New licensee for Ear Health clinic RONNIE SHORT
Lesley Pawley is the new licensee for Ear Health Takaka, which is open on Fridays at Golden Bay’s Community Health Centre. She and her family moved to Golden Bay in 2010 and Lesley has worked at GBHC as a registered nurse since. In August 2019, she took over from the previous Ear Health licensee, Debbie Dalzell, who travelled from Blenheim fortnightly. There are 16 licensees operating throughout New Zealand. Lesley’s is the smallest territory in the country, but she still finds herself busy. Most of her work involves the removal of wax from the ear canal, but education is key to her work. For example, reminding people that cotton buds can pack the wax against the wall of the ear canal, even as far down as the ear drum, and can cause hearing difficulties or a dull ache down into the jaw. She also teaches what can be done to prevent earache during flights, and suggests exercises for helping with Eustachian tube dysfunction. Referrals come to her via GPs and audiologists. Some audiologists prefer their clients to have an ear canal cleanse before a hearing test. Lesley also accepts self-referrals. There is a lot on offer regarding ear health in Golden Bay. A first step is a free service called Life Unlimited, who offer free assessments from the Heartlands office on a regular basis. Bay Audiology is another service that comes to the Healing Centre in Motupipi Street to conduct hearing tests. A hearing-aid cleaning service also visits, for which people can phone Sharon at the health centre to find out dates and costs. Through her work at GBHC, Lesley already knows many of her new ear health clients and is enjoying her new role. “It’s a very satisfying job because I’m increasing people’s quality of life,” she explained. “People come in feeling quite debilitated not being able to hear properly, and leave being able to hear the birds sing.” The Ear Health contact phone number no longer goes through to a call centre. Lesley answers the phone herself or calls people back if she is busy. Phone 525 8327 or book online: www.earhealth.co.nz
