Nhs Hearings Aids , technology

[ChrissieMT]

Has the nhs updated the technology available with their hearing aids? They still seems way behind private aids.

Hi, in a nut shell the NHS are using the older technology , you see the odd decent aid but not often, it’s normally what they have and not what you need, but there criteria is to make you hear which they to the main do, but it’s where you here is the important bit, and normally you have to plunge into the private sector.

I have been refused hearing tests because of my age

That doesn't seem right, I am sure that you are as entitled to them whatever your age. Are you really that old! Take it up with someone else, maybe AgeUk if you truly have been refused.
