tony13579 Posted 18 September, 2013 Posted 18 September, 2013 Can any one recommend a hearing aid shop for the father in law in the Shirley area of Southampton Also what sort of budget price should we expect. Thanks Tony
bridge too far Posted 18 September, 2013 Posted 18 September, 2013 Does this link help (not with the local shop obviously but with NHS help) http://www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/894.aspx?categoryid=68
boxosponge Posted 18 September, 2013 Posted 18 September, 2013 Don't touch a hearing aid shop unlessx you like wasting several hundreds of pounds.them. See your GP and go NHS. Absolutely brilliant
Smirking_Saint Posted 18 September, 2013 Posted 18 September, 2013 Nearly half past eight. Yes thanks had a stir fry
tony13579 Posted 19 September, 2013 Author Posted 19 September, 2013 We were heading down the Nhs route However as he has significant sums in the bank and more coming in than he can spend I wanted to know the options. I thought that if he could hear what we were saying more I might not have to repeat myself so much I thought that if he could hear what we were saying more I might not have to repeat myself so much I thought that if he could hear what we were saying more I might not have to repeat myself so much
Viking Warrior Posted 19 September, 2013 Posted 19 September, 2013 Tony nhs route is best and they can regularly re calibrate them and fix them if needed with no extra cost . Oh and they have digital aids as well . Now what was it you said . I'm not good at lip reading
tony13579 Posted 19 September, 2013 Author Posted 19 September, 2013 We will give the NHS route a chance. However it's got a bit serious as he's taking all the wrong meds because he didn't hear the instructions and he broke 2 bones dodging traffic he didn't hear. His GP is now on side. Thanks.

tony13579 Posted 19 December, 2013 Author Posted 19 December, 2013 Well, three months later he has finally got his hearing aids. He is adjusting to them. They are already a great improvement and quite discrete. He has managed not to get run over in the mean time. I am resting my voice now! ;-)
Whitey Grandad Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Well done, I'm pleased for both of you. My mum has just turned 94 and is very hard of hearing but we can still talk on the phone. At least, she talks at me.
