    Propaganda from 'professionals'. It doesn't mention how long these examples went without H/A's. You can get a poor fit from anyone selling H/A's. They like to call it 'fitting' but it's just like buying a car or any other big ticket item - do yer homework!!!!

    Shame on you PhysOrg for including this advertisement from an outside source. Check out the copyright.
