Hearing aid centres

Hi anyone can recommend the best but not expensive places?

Regards.Pete.

I would recommend Tom at Protea? Digital hearing. My dad got hearing aids for the first time from Tom and is over the moon with them. They do diffent price ranges, dad got ones in the middle bracket which I think was 1999.00. Have a word with Tom, he's such a nice man. They are in that small centre up the ramp from Quesada fish n chips where the Rolling pin is.

They sell hearing aids on Amazon or you can get them on the NHS IN SPAIN

Agree with Chrisdee Protea are excellent.

If you require hearing aids you need to have a mould made to fit in your ear. If they don’t fit properly, you will get feedback. Constant whistling which will annoy not just you but everyone around you..
I trialled some a few years ago, thought why pay 2k when you can buy from a magazine for a quarter of the price. Drove me crazy and after two days I sent them back.

Tom at Protea…is excellent!! Hearing aids bought on the net do not fit properly! They need to be moulded to fit your own ear.

That’s not 100% true it depends what style of hearing aids you go for, if you are having the ones that are invisible and fit snugly in your ear then yes you need a mould making.
I had that choice but thought they might fall out and for a decent pair your talking in the region of £2000 per ear, so I went for the small over the ear ones which are nearly invisible.
I would not recommend buying them on line, because you need the audiologist to fine tune them to each individual ear and buying from a specialist like boots or equivalent you will get a life time service agreement which you need because your hearing normally changes over time and your aids will need tweaking.
And remember hearing aids are what they say, they are an aid to help you hear better not a miracle cure to your hearing.

Thank you folks will. Give them a try.

My dad's are decent, infact, excellent , rechargeable too and cost 1999 a pair. When first fitted Tom did the level of sound something like 40% as said at first 100% would be far too loud to cope with, then after a month tweeted them up to 60% and I think at the moment they are around 90% and dad hears every little whisper.

Yes, Tom and his team at Protea are Excellent very patient & helpfully.
