the main problem with hearing aids is that you can no longer select what you want to hear. Some can cancel out background noise but that's not the same as tuning in to what you want to hear in a crowd
True @B3. What I find very annoying is the intermittant buzz I get when I'm travelling in a car. I don't know if I'm getting a pulse from somebody's Bluetooth or the aliens are trying to tell me they're coming. There's no rhyme or reason for it.
NannyBeach I'm not saying that all NHS aids are like the ones I was offered a good few years ago. They had a lot of clear plastic which sat inside the ear and was very visible. The modern ones are pretty discreet, small bit behind the ear with a very small plastic tube which fits inside the ear connected to the "microphone". My friends who have them are very pleased with them and they're certainly not obvious to anyone who doesn't know they're there. If I didn't have my very expensive private ones, I'd be more than happy to have the modern NHS ones.
I just rang my 94 , year old cousin,who has hearing aids and doesn't "need" them it's an absolute nightmare. When I see her,if she doesn't like something you have said,she just conveniently says she can't hear you when you know she actually has!!
I wear hearing aids from NHS. Everything free like other comments. But agree a pain with covid mask on, when you take it off, gets tangled in the ear loops.

I put elastic so it goes round the back of my head rather than on my ears. Glasses,hearing aids and a mask are just too much for my ears !
