Donington is best known as the birthplace of Matthew Flinders, the explorer who charted the coastline of Australia — a statue in the market place marks the spot, close to where he was born in 1774. It’s a proud, close-knit village in the heart of South Holland, and like much of the surrounding area, residents here have found it increasingly difficult to access ear wax removal through their GP since the NHS withdrew routine funding for the service.
That’s exactly why Ear Rescue exists. We provide professional, affordable ear wax removal for patients across Donington, delivered personally by Jo England, a registered nurse with over 25 years of clinical experience. Our base in Boston is around 8 miles away — a short, easy journey for most Donington residents.
Why Donington Patients Choose Ear Rescue
What sets Ear Rescue apart is simple: you’re seen by Jo, every time, with no agency staff, no rushed appointments, and no upselling. Jo was born deaf and regained approximately 90% of her hearing through treatment, giving her a genuinely personal understanding of what it means to struggle with hearing loss. Her clinical background spans hospital nursing, community nursing, GP practice work, and occupational health — broad experience that means she’s well placed to spot when something other than wax might be at play.
Our Services for Donington Patients
- Microsuction Ear Wax Removal — the gold standard for safe, effective wax removal, carried out under direct visualisation. Comfortable and precise, even for hard or impacted wax.

If you recognise any of the following, ear wax build-up is a likely cause, and one that’s straightforward to treat:
- Muffled or reduced hearing in one or both ears
- 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 performing less well than usual
Frequently Asked Questions
Most Donington patients make the short 8-mile trip to our Boston clinic, though home visits are available for anyone who’d prefer to be seen locally.
A consultation is £20, one ear is £40, both ears £60. Home visits are quoted individually based on your location.
It’s suitable for the vast majority of patients, including many for whom older methods like syringing aren’t appropriate. Jo will always assess your ears first to confirm it’s the right approach for you.
