Microsuction and irrigation
Not every clinic offers both. Michele uses whichever suits your wax, or both, for the same price.
Why Hucknall patients travel to Woodthorpe
It is about five miles from Hucknall to Happy Ears, a straightforward drive down the A611. Patients make the trip for the time Michele takes, and for seeing their own ears on screen before and after.

The A611 is usually quickest, or Bestwood Park Drive West, which is a similar time. By bus allow around 35 minutes: trentbarton's the threes into Nottingham, then the 54 or 55 Grey Line to Woodthorpe.

Booking around a holiday or a trip
- Book with time to spare Leave a few days between your appointment and your trip, rather than booking the day before you go.
- Prepare for three to five days Olive oil spray twice a day, for at least two days and ideally three to five, so the wax is soft on the day.
- Have the wax removed Michele shows you your ears on screen before and after, so you know they are clear.
- Keep your ears dry afterwards After irrigation in particular, keep water out of your ears for four to five days, especially sea water. If you swim, ear plugs help until your ears have made a little fresh wax to protect them.
- Flying soon after? Mention it when you book and Michele will advise you.
Michele does not recommend sodium bicarbonate drops.
