Yes, we do clean kids' ears!
One of the most frequent questions we are asked is if our nurses can remove wax or objects from the ears of young children - and the answer is yes!
Cleaning children's ears
14 August 2019
How Old?
The youngest ears we have cleaned belonged to four week old baby, and our Ear Nurses regularly care for children of all ages.
Kid friendly!
Ear Hygiene Clinic is child-friendly, from toys and books in the waiting room to gentle Registered Nurses who are experienced in making appointments as comfortable as possible.
Ear wax removal can be turned into a game (i.e. "treasure hunting") to make the experience more fun, and our nurses have a model of a child's ear to show older children what they are doing.
Safe for small ears!
Our nurses are highly skilled in gently and safely removing wax and foreign objects from children's ears.
The microscopic glasses used by our nurses (instead of the large microscope) enable them to adapt to each position a child may move to, and they pace their treatment to suit what each individual child can handle.
Kids will often sit on a parent's lap to help them relax and feel more comfortable
