Hearing aids are provided by the National Health Service, free at the point of need. Local clinical commissioning groups determine the specific routes to access for hearing aids. The ‘Commissioning Services for People with Hearing Loss’ framework published in 2016 brings together evidence, standards, guidance and case studies to encourage the adoption of best practice across hearing loss service commissioners.
