(Audiograms)We will go the extra mile to give you GOLD SERVICE every time.A great ear clinic in Naylor Street, Hamilton East, Hamilton.We discourage the use of cotton buds to clean ears. TOLBECS nurses teach nose blowing and ear popping to help clear eustachian tubes for good ear function - especially for diving, flying and when you have a stuffy ear with a cold or the flu. We do not recommend the use of ear candles - they create a crystal layer and can cause burns. Ear suction is safer. If you experience a sudden hearing loss see us immediately. A discharging leaking or running ear needs attention. Surfers ear or swimmers ear can be helped. Vertigo, BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) Meniere's disease, tinnitus are also conditions we can assist with. We are able to offer a Free ear canal check during our opening hours - see for yourself what is inside your own ears. Before travel or a swimming, diving, flying, snorkeling, fishing, sailing holiday - come and get a free ear check to prevent ear problems while away. If you have had ear syringing before and didn't like it we know you'll enjoy the difference with our gentle ear suction method to remove ear wax. Many parents feel great once we have shown them their childrens ears through our microscopes, explained acute otitis media (sore ear, middle ear infection), or glue ear (otitis media with effusion). We are able to discuss the pros and cons of grommets - we provide a 'watchful wait' period of three months for 'Glue Ear' children. Often we can help avoid the need for grommet insertion by encouraging good nose function - no sniffing, nose blowing and ear popping (Valsalva). Folk with Otitis Externa(ear canal infection), ear drum perforations, cholesteatomas, tympanic membrane retractions and other ear conditions really appreciate our easy to understand explainations, often with diagrams. Ear drops use, BluTak use, ear muffs and ear plugs and information about hearing aids are all made more simple with our education.We hope to meet you soon and help you with your ear troubles.kind regards, Theresa- Director/Ear Nurse Therapist
