I also tried with the device Resound sells. It just didn't work very 
well for CW, even though I asked the audiologist to program my aids to 
not try to suppress tones around 500 Hz. I didn't check the delay, 
because the sound was too weak to be usable. Worked great for TV, 
though. Ultimately I returned it.
