Spinets and Hearing Aids

[Thomas Cole]

Al,

I've had some similar situations with hearing aids, especially the newer 
digital type. The fix has been for the senior citizen to talk to the 
audiologist about reprogramming their hearing device to work with 
Wurlitzer spinets (and pianos in general ;-)).

Has she listened to other pianos?
