I would endorse Boots for good service and helpful and what seem like knowledgeable audiologists. I say ‘seem’ because I have limited experience of audilogy services. My hearing loss is very different to yours - almost normal but significant symptoms that are typical of auditory processing disorder.
I went to the Boots branch in Islington and saw Zainab who was very thorough and ended up with Pnonak Lumiety 90’s and a Roger On in Version 2 that has definitely helped. I had multiple visits and nothing seemed like too much trouble and there was not pressure to buy - the recommendation was that may or may not benefit - which is why the 3 month trial offer is so helpful.
Zainab was very knowlegeable about the product and also interested in my condition. I found some additional research that indicated that the configuration that I ended up with had helped a significant number of people with APD and she wanted details so that she could read and share with colleagues.
And has been indicated, the pricing is also good. I checked out one other independent audiologist and had a phone consultation and didn’t think that I got any better advice and the prices were a lot higher.
