Spoke to Malissa $90 for first appointment $250 for 1 or $290 for 2 second hand hearing aids. If I'm elegable

Eligibility seems to be only there I need to be referred by a hospital ????? 3:45 pm 1/4/22 spoke to LeeAnne, said she only Nurse in ENT she said will pass on my request to Cameron Craig ??? On Monday for him to ring me about getting a letter from him re ok for UQ to do a ear mold on my left ear because it has a lump in it.

Appently in not eligible for PA hospital their hearing aid bank have to be on a pension or a health care card. Could not answer that if on one of those benefits could get a free hearing aid new from government why would they want a second hand one
