Hearing aid test and aids at Specsavers (UK)

I don’t believe Boots Hearing Care does NHS referrals @LRav… Although, I could be wrong, I have had many discussions with one of their Audiologists, and that subject was never brought up… I can’t comment on Specsavers, as I have only been there for glasses in the past, but I have read they will take referrals from the NHS for folks whom need hearing aids? Boots will let you pay a 10% deposit on new aids, and pay the rest up over 2 years, that used to be interest free, but after the last couple of years of high inflation, they changed that policy to around 11% interest, I believe? Personally, I would far rather pay for my own aids, not that I am rich or anything like it, but you get premium aids, basically appointments, as and when required, you are not waiting months on end… And you get to choose your aids! I have bought 3 sets of aids from Boots, over perhaps 5 or 6 years, the first & second set, I paid up, interest free, the 3rd set, I saved up, prior to getting my Phonak Lumity Naida 90 UP BTE’s, in a couple of years, I will probably have saved enough for the next iteration of the Naida’s… Good Luck @bertybasset39.
