    If you have a medical card I would recommend getting in touch with the HSE

    No medical card. I imagine you'd be waiting a few years for a HSE app

    Hi Lily, I have been wearing Hearing aids for around 12 years.

    I usually upgrade mine every 4 years when the PRSI grant regenerates. I upgraded to the Oticon OPN S1 hearing aids this year and they are the best I have ever worn. I use the app to control the programmes and volume which is necessary in certain situation ie background noise. But these are the best performing aids in background noise situations that I have ever worn. Yes there will be times where I may still miss a word or two but so will people with normal hearing.

    Feedback was an issue in the past as I have moderate/severe high frequency loss in both ears but the feedback manager on the S1’s is the best I have had.

    If you need anymore info let me know.
