I had to wait due to the NHS waiting list. It took a further 3 months before a Grommets operation. It took a further 5 months before receiving a hearing aid

I had a hearing test some 5 years before another hospital did the same test. The first one said something wasn't quite right and they left it at that. The secdond hospital not only diagnosed me with age related hearing loss, but I saw a ENT Dr and was given 2 hearing aids. But both tests were only done because I was there to have wax removed.
