Is Labour Starting To Abolish Democracy...

To anybody who is interested. For many years I have worn NHS aids and bought aids at over £2,000 may be 2 or 3 times so that was £6,000.
I told you recently that the last NHS they gave me put me nuts with it being so unbelievably loud.
I have profound hearing loss but I know myself that now over the years no matter what hearing aid I got - NHS or bought - they do not give me hearing - only amplification which suits me.
I bought an aid on Amazon about a month or two ago (I wear it at night for bed) - it cost me £9 and it does me ok.
The only "bad" thing is it has a dome whereby I always got a mould but I can live with it - ie at night time. The same aid (bought) with a mould during the day does the same thing.
So watch out hearing aid lovers wherever you are.

Moulds are custom made to fit your particular ear and are more visible although they do come in see through these days. There are images of moulds on this site

The audiology department of your hospital is the best place to go for you hearing aids, you must get referred by your doctor. My husband had been going to Specsavers but with not a lot of success as his hearing loss is profound. The hospital provided him with aids which were properly moulded to the shape of his ears
The last hearing aid (digital) from NHS put my head away. I had to go back about 3 times for them to adjust but the sound was incredible (painful).
I resorted to an old analogue hearing aid I found and that is what I wear during the day but as I say I wear £9 one for TV at night.
I will not be buying a £2,000 hearing aid ever again.
