Product Information

If you do not mind paying for treatment, you can choose to go to a private hearing aid provider directly. This information sheet from the Audiology team at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) explains how you can help your child to manage sensory sensitivity so wearing hearing devices becomes easier with time. A middle ear implant (MEI) may be an option if you cannot use a regular hearing aid – for example, because you're allergic to the materials they're made from or they do not fit in your ear correctly. It can be challenging for some parents and carers of deaf and hearing-impaired children and young people, especially those with additional and complex needs, to get them to accept their hearing devices. This includes behind-the-ear hearing aids, bone anchored hearing aids and cochlear implants. The earlier you get them, the more you'll get out of them – so do not wait until your hearing gets really bad before seeing a GP. Benefits of hearing aids
