Introduction:

  • Feeling unsure about ear care is frustrating. You want to quickly identify the problem, use the best techniques, give clear answers; but without the right knowledge, second guessing yourself can become the norm.

  • You’ve done your best to learn about ear care on your own by asking others, reading articles or even taking online courses. But no matter how much you search, the information always feels incomplete.

  • When you’re face-to-face with your clients, you need more than just bits and pieces. You need a structured, reliable education that gives you the confidence to diagnose and treat ear conditions optimally, independently!

  • That’s exactly what our MicroEarCare course is designed to provide - clear, practical training that bridges the gaps and gives you the knowledge & skills you actually need in YOUR clinic.

  • What's more, you’ll be learning with a group of your peers in an interactive experience, complete with Q&A sessions in every class.

  • We’ll cover everything you need to know: theory, hands-on techniques and best practices so you can deliver excellent MicroEarCare for your clients safely, accurately, with confidence!

Testimonials

What students have said about this course...

Anon - Auckland Clinic
"I now have a stronger understanding of the A&P and know how important ear care is as there is so much that can cause damage. The course was very thorough and easy to follow, the photos were very helpful. I'll now be able to give top treatment and advice to clients so they can take good care of their ears & hearing."

Emma Pere RN, Ear Nurse, Leader of Ear Nursing Ltd

"The Essential Ear Care course helped tremendously with my confidence in the clinic and gave our new nurse a strong foundation. Wanting to expand our skills further, we joined the Practical MicroEarCare-LIVE  course which includes ongoing support and educational sessions. The content was clear, the diagrams made learning easier and the ongoing support has been invaluable."

Lily Naidoo RN, Ear Nurse, Ear Nursing Ltd

"As a nurse new to otology I found Theresa's course the perfect well-rounded source of education.  She covered everything from basic A&P to the intricacies of the ear. I gained extra tips and tricks for managing difficult scenarios and invaluable advice to pass on to patients. I refined my assessment tools and even gained new instruments that simplify mahi which previously took a bit of time!"
