    Your GP or public health nurse would be good starting points

    Yes, I (personally) know people as young as 8 who had them.

    DO NOT PAY MONEY!!!

    Thats all well and good until your waiting as long as I was!!(2 years for a hearing test)

    Had my appointment and the lady was excellent, she knew her stuff inside out and explained everthing we want to know. It was well worth the few quid and has saved us alot of worrying and hassle.

    Two years is fairly excessive. Where was the test done? When I got mine (in the 80's), I'm not sure how long I waited (it's over two decades ago!).
