Oh right. So maybe I should go for the Arkon anyway? I can get one from
www.aqsound.com for =A349. Yes, it's expensive, but at least it'll be
hearing aid compatible. I will ask my dad not to bother with the Sony
one as I need to re-consider. Thanks for looking, and I look forward to
hearing from you.
