Well I have a hearing aid and have NHS ones. The digital ones are OK , but do not completely hide in the ear,,I also used Boots who have audio centres in their larger stores. I found their testing very good. The very expensive aids do not work any better than the medium priced ones but are the inconspicuous sort so you pay a lot more money for cosmetic or vanity reasons. You have to accept you are hard of hearing and need an aid , It is your choice an aid that works well and costs say £500 but is a bit bulky behind the ear type or a completely hidden in the ear type,that works exactly the same but costs £2000 . the choice is yours.If you opt for the cheaper you might as well get an NHS digital model.They work just as well as the private £500 ones.
