Hospitals clear hearing aid waiting lists - Preston and Leyland Citizen 1st March 2008

Hospitals in Chorley and Preston have cleared waiting lists a month ahead of schedule and fitted more than 12,000 hearing aids. It's part of a half-a-million pound initiative to upgrade old analogue aids with a modern digital piece. The new digital aids fit behind the ear and look very similar to the sets they are replacing but can process sound better, are specifically set to compensate individual hearing needs and are more reliable.
