For adults who know they have wax and have used olive oil spray for a few days first.
Among the lowest prices in Nottingham
You only pay for what you need
Michele shows you inside your ears on a camera screen first, and you pay only for the ears that need treatment.
Microsuction and irrigation
Not every clinic offers both. Michele uses whichever suits your wax, or both, for the same price.
From Ilkeston to Woodthorpe
Happy Ears is about ten miles from Ilkeston, a straightforward drive along the A610 and across to Mansfield Road.
It is a fair drive, so it pays to arrive ready. Most wasted trips come down to a few things that are easy to check at home.
Getting to the clinic from Ilkeston
Take the A610 towards Nottingham, then across to Mansfield Road via Valley Road (A6514), or go via the A609, a similar time. By bus allow around 50 minutes: trentbarton's two, then the 54 or 55 Grey Line.
Happy Ears is at 4 Marlborough Road, Woodthorpe, Nottingham NG5 4FG. Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 3pm, by appointment only.
Before you set off: a quick checklist
- Have you softened the wax? Olive oil spray twice a day for three to five days, and at least two. Hard wax may not all come out in one visit.
- Any pain, discharge or a temperature? See your GP or pharmacist first. Michele will not treat an ear that looks infected.
- Is it for someone under 18? Happy Ears treats adults only.
- Using a wheelchair? There are two small steps at the entrance. A standard manual wheelchair fits through the doors, a larger electric one does not.
- Running late? Call 0115 647 1155 and let Michele know.
If everything checks out, you are ready. And if you booked one ear but both turn out to need doing, Michele can do both there and then, so you will not need a second trip for the other ear.
