Is not my hon. Friend aware that, while the Medresco aid has helped large numbers of deaf people and that the new hearing aid envisaged will help many more, there is still a significant number of the deaf who, through no fault of their own, cannot use these hearing aids? Is is fair that these people should have to supply themselves completely with hearing aids and not be able to get any help from the State?
