it cant be too hard - there's only 3 buttons and 2 of them are vol up/down!

Have you got the BeMore app on your phone? You can turn Bluetooth off with that 

where in the app>?

 

Audiology in my area has been outsourced...for my town, it's Specsavers. I know three different people who have had hearing tests/aids from Specsavers and all three have been really pleased with both the service offered and the aids themselves. There was little delay in getting an appointment with them a few weeks ago.

I have two NHS hearing aids, they are very good, batteries are free from doctors surgery.  They check my hearing every three years as well.

Thanks everyone I'll persevere with my NHS ones for now but they don't always work very well

How long have you had them?

@14.47...If they are recently aquired, presumably they have been pre-programmed for different modes eg general use, hear in noise (eg restaurants),outdoor, music,hearing loop etc. Change modes on the small top button (one beep, two beeps etc) or via the BeMore app, on which you can personalise sound, access Bluetooth, reduce wind noise, get noise reduction etc.

//Depending on your level of deafness, you may find the NHS aids may not suit you as they don't carer for the extremely deaf.//

Have to disagree with that.  My daughter is profoundly deaf, from birth, has virtually nothing but the NHS digital aids do work.

//NHS provides the same brands but not the latest models//

Not true either, same daughter was give £2K ones.

nhs aids are as good as any you can buy.my nhs ones are in a docking station ,wear them all day recharge them at night.even have bluetooth

Ginge , none of that was mentioned when I got them in November.   I don't know what the make is, I got them from Specsavers.   I'll have to find the instructions
