Good Morning and firstly I have to apologise for once again starting this thread - yes I've been here before. I have been wearing NHS aids for seveal years now and coping not too badly but not great either. I noticed after a journey back from abroad in June that my left ear seemed a bit odd, couldn't explain properly but I knew it was different. Visited doc and audiology (NHS) who think there is something wrong with my eardrum caused by the flight back from abroad. Long story short I have purcahsed hearing aids from a well known Opticians who also do hearing aids. I got them on Thursday and while I know it will take time for them to settle I am finding them worse (at the moment anyway) than my NHS ones. The background noise is horrendous and my own voice inside by head/throat is practically unbearable. I've checked them out with the Blue tooth programme but makes no difference. It is really getting me so down. I didn't expect miracles after getting private ones but tbh I did think I would notice a big change for the better - it's not the case. Can anyone help/advise?
