A contact of mine (from #YACF ) has drawn up a webpage as an attempt to explain a few key things about deafness, hearing aids and 'hearing as a deaf person' in the hope it will help deaf and hearing people understand and communicate better and more kindl

https://barakta.org.uk/deaf_tips.shtml

It includes a lot of extremely useful information and advice - give it a read. You don't know when you'll next meet someone with hearing difficulties.

I had a hearing test yesterday - it took over two hours. The audio people have recommended OTICON hearing aids. So I’d like to know if anyone else has them, and what their experience is. The issue with my hearing is inside my head where sounds are transferred into my brain for analysis, rather than where the sounds come in. The aids recommended are little yokes that sit on top of my ear with a thin tube going into my ear canal. The downside is the scary cost.
So if anyone has experience of OTICON in particular, I’d like to read your take.
