Relative bad hearing

restive · 2018-04-26 20:08:55

I have a relative in his late seventies with very bad hearing. What exactly are the first steps in getting him a hearing aid. Does he need a referral from a doctor? or do we just walk into some where like specsavers? Do all opticians also do hearing aids?
