"Is she wearing Hearing Aids?"

[Don]

Hi Joe,

I meant that the client might be profoundly deaf. I have had two clients
that found playing their intruments unbearable with their hearing aides on.
That was the basis for the statement. 

Obviously, it is quite possible to tune *with* hearing aides--most people
call them ETD's *grin*. I'm very glad that hearing aides are improving by
the day! For I expect to have to wear one some day.
