OUR SERVICES

OUR EXPERT SERVICES

Kernow ear Health is all about providing the most expert and experienced ear wax removal at the very best price. Not only do we perform modern micro-suction we also provide expert advice on hearing and ear care.

Our fees reflect our ethos of fairness and value: if you don't need any wax removed then you don't pay for any wax removal, if you only need one ear cleared then you only pay for one ear (many others charge the full amount regardless of your need)! Furthermore, if you need to return to have the job completed (let's suppose the wax build-up is so significant that it couldn't be done in one visit), then any follow-up visits are free (you only pay once for the job to be completed where other providers charge for return visits).

Each visit has a small £15 base charge (applies only to new patients and existing patients who attend an appointment but do not require treatment). This covers the consultation (examination of the ears) and expert advice. We are not affiliated with any hearing aid company or any audiology service provider, so the advice you get is completely open, honest, and unbiased.

Zoe Tayler - Registered Nurse

I have been a qualified nurse since 1987, having trained and qualified in Bath and practicing in Somerset and Herefordshire. In 2006 I moved to New Zealand with my two young children, working as a practice nurse in Waikanae. While in the role I developed a passion for ear health and trained to do microsuctioning. I went on to establish a very successful clinic in the practice and trained several other nurses in the same role. Subsequently, I set up my own thriving ear microsuction business covering the whole Wellington region, and had contracts with large nursing homes around the area.

I moved back to England in 2016, settling in St Columb Cornwall. After allowing time to adapt to a new life in this beautiful part of the world, I decided to set up my own business once again. I am pleased to be able to offer this service to the community and look forward to meeting everyone.

Bridget Ball - Registered Nurse

I have been a registered general nurse since 1984, having trained and qualified at RCH Treliske Truro and spent the last 35 years in General Practice. My speciality there was mainly Diabetes/Insulin management, Hypertension/Heart Disease Women's Health plus other roles in Immunisation and Vaccinations and ear irrigation. My latter years I was a Senior Nurse and undertook training to become a Mentor for student nurses and new colleagues. Since January 2021 I have diversified to become a Micro suction and Ear Health Care Nurse of which I have received training in this field.


I originate from Liskeard having spent my early childhood living at Darite before moving to Wadebridge/Bodmin area.


I have many interest and hobbies and like to keep fit and active, attending Pilates classes walking my dogs and helping out on our farm. I am an avid gardener, growing many herbaceous plants and shrubs plus separate vegetable plots and fruit garden.


My other hobbies include patchwork/sewing crochet and knitting.


I look forward to meeting you to provide ear wax removal and general advice on ear health either at the St.Columb clinic when I am available on Mondays, Thursdays, and alternate Saturday mornings or at the new location for our Liskeard clinic at Caradon Physio and Wellness Centre on Tuesdays.

Emma Roberts - Registered Nurse

I qualified as a registered nurse in 2010, beginning my career at the Royal Cornwall Hospital on the Gastro and Liver Unit. After a couple of years, I sought experience in other trusts and moved to Birmingham, where I worked in the largest critical care unit in Europe—a 100-bed facility. It was there that I discovered my passion for critical care nursing while enjoying the social city life.   

               
A few years later, personal circumstances brought me to Cambridge, where I joined Addenbrooke’s Emergency Department. Although I enjoyed my time there, after a year, I realized I missed both living in Cornwall and working in critical care. I returned home and have since worked at Royal Cornwall Hospital for the past eight years, progressing to Senior Staff Nurse in the Critical Care Unit—a role I absolutely love.

 

Living in Cornwall allows my family and me to enjoy the lifestyle we cherish: beach days, walks, and being close to our loved ones. In 2022, I welcomed my daughter and transitioned to part-time work to balance my time with her. As I looked to increase my hours, Zoe offered me a fantastic opportunity to join Kernow Ear Health. I’m excited to take on the Threemilestone Clinic and look forward to meeting both new and returning clients.

Wendy Ring - Registered Nurse

I am a retired registered nurse and midwife, having commenced my nursing career in 1979. I trained and qualified as an Orthopaedic Nurse, Registered General Nurse and Registered Midwife.


I have had a varied career and my final position was a regional senior post working within screening quality assurance for Public Health England.

In my spare time I enjoy crafting, reading and especially enjoy spending time with my family.


I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to become part of the team at Kernow Ear Health. I have received training from Zoe to enable me to become an ear microsuction practitioner.

Jane Bryant - Receptionist/Office Manager

I joined Zoe at Kernow Ear Health in January 2020, after working many years in local Pharmacy at Boots here in St Columb Major.


I have lived in the area for some 30 years so I'm a local maid!
My role as Receptionist keeps me busy taking calls and scheduling appointments for our lovely patients plus sorting any queries which sometimes arise. Always here to help with a smile on my face!


In my spare time I enjoy many things, but my main passion is travel. I have been fortunate to have experienced some wonderful adventures in many countries with my family and friends.


Of course, I'm always happy spending time with my expanding family and our dear little grandchildren!


I absolutely love my job role, supporting Zoe, Bridget and Emma and look forward to welcoming you into our clinic.

Regards
