About Ear Health Wellington

EarHealth is a New Zealand ear and hearing care provider, established in 1995 and now operating clinics in over 60 locations across the country. Care is provided by nurses and audiologists, with a particular focus on microsuction ear wax removal, which the clinic describes as the diamond standard for ear cleaning.

Beyond ear cleaning, EarHealth treats a range of ear conditions including ear infections, earache, swimmer's ear, aeroplane ear, surfer's ear and glue ear. On the hearing side, the clinic offers a comprehensive range of audiology services in Auckland and Christchurch, including hearing aid fitting and repair, along with free online tools - an online hearing test and an online tinnitus quiz - that people can use at home to help guide their next steps.

EarHealth also stocks hearing protection products, including custom-fitted earplugs for sleep, swimming and music, alongside broader hearing aid support covering pricing, funding, trials, and repair or trade-in options.

EarHealth: Ear Cleaning and Hearing Care Across New Zealand

EarHealth has been looking after New Zealanders' ears since 1995, and over more than 25 years has grown into a network of clinics spanning over 60 locations across the country. Care is delivered by nurses and audiologists, giving the clinic a foundation in both nursing-led ear care and specialist audiology.

Microsuction: the diamond standard

EarHealth's headline service is ear cleaning by microsuction, which the clinic describes as the diamond standard for ear cleaning and earwax removal. It's a gentler alternative to older methods of wax removal, and it sits at the centre of EarHealth's ear services alongside care for a range of common ear conditions: ear infections, earache, swimmer's ear, aeroplane ear, surfer's ear, and glue ear. Covering this breadth of conditions under one roof means patients don't need to bounce between a GP and a specialist for routine ear problems.

Understanding your hearing

On the hearing side, EarHealth provides education and testing across the full picture of how hearing works and what can go wrong with it - from sensorineural and conductive hearing loss through to congenital hearing loss, and the link between hearing loss and dementia. For anyone wanting a starting point before booking an appointment, EarHealth offers a free online hearing test that can be taken at home, alongside more clinical assessments like the Pure Tone Test, Speech Test and Tympanometry Test available in-clinic.

Tinnitus support

Tinnitus gets its own dedicated stream of information and testing, including a free online tinnitus test, plus content covering tinnitus causes, types and treatment options. For people unsure whether ringing or buzzing in their ears warrants a clinical visit, the online quiz offers a low-commitment way to get a sense of next steps.

Hearing aids, without the guesswork

EarHealth's comprehensive hearing services - available in Auckland and Christchurch - include hearing aid fitting and repair. The clinic also addresses the practical side of hearing aid ownership: pricing, funding options, trials before committing to a purchase, and repair or trade-in support for hearing aids people already own. A dedicated hearing aid quiz is also available to help New Zealanders work out which type of device might suit them.

Protecting your hearing before it's a problem

Beyond treatment, EarHealth also sells hearing protection products, including earplugs designed specifically for sleep, swimming and music, as well as custom-fitted earplugs for a more precise fit. It's a preventive angle that complements the clinic's treatment-focused services - protecting hearing rather than only responding once there's a problem.

Finding a clinic

With clinics in more than 60 locations nationwide, EarHealth is set up to be accessible across New Zealand rather than concentrated in one or two cities, though its full hearing aid fitting and repair service is specifically available in Auckland and Christchurch. A clinic locator on the EarHealth website helps patients find their nearest location before booking.
