[nfb-db] fm systgems

[Danielle Burton]

Janice, 
I have Phonak hearing aids but I do not have an Fm System. I have thought about trying an Fm System but haven't yet. Whatkind of hearing aids do you have and what Fm System from Phnak do you have? I have the Nios Micro Hearing Aids from Phonak. And the iCom for listening to audio devices. 

Danielle and Willa
