Cost-effective

Ear cleaning and ear care is what we do. And since we’re also a mobile service, we’ve managed to keep our overheads to a minimum. This means savings for you.

Skilled care

The Ear Nurse is a registered nurse trained in ear health. We take a gentle approach to ear care, using the latest equipment and single-use consumables. Your confidence in the procedure and its results is our priority.

Comfort

We offer a gentle, tailored  experience according to your personal needs. Before we start, you’ll be asked several health related questions and we’ll decide together how to best achieve the outcome you require.

Have a problem with your ears? Here’s how we can help

If you’re experiencing blocked ears, discomfort or hearing issues, we can help address the underlying causes. We offer a variety of services which include: removal of ear wax by microsuction, removal of foreign bodies, treatment for infections and other conditions such as swimmers ear, surfers ear, eustachian tube dysfunction, eczema and dermatitis. 

 

Microsuction is the preferred and safest method for removal of excess or problematic ear wax. This method offers a controlled approach and allows for the gentle removal of excess wax while maintaining a level of protection in the ear canal. 

 

We use the Vorotek LED converged lens system, providing direct vision throughout the procedure.

Microsuction doesn‘t always require prior treatment with drops, although using olive oil for a day or two is generally helpful for optimal preparation. Learn more ...

If further assessment is required, we can refer you to specialist services such as hearing clinics and Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialists.
