Big news for the hard of hearing
With recent changes in government rules, a revolution is taking place in the provision of free NHS hearing aids.
Local Primary Care Trusts in England can now accredit high street audiologists such as Specsavers to deliver hearing services on their behalf. This includes your hearing test, hearing aid fitting and aftercare, free.
This revolution will benefit patients across 50% of England by the end of 2012 and the whole of England by December 2013. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have yet to announce whether they will adopt the same approach.
