Dear Steve & List: Pack your 5440, take the 09:14 to Dodge, and let them have it at High Noon! Resound never considered that anyone with a vision problem would be prescribed their hearing aids.
Or visit the DOJ. Take the Uptown "E" from 23 St. Station to Penn Station. Then the Acela to DC Union Station. Not cheap, First Class is $455 each way. Think Amtrak sells monthly Acela tickets. Rachel and I Safaried to Washington DC Union Station one day to visit a friend of mine by the Acela. She loved the lack of screaming kids, complimentary Coffee, O. J. etc. in the Metropolitan Lounge just for First Class travelers. Asked about the fare and almost died. Said we could have flown for that. Liked the comp. headphones and hot meal with the works. One un-advertised perk of First-Class Amtrak is the bar is bottomless! One of their agents said if this were advertised, the W. C. T. U. would lobby Congress to pass The Volstead Act II. Friend of mine living in my building was told The Blue Rinse Mob leave their meeting at their venue, Willard Hall, and promptly proceed to Mickey Finn's Bar & Grill across the street! He said they sure do! And they enjoy the bar! He said they are all hypocrites. Brian K.

And the salespeople are equally as clueless. They even recommended I contact my phone carrier for support. And the stupid audiologist who sold me these otherwise fine devices agreed with them, saying he thought it was the best idea! Wait until I go back for my first follow-up on the 13th and tell him the interest I've aroused on this list! I hope all you Resound users are carrying the flag over to the Resound people and letting them know we're out here and something needs to be done. Of course, we don't have to get militant on them, or in the words of a set of books I just finished reading, we don't have to get western on them (LOL), but we're out here, and equal access isn't just an idea any more.
