I noticed this on Tuesday and wondered whether it was just poor continuity or some conscious decision from tptb. Anyone have any thoughts?

He was wearing one. It was a small one though so you'd probably miss it if you didn't know he used one.

You can get invisible hearing aids, so it wouldn't be so obvious.

Maybe he has been prescribed a better one that is more discreet. My brother in law wears one and you cannot tell as it is so small.

I saw it the the other day. When Shirley pinned him against the wall. It's transparent.

That's because he was wearing it

It stood out like hell. Do people not look at the TV when they are watching it or something?

The reason I was interested to see what others thought was because my partner wears a hearing aid in both ears. NHS hearing aids but the most hi tech nonetheless. And you can tell they are there. The ones Ben wears you would not get on the NHS and they would cost a pretty penny. Perhaps all prisoners with a degree of deafness are given these little beauties in Walford!

He was putting it on in the bathroom in last night's episode near the beginning.

Do people expect him to walk around with an ear trumpet?
