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 or irrigation?
Warm water irrigation at Happy Ears.
Not every clinic offers both methods. Michele does, and she decides which to use on the day, once she has looked at your ears.
Microsuction
A fine suction tube lifts the wax out while Michele watches on camera. It is often the better choice for wax deep in the canal, or if you have had ear problems in the past. Ear microsuction
Warm water irrigation
A gentle, controlled flow of warm water loosens and flushes the wax out. It works very well on wax that has been softened with olive oil, and it is nothing like old-style syringing. Ear irrigation
Sometimes the best result comes from using both in one appointment. The price is the same either way, because you pay per ear, not per method.
