Or even if you don't purchase them? While I've never been able to wear an aid, I did try them out when I was a child and again after I reached adulthood with no results other than amplifying the sounds (some extremely nerve wracking since I didn't need the amplification in the low frequency) and they were used for a period of several weeks at no charge. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!385!14.0!Ann.Stalnaker Internet: Ann.Stalnaker@p0.f14.n385.z1.fidonet.org
