Among his areas of expertise are cochlear implants, hearing loss, cholesteatoma and ear infections.

Additionally, he contributes to his field through the education of future ENT specialists.

Mr Nish Mehta is also an avid researcher. His latest scientific medical research explores the use of artificial intelligence in hearing loss, with the goal to improve outcomes for cochlear implantation, sudden onset hearing loss and ototoxicity (drug-related hearing loss).

- Dr Mehta was personable, informative, and reassuring throughout my stapedotomy journey. He listened carefully to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made both me and my mother feel at ease. I always felt genuinely cared for and supported. The hospital, surgery, and post-op care were seamless. Most importantly, my hearing outcome exceeded expectations, the results have been excellent. Highly recommend.
- After seeing a number of ENT consultants without getting clear answers, we finally found our way to Prof Metha —and what a difference it made. His expertise was immediately apparent, and he was able to reach a diagnosis that others had not identified, which brought a huge sense of relief. Thank you 🙏🏻
- I recently had balloon Eustachian tuboplasty and tympanoplasty under the care of Mr Mehta and I highly recommend him as a surgeon. From the first consultation through to the surgery & follow up appointments, Mr Mehta has been incredibly professional, efficient and trustworthy. He is clearly an extremely skilled surgeon who is at the top of his game. Having any kind of surgery can be a scary experience, but I knew I was in extremely safe hands. I am delighted with the results.
- Excellent
- Finding Nish was a god send. I lost my hearing & feared that it would never return. Nish was confident & reassuring when I visited him. His swift action & prompt diagnoses I believe is the reason which my hearing has returned. Cant thank him enough
- I am at an early stage in treatment. Mr Mehta has opened my eyes to the fact that he may be able to help me at a time when (after much asking) my GP said there was nothing that could be done. He and his staff are all very kind. Highly recommended.
- I am extremely grateful for the excellent treatment I received from Mr Nish Mehta, he couldn't have been more reassuring, knowledgeable and efficient. I would have no reservations about highly recommending him to anyone.
- Highly recommend. Listened carefully and showed excellent level of expertise
- Mr Nish Mehta Provided excellent care throughout. He was very patient, Kind and courteous and took time to explain everything and to reassure us. He even called us after the procedure to check that everything was alright. We can't thank him enough.
