I just want to make this quick point. Hearing aids are being advertised in newspapers from €2,000 up to €4,000 and it seems to me that anyone can sell or fit hearing aids. People are shelling out money, especially older people who are on pensions and have difficulties. I ask the Minister to look at this. Between audiologists and whoever else, there seem to be a lot of people who are only selling hearing aids.
