> The other problem areas are those with bad acoustics or with too many hard 
> surfaces and an echo problem. Also stages built to be sounding boards!

> I don't have to use, yet, a hearing aid, but I do hear from musicians that

> playing in a band and hearing what is going on.

> Does anyone out there have personal experience that they would care to
