Chris B June 6, 2009 at 12:14 pm: For a moderate hearing loss I would stick with the NHS. Private aids cost an arm and a leg and for moderate loss may not make much difference. However, if you are unhappy with the performance of your current NHS BTE aids you should arrange an appointment with the audiologist. They may be able to further fine tune your aids for a better result – be specific with your problem and I'm sure they'll be able to help.
