About
Open Ears is a clinic dedicated to the gentle removal of problematic ear wax, ear hygiene, foreign objects and cleaning in cases of ear canal infection.
The removal technique used is micro-suction (gentle suction) and aural toilet (small scoops), which in skilled hands is the method preferred by Ear, Nose and Throat doctors.
Treatment is provided by our Registered Nurse, Esther. Esther has experienced this type of nurse-led clinic in both New Zealand and the UK, which led her to undertake Nationally Accredited Training in this field.
The people of the Gladstone region now have access to a nurse-led clinic, which is dedicated to gentle and effective ear cleaning.
When I am cleaning the ear canal I am looking into the ear through binocular glasses the whole time. So unlike other methods, I have a clear view of what I am doing, this enables me to be precise and gentle whilst removing debris
