Ear Wax Removal
We provide a Wax Removal Service for adults and teenagers of secondary school age and above. This is carried out using the latest high powered Zeiss Microscope and a vacuum suction machine.
Microsuction is a safe and painless method of wax removal without the after effects of ringing in the ears (tinnitus) sometimes caused as a result of the traditional water syringing method.
This service is provided by our own trained professionals - Libby, Julie-Ann and Robin, who specialise in wax removal.
Make an appointment now by calling us on either 04 384 7017, 027 384 7017 or...
The cost is $65.00 (or $60.00 for paid members, CSC Holders and Students with ID).
Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will result in a cancellation fee of $30 and you will not be given a priority appointment.

Over the Counter Vibe Hearing Aids
OTC Vibe Hearing Aids are designed for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. There are two types available to choose from: Behind the Ear and In the Ear.
Our trained staff will help you decide if an OTC hearing aid is right for you. If you have a severe or complex hearing loss, we will advise you accordingly.
OTC Hearing aids also do not have advanced functionality like Bluetooth and rechargeability. They are just designed to help you hear better.
Contact us on 04 384 7017 or
027 384 7017.
New Service
Ear Checks only - no appointment necessary.
You can come to our office to have your ears checked if you are not sure if you need an earwax removal done or not.
There's no charge for a check only.
We will never use Telemarketers or 'cold-calling' tactics to members of the public or any other organisation to promote and demand support for our services. We believe trust and respect is earned by focusing on building genuine relationships through transparent information and reputation.
All donations received are allocated directly to designated projects, programmes and community initiatives. This ensures that every contribution goes straight to the intended mission and creates meaningful impact.
