Had a hearing screening at Specsavers and it shows mild/moderate hearing loss.
They showed me a price list ranging from standard to elite with varying prices. I haven't got a clue.
Is specsavers best place to go or somewhere else?

It took me a couple of years to be happy with my NHS hearing aid. Initially I was given one which was big and I have a small face.After a number of requests and complaining that my friend had had a slim one from Bangor I was eventually given a smaller one. The first one also had a tinnitus masker, which I never used as it just gave a different noise.Umpteen adjustments later, it's great.
