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 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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
