Hi Gail, Thanks for getting in touch. We are working on getting a more targeted hearing aid available on the NHS, but this is a lengthy process! You can read more about this hearing aid on page 7 of our Ataxia Magazine issue 198 here: www.ataxia.org.uk/Pages/News/Category/ataxia-magazine If you have any other queries, please do get in touch at [e-mail]! Many thanks, Steph
