Subject :  Re: Frequency compression/shifting technology. Opinions?

Thank you. I hear what you're saying. I will not be spending six months with this hearing aid, so I won't know whether I would ever enjoy hearing birds all sounding like geese. It's very very hard for me to imagine that would be the case. It's also very clear that I don't need this for speech. With amplification I am able to hear the s, f, th, and ch sounds okay, without shifting them to a lower frequency. In addition, it's hard to imagine how anyone would really need this feature for speech, unless they simply had no hearing in the high frequencies whatsoever.
