I had an appointment for this today. I wanted to find out if there was a more technologically advanced set of in-ear hearing aids on the market than the ones I have had for two years. Instead of which I got a sales talk on why I should have out-of-the-ear aids (they don't muffle sounds like in-ear ones, she said). This despite me explaining I had already tried out-of-the-ear and did not get on with them. She persisted, I resisted. She said have a hearing test anyway and try our new in-the-ear aids. I said no thanks, I obviously have nothing to gain here so I'm off. I had to practically fight my way out of the door.

For anyone living in London and able to spend a lot the Musicians Hearing center in Harley Street are the absolute best. Hearing test and advice free and 40 days to see if the aids are good for you. Fully returnable if you're not happy

Scrivens hearing centres also do a 6 week trial period for their private hearing aids.
No quibble return if they don't suit for whatever reason and full refund of any money already paid.
