    Hi @Jazzguitar, did you manage to speak to your GP as people suggested on your other post? Your GP will be the best person to assess your hearing and put you in touch with the right services for a hearing aid! Good luck :)

    Your GP will refer you for a hearing test. You might have 1 or you could get the 2 aids
    The hospitsl will give you a load of batteries and advise you to go see them every 6 months.
    Plrase clean your aids properly
     If they are full of wax you.wont hear to well

    Hi @Jazzguitar, did you manage to speak to your GP? They should be able to help you and see if you need a hearing test/hearing aids. :)

    What about going somewhere like Specsavers (for a hearing test), is there any reason why a person shouldn't?
