HC Deb 24 January 1972 vol 829 c350W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the date when his Department commenced its study of head-worn aids for the deaf, and the date on which he expects the study to be published.

Mr. Alison

The study of head-worn hearing aids based on their experimental use by schoolchildren since February, 1969, has been completed and the results justify a continuation of issues. No conclusions have yet been reached on the feasibility of making head-worn aids available to adults through the National Health Service.
