Hearing aids

    I have NHS ones Sum1. The left ear is still troublesome. The right aid is great. I'll have to go back & have it rectified. The nurse examined my ears 1st at my docs then I was referred to our Audiology Clinic.

    The actual part that fits into your ear is a tiny cone shape that you can't see. It's attached by a fine clear tube to the part that sits behind your ear. They are digitally controlled when you are fitted with them. I can't change the volume of mine as it's all on computer back at the clinic. You start off basic but can add or reduce certain functions. For example I could have 'the loop system' added if I'd like. In places where they have the system like some Churches it recognises it & adjusts accordingly.

    They are good as they both have different volume, according to the hearing loss. For example I am more deaf in my left ear than my right ear. I chose silver aids by the way. You can't see them at all. I've always been matter-of-fact about them. After all I wear glasses.

    Good luck.

      I forgot to say you can adjust them, including a 'forwards only' setting for noisy parties (I go to lots of those!), theatre, cinema, church, concerts - anywhere where you need to concentrate on the sound in front of you and want to fade out other sounds. My OH is very good at adjusting his - I tend to forget and then can't remember what the audio prompt sounds stand for! I need more practice.

        I can adjust my aids with an app on my phone. The chap at Specsavers put it on for me.

          GJ what a fabulous app to have on your fone. Wish I could do that.

            It sounds very clever!
