Our Surfer’s Ear treatment is significantly less expensive, and minimally invasive compared to treatment available in many other countries. It is the new unique minimally invasive surgery, offering fewer side-effects and the quickest recovery.

After you send us a video of your ears, we will have one of our ENT doctors confirm the diagnosis remotely and then contact you for a ‘telemedicine’ consultation… 

If you decide you want to go ahead, we make it as easy as possible for you by doing all the local arrangements for you – you do not need to organize anything on your own other than your flights. 

As soon as you arrive in Cape Town, our team will meet you at the airport and drive you to your booked accommodation. You can of course look for your own accommodation, but we recommend one of our beautiful apartments directly on the beach, just around the corner from our Kitesurfing Villa and only 20 minutes to the city. There you can settle in to a relaxed atmosphere and explore the area. The next day you will start with your personal kitesurfing course. If you are a kitesurfer, you will take part in our Wave Kitesurfing Courses for one week. If you are a surfer or do any other water sport, we will teach you everything you need to know about kitesurfing in our Beginner Kitesurfing Course. We have a >90% success rate to make our students real kitesurfers and are world leaders in teaching this sport, so you are in good hands with us! 

The operation is scheduled for the second week of your stay, with the goal of allowing you to get back to your sport fully recovered within three weeks. The procedure is quick, easy and uncomplicated. 

You will return to your accommodation the same day of the surgery. Discomfort in the early days is minimal, and for which the doctor will give you additional medication. You can start your sightseeing journey as early as the very next day. 

We have prepared an exciting and multifaceted program for you so that you can see as much of Cape Town as possible. You will get to know the diversity of this city by visiting the beaches and mountains, getting close to the wildlife and learning about the history and culture. 

After two or three days our doctor will have a look at your ears again for a follow-up check.  After two weeks not only will you have seen and experienced everything there is to see here, but you will be near to being fully recovered. On your last day, we will of course drive you to the airport again. As soon as you are at home, you are ready to go into the water again wearing earplugs.
