Do you provide Invisible Hearing Aids, Rechargeable Hearing Aids or Bluetooth Hearing Aids?
NHS hearing aids are not invisible but recently they have become much smaller and are considered to be discreet. (Our private practice is able to advise on fully invisible hearing aids.) Similarly, the NHS hearing aids are not rechargeable (,this is also only a feature of private hearing aids. We are glad to announce that Bluetooth hearing aids are now available on the NHS ! They have the ability to stream with smartphones, Tablets, laptops, TV and more. Smartphone Apps can be used to control these models.
Are Private Hearing Aids Better Than NHS Hearing Aids?
The top hearing aid manufacturers keep their latest hearing aid technology for the private market. They only provide older technology to the NHS market (typically 6+ year old technology). Consequently, there are more options available in the private market. All private hearing aids are available from us on a 60-day trial with 100% money-back guarantee. Please note - we cannot discuss private hearing aids during an NHS appointment, so kindly make a separate appointment for private enquiries. We usually encourage all patients to use NHS hearing aids before they trial and compare with private hearing aids.
To discuss NHS and private options, or to book an appointment please call us on 020 8059 9645.
