Micro Suction Specialist

Welcome to Healthy Ears, in Te Puke, in the Bay of Plenty. My name is Jolanda Smith, for the last thirty years, I’ve served as a dedicated registered nurse, specializing in medical and palliative care, as a district nurse, practice nurse and also as a ear nurse specialist for the past twenty years.

I have really enjoyed being a ear nurse, i enjoy the challenge, and also find it rewarding in being able to help people with their ear problems where I can.  I previously worked as an ear nurse for Ear Health in Te Puke for 10 years, and have since purchased the Te Puke clinic from them, as i live locally and am happy to provide this service for our community and surrounding areas.

At Healthy Ears, in Te Puke, my expertise lies in utilizing micro-suction techniques, aided by a microscope, to ensure precise and safe removal of ear wax, debris, and foreign bodies. Additionally, I assess various ear-related issues and offer comprehensive education on proper ear care practices. 

Ear wax or cerumen acts as a natural barrier, however a build up can lead to various issues including hearing impairment, discomfort, infections and vertigo.  Many people resort to DIY methods, however inserting objects in to the ear canal risks pushing the wax deeper, potentially causing blockages or causing trauma.

At Healthy Ears in Te Puke, it has a quiet and relaxed environment, there is good parking at the premises, and is wheelchair accessible. No referrals are needed for an appointment. The clinic is shared with Te Puke Osteopathic clinic, and Nairn Fisher Accountants.  When you arrive for your  appointment, please come in and take a seat and i will come and get you. Please note appointments are not made at the premises,  Eftpos available, no paywave or credit.   I do look forward to helping you with your ear concerns.
