Susan McCafferty Ear Wax Removal Specialist
HEARING AID DISPENSER
I joined the Hearing Care industry in 2019 and joined Kilmarnock Hearing Care in 2021. I have a keen interest in hearing loss as my family are profoundly deaf, we communicate through sign language so I am fluent in British Sign Language.
I am in my final year at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh to become a Hearing Aid Dispenser. I am certified to carry out ear wax removal with microsuction and have seen and cleared thousands of ears so far.
When not in work and studying, I have a 1 year old little girl who keeps me busy.

Irene ran her own Holistic Therapy Clinic in Prestwick and enjoys looking after people. Patients health and well-being are always at the forefront of every patient she tends to.
Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering with “No One Dies Alone”, a charity close to my heart, which offers companionship and respite for palliative care patients. I am also an active volunteer for the Irvine clean-up crew as a litter picker. I enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures and meeting new people
