Crowland is one of the Fens’ most distinctive towns, dominated by the dramatic ruins of Crowland Abbey — founded in the 8th century on what was once an island, in honour of the hermit-saint Guthlac. Just nearby stands the unusual Trinity Bridge, a three-way medieval bridge that no longer crosses any river at all, a quiet reminder of how much this landscape has changed. It’s a town with genuine character, and like much of South Holland, residents here have increasingly struggled to access ear wax removal locally since the NHS withdrew routine funding for the service.
Ear Rescue exists to close that gap. We provide professional, affordable ear wax removal for patients across Crowland, delivered personally by Jo England, a registered nurse with over 25 years of clinical experience. Our base in Boston is around 22 miles away — for many Crowland patients, that’s a far more reliable route to treatment than an uncertain NHS referral.
Why Crowland Patients Choose Ear Rescue
Jo set up Ear Rescue with one aim: to make proper ear care genuinely accessible across Lincolnshire, without the rushed appointments or upselling you might find at a high street chain. She was born deaf and regained roughly 90% of her hearing through treatment — an experience that gives her real insight into what it means to struggle with your hearing. Every Crowland patient is seen by Jo personally, drawing on more than 25 years of nursing experience across hospital, community, GP practice, and occupational health settings.
Our Services for Crowland Patients
- Microsuction Ear Wax Removal — the gold standard treatment, using gentle suction under direct visualisation. Quick, comfortable, and effective even on hard or stubborn wax.
- Ear Wax Irrigation — a controlled warm water wash, well suited to softer wax that’s been pre-treated with drops.
- Ear Health Checks — a proper examination to confirm whether wax is actually behind your symptoms before any treatment is suggested.
- Home Visit Appointments — for patients who find travelling difficult, we bring all the necessary equipment to treat you comfortably at home.

- A feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear
- Ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds (tinnitus)
- Mild earache or discomfort
- Dizziness or a sense of imbalance
- Difficulty hearing in noisy environments
- Hearing aids that seem to be working less effectively
