Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids

Sit behind the ear with a small tube or wire to the ear, suiting a wide range of hearing loss levels and often easier to handle and adjust.

In-the-ear (ITE) & in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids

Smaller and more discreet, fitting partly or fully within the ear, though they may have more limited controls due to their size.

Personal sound amplifiers

Designed to boost general sound levels rather than target specific hearing loss, and aren't a substitute for a properly assessed and fitted hearing aid.

Comfort, range and independence

Buying guide

How to choose the right hearing aid

A few key steps will help you find a hearing aid that's properly suited to your hearing and lifestyle.

1

Get a hearing assessment

Speak to an audiologist or your GP to understand the type and level of your hearing loss before choosing a hearing aid.

2

Consider the style

Behind-the-ear, in-the-ear and smaller in-canal styles each suit different levels of hearing loss, comfort and dexterity, so think about what works best for you.

3

Think about the features you need

Consider whether you'd benefit from rechargeable batteries, multiple listening programs, or extra features like noise reduction.

4

Check aftercare and support

Look into what fitting adjustments, warranty cover and ongoing support are available, as hearing aids often benefit from fine-tuning after initial use.

Common questions

Hearing aids: your questions answered

Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about hearing aids.

What's the difference between a hearing aid and a sound amplifier?

A hearing aid is calibrated to a person's specific hearing loss, usually following a hearing test, to amplify the particular sounds and frequencies they find hardest to hear. A general sound amplifier simply boosts all sound evenly and isn't tailored to an individual's hearing profile.

Do I need a hearing test before buying a hearing aid?

It's recommended to have a hearing test with an audiologist before choosing a hearing aid, so the type and level of your hearing loss can be properly assessed. Some hearing aids are designed to be self-fitted, but a professional assessment still helps ensure you choose the right device for your needs.

Can I get hearing aids on the NHS?

Yes, the NHS provides hearing aids free of charge following a referral and assessment by an audiologist, though waiting times and the choice of devices available can vary by area. Buying privately is an alternative if you'd like a wider choice of styles or features, or a faster turnaround.

How do I look after and maintain my hearing aid?

Keep your hearing aid clean and dry, store it safely when not in use, and change or charge the battery as needed. It's best to follow the manufacturer's specific care instructions, as cleaning methods can vary between models.

Am I eligible for VAT relief on hearing aids?

If you have a disability or a long-term illness, you may qualify for VAT relief on eligible hearing aids. This usually involves completing a simple eligibility declaration at checkout, with the VAT removed at the point of sale.
