‘Hi-tech’ hearing aids are also available on the NHS | Letters
The article discusses the availability of "hi-tech" hearing aids on the NHS (National Health Service) in the UK. While the author acknowledges that the latest models of hearing aids may only be available privately, they argue that the NHS provides standard issue hearing aids that connect to smartphones. The article suggests that the impression of poor NHS provision of hearing aids, as portrayed in a previous article, may be misleading. It notes that the upgrades between the latest private and NHS-provided hearing aids are often minimal, implying that the NHS offers a reasonable level of service for those in need of hearing aids.
