Kirton has a history far bigger than its current size suggests — it was once the seat of Lincolnshire’s first Saxon kings, and by the reign of Elizabeth I it was the third-largest settlement in the entire county. Today it’s a sizeable village just south of Boston, close to the Wash, with the 16th-century Old King’s Head standing as a quiet reminder of its busier past. Like much of the surrounding area, Kirton residents have increasingly found it difficult to access ear wax removal through their GP since the NHS withdrew routine funding for the service.
Ear Rescue exists to put that right. We provide professional, affordable ear wax removal for patients across Kirton, delivered personally by Jo England, a registered nurse with over 25 years of clinical experience. Our base in Boston is just 4 miles away — one of the shortest journeys of anywhere we cover.
Why Kirton Patients Choose Ear Rescue
Every Kirton patient is seen by Jo personally — no agency staff, no rushed appointments, no upselling. Jo was born deaf and regained approximately 90% of her hearing through treatment, an experience that gives her genuine, personal insight into what it means to struggle with hearing. Her clinical background spans hospital nursing at Pilgrim Hospital Boston, community nursing, GP practice work, and occupational health.
