Babies Toddlers and Children

Parents all want the best for their children, to be able to live a happy, healthy life, pain-free. So when an outer ear infection occurs, you need quick, fast relief from symptoms and pain. At Ear Suction Hawkes Bay Anne has many babies, toddlers and children as clients as they are one of her areas of specialism. Anne is very experienced in dealing with microsuction for children of all ages.

Get fast relief

If you think your child or toddler may have an ear infection, we can assess your child with a quick appointment for treatment. We all know that children love to put things in places they shouldn’t, and foreign objects in ears are also known to cause ear infections. You may not even have seen your child do it, or perhaps while cleaning, the tip of the cotton bud got stuck in their ear. An assessment of the child’s ear with our special equipment can help determine the cause of the infection or whether Outer Ear Infections (Otitis Externa) or Inner Ear Infections (Otitis Media).

Infections

The infection can be cleared out using micro suction technology, the latest safe, efficient and gentle removal of infections. This low-pressure vacuum process clears the infection, removes the build-up of wax in your child’s ear, or the foreign object if that is the case, opening the ear canal.

Medicated drops

It is vital for a child or toddler who has a suspected ear infection to get specially medicated softening drops from their GP to use following their Microsuction session. These will be much more effective with no wax or debris in the outer ear canal.

Our Guide

Our booklet guide How to Survive an Ear Infection (Plus Other Health Issues that Occur in Ears) is packed full of useful information about ear infections, glue ear, earache and tinnitus. Normally priced at $19.99, our guide is free to our clients and to referring health professionals.

If you’d like a copy of our useful guide for free, book an appointment today at one of our handily-located clinics online on this website or by contacting Nick on 021 225 6425.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
