So going back a few weeks Mom had to have her annual hearing test. Her hearing aids were about five years old so she updated them ….three and a half thousand pounds …… We went the following week and collected them and she was all programmed in…..we were asked to go back in two weeks to see how she was getting on with them and see if anything needed adjusting. Then we got a phone call postponing that appointment. The new appointment was today. So,off we tootled….. We saw yet another audiologist …..why can you never see the same person ….she was very nice and did all the necessary checks ….made a slight adjustment which should help with the television viewing…. She did say to go back if there were any problems ….but hopefully there won’t be any ….. Such a relief to know she can hear better….

I’m so glad they are working well. My dad’s cost $6,000 dollars, but it’s now been seven years and he can’t afford to replace them.

I am profoundly deaf so I feel her pain. That is a lot of money to pay. I remember an ENT surgeon telling me to stick with NHS hearing aids which of course are free. They supply the batteries & tubing as required. It is terribly debilitating & isolating when you cannot hear. I hope she gets on ok with her new aids & they make a difference.

I’m not really sure why Mom has gone privately and not gone through the NHS….. I spent nearly 20 years supporting hearing impaired children at an Infant school ….

Hearing aids do take getting used to.
