Booking online from the Google Maps listing
Follow the website link on the map
When the Google Maps business card contains a "Website" button, click it to open Hearing First Muswell Hill's booking page in your browser. The online booking portal typically shows available microsuction appointment times, treatment duration, and the fee for private ear wax removal.

Microsuction Versus Ear Syringing
Microsuction is a targeted procedure that uses a fine suction probe under a microscope, it reduces risk to the ear canal and eardrum compared with traditional ear syringing. Reported complications from syringing include infection, tinnitus and perforation, which is why many practices favour microsuction.
Private clinics often offer shorter waits than NHS services, so if symptoms are affecting hearing or causing discomfort, booking privately can resolve a wax blockage quickly. The clinic team will assess the ear, discuss prior attempts at removal and advise on follow up care.
Phone booking and calling from the Google Maps profile
When to call instead of booking online
Call the number shown on the Google Maps listing if you have urgent symptoms, need advice about ear pain, suspect an ear infection or require assistance with mobility access. Speaking with the reception team provides immediate answers about availability, clinician qualifications and whether your chosen appointment is suitable for assisted hearing aid users. Telephone booking is useful when online slots are not visible or when you require same-day advice, for example if a child is distressed by an ear blockage. The clinic phone line can also advise on which entrance to use at Cootes Pharmacy, the nearest drop off point for taxis and whether there is a ramp for wheelchair access.
What to have ready for the call
Prepare your full name, a brief symptom summary, preferred dates and any accessibility needs. If you have a hearing aid, tell the team so they can allocate appropriate time. Ask for the clinician's professional registration, the expected procedure duration and whether a follow up check is included. Note the exact wording the clinic uses on the map profile to confirm this is private microsuction and not a routine GP ear syringing service.

Confirming clinician credentials and procedure details
Microsuction is a specialist technique carried out under binocular magnification by trained clinicians, often audiologists or ENT-trained practitioners. When you view the clinic on Google Maps, look for staff qualifications, professional body membership such as the British Academy of Audiology or HCPC registration, and any photographs of the treatment room and microscope. A reputable private clinic will state that microsuction uses a fine suction probe and microscope to remove earwax gently, without water irrigation, and will list potential side effects and contraindications. If the Maps listing links to a staff page, read the clinician bios to ensure experience in ear wax removal, paediatric care or complex wax cases. Asking about sterile single-use disposable tips and infection control measures gives extra reassurance about safety and cleanliness.

How to interpret Google Maps reviews for microsuction services
Google Maps reviews can offer valuable insight: prioritise recent comments that specifically mention microsuction, the name Hearing First, the Muswell Hill clinic or the N2 postcode. Look for reviews that describe booking experience, punctuality, the clarity of the clinician's explanation and whether the patient felt comfortable during the procedure. Pay attention to recurring themes, such as consistent praise for gentle technique or criticisms about waiting times, but remember that a handful of negative reviews does not necessarily reflect overall quality. Use reviews alongside the clinic's website and professional credentials to make an informed decision. If multiple reviewers mention helpful directions from Google Maps, that indicates the map pin and address are accurate.

Comparing private microsuction to NHS options on Google Maps
Many patients compare private Muswell Hill clinics with NHS services when searching on Google Maps because waiting times on the NHS can be lengthy for micro suction. Private clinics often advertise immediate availability on their Maps listing and website, along with transparent fees and clinician qualifications. If you need urgent relief from hearing loss due to wax impaction, private microsuction can be booked more quickly, typically with a concise assessment and same-day removal in some cases. When reading Google Maps entries, look for clinics that explicitly state they use microscope-led microsuction, list the clinician's training and offer clear post-treatment advice. Confirm whether a follow up check is included in the price, and always keep a copy of any receipts or notes given at the clinic for future reference with your GP or audiologist.
Microsuction vs. Ear Syringing
Many people in North London are finding that their local GP surgery no longer offers ear syringing. No doubt this is partly due to a lack of funding, but also because ear syringing is inherently less safe than ear micro suction. Possible side effects of ear syringing or irrigation are ear infection, hearing loss, tinnitus, perforation of the ear drum, and further impaction of the ear wax (i.e. the ear wax gets pushed even harder against the ear drum). Is it any wonder that people are going off walk in ear syringing in London and are seeking out microsuction ear wax removal instead? Unfortunately, the sharp rise in demand has meant that NHS micro suction clinics are now unable to meet the need and waiting times are often over two to three months.
You no longer need to wait months for micro suction. Why not save time by going private? It’s not as expensive as you think. Simply head to our booking page and you could be saying goodbye to your wax blockage this week!

What to do on the day of your appointment
On arrival at the Muswell Hill clinic follow the Google Maps directions to the pin, enter via Cootes Pharmacy and check in at reception. The clinician will take a short history, inspect your ears with an otoscope and discuss the safest method for removal. For microsuction they will position a microscope or magnifier and use a small suction probe to remove wax gently, while explaining each step. You may be asked to sit upright and keep still for a short period; the whole appointment is usually swift and well tolerated. After the procedure the clinician will confirm your hearing improvement and give written aftercare advice, including signs of infection to watch for and guidance on preventing future impaction. If you experience pain, dizziness or worsening hearing following the appointment, ring the clinic or your GP immediately for advice and possible follow up.

Step checklist to prepare before booking via Google Maps
- Confirm the exact business name and address on Google Maps (for example, Hearing First Muswell Hill, 166-168 High Road N2 9AS) to avoid booking at the wrong location and to ensure the microsuction service is offered at the stated premises.
- Check opening hours and specific clinic days listed on the profile and the booking page, because some practices run microsuction only on certain days and booking systems may not display off-site clinics.
- Read recent reviews for comments about clinician professionalism, punctuality and whether the microsuction technique was used, as opposed to ear syringing or irrigation, which some patients prefer to avoid.
- Prepare any medical history, including ear surgery, perforation history or bleeding disorders, and inform the clinic during booking since these conditions may alter suitability for microsuction and might require ENT referral.
- Decide on payment method before arrival, ask whether cards are accepted, whether there is a deposit or cancellation fee and whether receipts will list clinician details for potential insurance or employer reimbursement.

Common questions answered when booking on Google Maps
Typical queries and concise responses
Patients commonly ask: how long does microsuction take, is it painful, can children have it and will it affect hearing aids. A typical microsuction appointment lasts 15 to 30 minutes and is usually described as comfortable rather than painful, though mild pressure or brief discomfort can occur. Children can often have microsuction but the clinician will assess cooperation and safety; in some cases a paediatric-trained practitioner or sedation referral may be recommended. Hearing aids are usually removed prior to the procedure and rechecked afterwards if required. If you have a perforated eardrum or a history of ear surgery, mention it when booking via Google
