Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 If sounds will be the same and metallic, I think it will just take me less than 1 week. I like metallic sounds from hearing aids. Without them there's no way for me to understand speech that time I was fitted when I'm still moderate to severe.
