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 Keyworth to Woodthorpe
Happy Ears is about 12 miles from Keyworth, usually quickest round the ring road via Clifton Boulevard, or through Tollerton if you prefer the back roads.
The pharmacy shelf is full of ear products, and it is hard to know which to choose. Michele's advice is simple.
Getting to the clinic from Keyworth
The ring road via Clifton Boulevard is usually quickest. Tollerton Lane is shorter in miles but a few minutes slower. By bus allow about an hour: the keyworth into the city, then a Lime Line bus up Mansfield Road.
Happy Ears is at 4 Marlborough Road, Woodthorpe, Nottingham NG5 4FG. Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 3pm, by appointment only.
Olive oil spray, drops, and what to avoid
Use: olive oil spray
Available from most pharmacies. A short spray at the entrance of the canal lets the oil work into the wax and soften it, so it comes away easily. Twice a day for three to five days before you come, and at least two.
Avoid: cotton buds and home kits
Buds, scoops and home syringe or camera kits tend to push wax further in, and can irritate the skin of the canal.
Michele does not recommend sodium bicarbonate drops.
Softening is all you need to do at home. The removal is Michele's job.
What patients say
A few words from Michele's Google reviews, which include patients from Keyworth and the villages south of the river.
"I have been having wax removal over lots of years in both my ears and today I can say it was the best most comfortable and relaxing experience I have ever had."
"It was very interesting to see inside my ears with Michelle's camera which clearly showed the wax build up."
"If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Michele did a fantastic job cleaning out my ears."
