Hearing aids

[jbradford42]

Just picked up my new aids for a trial run a bit smaller the the nhs ones but much more comfortable and they have a setting for T suffering. Like a white noise setting but not cheap though around £1800 you can get them on pay later or DD. I’m pleased to say I’ve got T really loud so I’ll let you all know how I get on. Cheers guys

Have you had NHS aids previously? Be interested to hear from you whether there's any noticeable difference with your new little fellas.

Hi had them for a week free trial and the answer is yes they are much better than the NHS ones the private ones are electronic and have a T setting on them I was just getting used to them but unfortunately they are to expensive for me I suppose that’s life cheers

How you getting on with the hearing aids consideting getting some aids for masking as I don’t have any hearing loss, best

Hi the audiologist says I cannot pick up on high pitched noise so I have them for that. So not sure about if you have no hearing problems but the private ones are a hell of a lot better than The NHS plus they have a setting for T like white noise and so on I’ve had them for a week now and I was willing to pay the £1800 but unfortunately I can’t afford them I even tried DD but not got no credit history so I’m really disappointed but it’s back to The NHS ones I’m afraid sorry I cannot write anymore as the keys are covering what I’m waiting when I use this app but the answer is yes go to your local Amplifon they are quite good the number is 08009227905for a free trial

All NHS aids are digital (electronic?) these days, so there shouldn't be much difference - regardless of what Amplifon might try to sell you. The key word there is 'sell' - they're not going to tell you the NHS ones are just as good as theirs, are they?

I have a (small BTE) NHS hearing aid that has a T setting. It plays a white noise, but I can also use that setting to play any distraction noise through the aid from my iPhone. This was a welcome upgrade from my standard NHS aid and wouldn’t be without it.
