery involves a broad discipline involving the management of benign and malignant tumours of the brain and skull base, assessment and management of facial nerve problems and complex balance disorders.

The main clinic on the St Vincent’s Hospital Campus is at 352 Victoria St Darlinghurst and offers comprehensive clinical assessment, with in office high definition endoscopy, audiology (hearing tests) and CT scanning.

At Shire Family ENT, Suite 16, 20-24 Gibbs St, Miranda, the clinic also offers in-office HD (high definition) endoscopy and audiology services. Patients requiring surgical care have the option of Kareena Private Hospital, St Vincent’s Private or Public Hospitals, or Sutherland Hospital.

The Forster Clinic has available in office HD endoscopy with audiology services arranged through Hearing Care in Forster and Community Services. Routine surgery is performed at Forster Private Hospital, but those patients requiring specific care may need to travel to Sydney, or may be referred to a close colleague in Newcastle. No public services are available in Forster or Taree.

Dr Sean Flanagan runs a monthly otology and neurotology clinic at the Illawarra Head and Neck Clinic in Wollongong. Those patients requiring surgical intervention will need to travel to Sydney.

Dr Flanagan also runs a monthly otology and neurotology clinic at St Vincent’s Public Hospital.
