NHS hearing aids are not invisible. Our private practice is able to dispense invisible hearing aids. Please call on 020 8059 9645 to discuss further. Similarly, the NHS hearing aids are not rechargeable and do not have ability to stream via bluetooth directly to smartphones and TV etc. For these systems please call us to discuss options on the private market, or to book a private appointment. All private hearing aids are available from us on a 60-day trial with 100% money-back guarantee.
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. Call us to discuss private options or to book a private appointment on 020 8059 9645.
