There is an enormous price range for hearing aids. The more expensive
ones are moulded to your ear and can be programmed to match a persons
hearing defects.

Is there something much better than the above which would be worth
trying?

A lot of shysters around. Get her referred by her GP to the local
audiology service. The NHS ones are quite good these days.

a bit better than they were some 10 years ago whe I was told (with a 60dB
knotch at 4.5kHz in both ears) "there is nothing the NHS can do for you.
Just cup your hand behind your ear."
