Mr Jeremy Lavy

Written by a NHS patient at Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital

In my early 40’s I was diagnosed with otosclerosis after struggling hearing for sometime, I had surgery on my right ear back in 2017 with a different surgeon in my home town. It was a success but recovery was slow, I was sick after general anaesthetic and it put me off having my left ear done. I researched and found that Jeremy was the best in his field within travelling distance. I’ve waited 6/7 years as my primary care trust sent me to every hospital in Essex that do the surgery but always under general. I begged my GP to refer me to Jeremy Lavy. She did. I’m pleased to say surgery was done yesterday. From start to finish Jeremy and his team have been amazing. I managed to get to Grafton Way building in London even with a train strike, once I got there and realised I was last on surgical list, I told of my concerns getting last train home as they were only running one an hour and last one was 21:15 they bumped me up knowing I had a restricted train time to meet. The team kept me informed and looked after me so well. I had surgery at 16:15 and was home having a cuppa at 21:00. During surgery Jeremy asked if I could hear him and I heard him! Today, the next morning- I am feeling bright, well and so excited. I hope Jeremy and his team know how life changing this is, no more hearing aids, being able to join in conversations freely, being able to hear low tone of my hubby and son’s voices without consistently saying “pardon” “ what did you say” My surgery was done in the Grafton way building which was state of the art. Thanks Jeremy and team @Royal national ENT and Eastman dental hospital

In my late 20’s I was diagnosed with otosclerosis. After having 2 children my hearing deteriorated further. I tried to wear hearing aids without success, so I explored the possibility of surgery. I had a Stapedectomy operation to my right ear 30 years ago, it was a complete success and made a huge difference to my life. I knew at some point in time I would need the same operation to my left ear. That point In time arrived, as I have struggled with my hearing loss significantly during the last 5 years. I researched Top Surgeons for stapedectomy surgery and found Mr Lavy, who is the leading surgeon in the Uk. His outstanding expertise and success rate in this field is quite astonishing. I first met with Mr Lavy in February 2023 at One Welbeck clinic , London. During my consultation he fully explained my hearing loss, backed up by a full audiology test carried out at the clinic.Mr Lavy filled me with such confidence, and I knew this was the person I wanted to perform this operation. Mr Lavy is very professional and approachable. He explains everything very clearly, in a very friendly manner. My surgery was booked for March 2023. Two days before my operation Mr Lavy and I had a zoom call meeting to see how I was feeling and to discuss the operation in detail. Leading up to my operation I was naturally becoming nervous, however after talking with Mr Lavy be completely re assured me, and I knew I was making the right decision as we ended the call. On the day of my operation all nerves had disappeared. The whole team at One Welbeck clinic were outstanding in their care and attention. Mr Lavy’s surgical team were incredible and very reassuring. The operation was carried out under local anaesthetic , with sedation, 30 years ago I had full anaesthetic ! Mr Lavy assured me that my recovery under local anaesthetic would be much quicker. I could hear Mr Lavy throughout the operation talking to his team, via my right ear. Then I heard Mr Lavy speak in my left ear and ask me….. Julie, Can you hear me ? I was absolutely ecstatic, and could hear him loud and clear! Mr Lavy confirmed after my surgery that the operation did not present any problems or complications. I left the clinic 2 hours later with my husband to drive home! During the car journey I did experience reverberation in my ear, however I did not experience any pain whatsoever, no loss of taste, balance, or dizziness. Mr Lavy prescribed antibiotic drops for my ear for 2 weeks until my follow up appointment when he removed the dressing. 4 weeks later I visited Mr Lavy for my post-op audiology test, which confirmed the success of my operation. Both ears now have equal hearing, and the left ear has increased by 40 db. I can hear in stereo again and with directional hearing and greater clarity. This operation has been life changing for me and I am so truly Thankful and Grateful to Mr Lavy. He is an incredible Surgeon !!

I have just had a stapedectomy performed by Jeremy Lavy and my life has been absolutely transformed. I now no longer need a hearing aid, I have no trouble hearing conversations in any environment and my enjoyment of music has increased tremendously. Before the operation even with a very expensive hearing aid I had great trouble hearing bass frequencies and now everything sounds so much better and richer. I play and sing in a small band and since the operation my singing has improved due to my more sensitive hearing. Jeremy's bedside manner before and during the operation was very reassuring. He instantly took my worries away and I felt that I was with the very best possible surgeon in the field. I whole experience could not have been better and I'm looking forward to seeing him again to have the stapes replaced on my left ear soon.

My Lavy performed a stapedectomy on my left ear in 2020 and completely restored my hearing. I returned in 2022 to have the stapedectomy performed on my right ear and again it was a complete success and my hearing has been restored. He is an amazing surgeon, he's friendly, personable and has great empathy and humour in his interactions. Due to Mr Lavy and his team, my quality of life has been improved significantly. I'm now able to hear and communicate in personal and professional environments. The Welbeck Hospital is state of the art and they've employed medical staff at the top of their game. I have complete confidence in their abilities.
