Mr Robert Grounds

Mr Robert Grounds is a Consultant ENT Surgeon at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, working across Brighton, Worthing and Haywards Heath. Ranking as one of the top ear surgeons in the country after completing ENT training in the UK, he was awarded the prestigious TWJ Fellowship to undertake additional training in Canada, gaining expertise in complex ear, hearing and balance surgery beyond the remit of most ENT Surgeons. His advanced training using modern, advanced techniques not routinely practised in the UK gives him a range of solutions to help all patients get the best possible care.

Mr Grounds treats the full spectrum of adult and paediatric ENT conditions, with a specialist interest in Otology; including hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders, implantable hearing aids, tinnitus, and Eustachian tube dysfunction. He also has extensive experience managing common ENT problems such as tonsillitis, sinusitis, nosebleeds and hoarseness.

A committed educator and researcher, Mr Grounds has published widely and teaches future ENT specialists. His compassionate, patient-centred approach is deeply influenced by his own experience of undergoing multiple major ear surgeries as a child.

Outside medicine, he is a classically trained musician with an interest in music production, as well as a keen cook, traveller, and charity volunteer. As a husband and father of two, he ensures every patient receives the same level of care he would expect for his own family.
