Blocked, painful or itchy ears, dizziness or headaches?
Or maybe you have swimmer’s or surfer’s ear or wax build up from wearing hearing aids or ear plugs? Ear wax removal by microsuction could well be the answer.
Ear wax removal by microsuction is a treatment for cleaning your ear canals under the magnified view of a surgical microscope using a tiny vacuum cleaner to remove ear wax, loose hairs or dry skin. It’s safer, quicker and more comfortable than alternatives such as ear syringing. Unlike ear syringing or ear irrigation, where wax is flushed out without a view of the canal, during microsuction the ear canal is being directly viewed with the microscope. This makes the procedure quicker, safer and more comfortable.
Microsuction is the safest technique for cleaning ear wax from the ear canal and much safer than ear syringing. The microscope offers a magnified so Anne our registered nurse can see extremely well meaning she can remove wax and debris without touching the ear canal walls and also allows Anne to assess the ear canal and your overall ear health.
Anne says “I have used safe, comfortable and rapid visualised microsuction to remove the wax from literally thousands of ears. Don’t risk damaging your ears with unsafe, now discredited water syringing or by poking things in your ears, these can lead to unnecessary permanent damage. When we go in the water with a blockage in the outer ear, water can lodge behind the wax leading to hearing loss, irritation and distress. This creates an opportunity for fungal infections to develop in what becomes a warm & moist environment. So if you or your children love a dip come and see me”.
Do you need ear protection plugs? Anne also uses her expertise in ears to act as a solutions-provider for those needing custom-made ear protection plugs, providing a wide range of affordable custom-made ear protection plugs. So whether you’re an individual sensibly protecting your hearing from noise whilst biking, shooting, swimming, music, surfing or a trying to sleep with a heavy snorer we can help.
Ear protection for work. If you need ear protection plugs at work because you use noisy tools or plant, suffering noise is unhealthy and can lead to increased blood pressure, stress and tiredness, not counting what it does to your hearing. Ear muffs are a short-term fix and ineffective, as often they are old and not maintained or safety glasses mean they don’t cover the ears properly. Off-the-shelf non-custom made earplugs do not fit properly and can be worse than useless.
Our ear plugs comprise two important elements custom-fit moulded plugs and sound attenuating filters. Each ear plug is made from an impression of the user’s ear to ensure a perfect fit (preventing sound leaking in through any gaps which can be found in generic fit ear plugs) being made of a soft, medical grade silicone to ensure a comfortable fit, even when worn for long periods of time. The attenuating filters fitted to our ear plugs reduce sound to safe levels without causing muffling, so the wearer can hear safely and clearly while being protected from dangerous sound levels. All the filters have been tested and certified to the European Standard for ear plug hearing protectors: EN352-2. The Class 3 & 5 plugs have been tested to the AustralianNew Zealand standard AS/NZS 1270. Anne runs her clinics in Hastings, Napier, Taradale, Havelock North, Dannevirke and Waipukurau but for those who can’t make it to her clinic Anne will also work around you on Saturday mornings, with early starts and home or rest home visits. Anne provides a very personalised service - you will see ear nurse Anne on each and every visit.
