Long Sutton’s St Mary’s Church is topped by the oldest, tallest lead-covered timber spire in England — reputedly the model used for the spire at Salisbury Cathedral. The town has a colourful past too: the highwayman Dick Turpin is said to have lived here for nine months under an alias while evading capture. It’s a market town with genuine character, but like much of South Holland, residents here have increasingly found it hard 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 Long Sutton, delivered personally by Jo England, a registered nurse with over 25 years of clinical experience. Our base in Boston is around 18 miles away — for many Long Sutton patients, a far more dependable route to treatment than an uncertain NHS wait.
Why Long Sutton Patients Choose Ear Rescue
Every patient is seen by Jo personally — no agency staff, no rushed slots, no upselling. Jo was born deaf and regained roughly 90% of her hearing through treatment, giving her real, lived insight into what hearing loss means day to day. Her clinical background spans hospital nursing, community nursing, GP practice work, and occupational health.

If any of the following sound familiar, ear wax build-up is a common, easily treated cause:
- 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 working less effectively than usual
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients make the 18-mile trip to our Boston clinic, but home visit appointments are available for anyone who’d prefer to be seen locally.
A consultation is £20, one ear £40, both ears £60. Home visits are quoted individually.
Most NHS practices have stepped away from syringing because microsuction, carried out under direct visual guidance, is generally considered safer and more precise — and it’s the method we use as standard.
