The whole process was professional from start to finish. I was informed of the tyoe of hearing loss that I had and all of my options were explained clearly to me. This assisted me in deciding what type of hearing aid to purchase.
First class service
First class service, the gentleman I saw (John) was welcoming, professional, friendly and informative. Everything explained and choices outlined. Listened to my concerns and doubts and assisted me in resolving them as far as he could. Couldn't have had better service.
I do have to say though, I think the prices for hearing aids are extortionate, 4k for a decent level of hearing is a lot of money. I know with boots from what I have read it seems to be because they are part owned by the manufacturer.
I did also visit another supplier and the same aids were £900 cheaper. However with my blue light card at boots, I am only paying £250 more, which is a lot, but again John instilled me with confidence and I felt that long term I would get a better level of care and service with boots. A great employee you have there, I do hope you value people like him!

Strange meeting with Phil last week
Strange meeting with Phil last week. Had used the recommended hearing aid he supplied without much improvement in hearing. He more or less told me ‘hard luck’ without any alternative offered. No further advice or help, despite me asking to try in ear aids at the previous appointment. I felt as though he could not get rid of me quick enough.
Is this your normal level of service?

Unfortunately I got the above reply on 21 March( 12 days ago) . I have sent my details as requested and Ive had nothing since, so Ive had to drop the review down to one star.
