| Annotation | The full range of analogue hearing aids in the current NHS range should be available at NHS audiology centres. At present there is insufficient robust scientific evidence to support the nationwide introduction of digital hearing aids. This document outlines clinical need and practice, the technology, evidence, implications for the NHS, further research, implementation, and clinical audit advice. Appendix C - Patient information - is designed to support production of information leaflets. It explains hearing impairment, where hearing aid technology fits in, and what NICE recommend about the use of hearing aids. This guidance represents the views of the Institute's Appraisal Committee, which was arrived at after careful consideration of the available evidence. The guidance will be reviewed in July 2002.
