Thanks for the link.
Something for me to look in to as I've been meaning to get hearing aids for some time now but covid meant that I'd rather steer clear of people so I kept putting it off.
I've had the audiology checks done and I'm completely deaf in my left ear and have severe hearing loss in my right ear. I have severe tinnitus as well, in my deaf ear ironically. TV volume is not an issue as I have subtitles switched on but, if I try to listen to it, I hear just a load of mumbling. It's impossible for me to have a conversation with someone if somebody loud is close by, so I just get labelled as ignorant if I can't communicate.
I expected to pay around £3K anyway so it's something worth looking at, before my Mrs stabs me to death for ignoring her.
