I agree with previous posters - lots of time, and patience. I'll add with enthusiasm that you WILL get bitten at some point - possibly at many points - best to just accept that now and get over it. :) We've all been there. :)
With that said, Hahns tend to be sassy little boogers even when they've been handled all their lives, so a Hahns who has a (probably legitimate) fear of hands is going to take some real work. They are scary smart birds and have the ability to learn quickly, but they have to be given a reason to want to learn. Figure out what his favorite thing to eat is (even if it's something "not so good" for him, shhh, we won't tell! He'll only get teeny bits) and use that treat as motivation.
Do lots of reading as well. Hahns are small birds but they really have the personalities and attitudes of the big macaws (don't tell them they're small - they have no clue). My Hahns, Beaker, will be a year old on May 10th!
And keep us posted, we'll keep cheering you on!
