Depending on your needs.
If you don't want the government issued ones you can use that money towards better ones.

Thank you for your replies cheers.

Had my appointment and must say I have been happy with my original aids purchased over 3 years ago. Was not a pensioner so with private heath rebate still cost me near $2k.

With the pension I get the government ones for free which my bloke told me are several levels above my current ones. They are also digital and wireless so he can connect my phone for incoming and out calls.

Seems a good deal, they all so have a add on where for $53.45 you get all your batteries for a year and insurance for your aids if you loose them or they are damaged.

Overall happy with this mornings appointment. Cheers Robert

Robert,
I just got my letter of approval to engage with a provider to get hearing aids.
Looking forward to it.

It is my first Robert.
I have difficulty in group environments and people with soft voices and poor diction.
I often guess what they say. This results in much humour.
