Whilst acknowledging the above are a necessity for my OH I have to say they are the bane of my life. They are either lost or not working.
The ones he favours are really on their last legs and a decision needs to be made. These ones came from the high street opticians with the funny adverts - hope you know who I mean. However, they are difficult to maintain especially as he now has a slight tremor. They go behind ear with tiny tube going into ear. Much cleaning and changing of parts involved.
He did try some button ones free from NHS but he has very small ear opening and they were always falling out. Can we go back and ask for different ones?
So before we go to SS tomorrow I would love to hear everyone else's experiences. I'm hoping there is something else out there which will suit OH better. He does have big padded earphones connected to the TV and I know these work well because he laughs in the right places and it is so important that he stays connected.
Thanking you all in anticipation (as I used to say at the end of letters).
