2010-08-19 Thread chris hallsworth
Hello all, I have been equipped with two very powerful digital hearing aids literally today. I'm wondering what is the best in terms of audio quality. By that I mean things like 44,100HZ 16 bit or 128KBPS. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Sent using Thunderbird To unsubscribe
