Hi Vix.  Toby is among the majority of his canine cousins if he finds
hearing aid feedback offensive.  I've heard of doggies, and even cats,
attacking and chewing the offending hearing aids.  This can happen
even when the frequency of the feedback signal is above "normal"
human hearing range.

I can't hear the feedback of my aids if I leave them turned on when
they are not in my ear.  But my "S.O." can hear them 50 feet away.
Some people recommend removing the batteries when you take them out.
That's probably a good idea, but a bit of a nuisance.

Just be sure Toby understands the difference between hearing aids
and Milk Bones.

Jack.
