Amplifon Hearing Aids

[Giraffe70]

Does anyone have an experience with purchasing hearing aids through this company and of the after service provided?

I have just read an advert in today's Daily Mail which suggests they are particularly good for tinnitus sufferers and they offer a free trial and also a follow up service.

I know from my own experience good quality hearing aids with features tailored to mask tinnitus offer benefits over buck standard hearing aids. I also know they can come at quite a high cost and in the end that may be the deciding factor for this companies.

Thanks in anticipation.

My hearing aids with masker are made by Siemens and were fitted by an audiologist at the Tinnitus clinic in London - at a cost of £4,500 which I could only afford after an inheritance! It would be good to know if there are cheaper alternatives but I have had these, trouble-free for three years now and they are a comfort.

My Nhs hearing aids are perfectly adequate, discreet and free.

I have NHS hearing aids with tinnitus masking feature, I would see if you could get NHS ones before going down the private route.

My NHS hearing aid and NHS maskers are great and have quietened tinnitus. Wouldn't be without them. Angela xx

Did an on line hearing test whilst waiting for a N.H.S. appointment. Next thing I knew they phoned up with an appointment for a hearing test at their local shop. Very aggressive tactics, as I hadn't signed up to that. Personally wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Very satisfied with my n.h.s. hearing aid.

Hello SHAZZZZ

Are you saying I could buy hearing aids of my choice through the NHS? The reason I question is I cannot find any reference to this service on relevant NHS websites.

Thanks
