I'm not sure that boosting high frequencies (assuming you have simple,
age related, type losses) is really a safe thing to do. Whilst hearing
aids do this, they also apply dynamic range compression, to minimise the
additional hearing damage caused by the aid for loud sources.
Incidentally,
You would need the most recent BLE 5.0 or above, with low latency support.
Then the delay is perhaps small enough that it won't make you crazy. I have
a Bluetooth transmitter in my bag to plug into devices that don't have
Bluetooth support, but I haven't used it for CW. Simple enough to use,

If your aids have programmable settings that you can select from a menu,
feedback could be eliminated by reducing gain when wearing phones.

Hi Kevin,
Which dongle is that? Low-latency Bluetooth transmitters are hard to come
by and the specific model might be useful to others.

I have Phonak aids that are bluetooth enabled. Headphones over these tends to
cause feedback howl. For me, the direct connection to my receiver via
bluetooth works well. I have a bluetooth dongle that plugs into the xcvr audio
output. The dongle cost me about AUD14.00. I paired it with my
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
The Heil PRAS works extremely well for me.

Yes, this a deal-killer if you're a CW op, and it can be a bit
disconcerting (although not nearly as bad) if you also monitor your SSB
signal.
Several suggestions.

Please allow me to add my thoughts to the discussion. My hearing loss is
not profound, but when I started using hearing aids I had to ditch my
Yamaha CM-500 headset, as its over the ear style rubbed against the behind
the ear receiver in canal style of my hearing aid. That made for a LOT of

I have pretty severe hearing loss and my solution is a behind the ear Bluetooth
controlled hearing aid that has an accompanying smart phone app that allows me
to boost or otherwise customize on the fly bass, mids, and treble. Additional
on the fly customizable features include noise
Firstly, nothing above about 3.4kHz is relevant for communications, and
for typical SSB that is down to about 2.7 to 3kHz.
However, with a large hearing loss, you really need to find a solution
that uses the hearing aids, as digital aids will have safety features
and dynamic range compression
I think a class-action lawsuit is in order against Boston, the Electric
Light Orchestra and General Dynamics.

I use the Heil PARS with Bose QC35 headphones which are far and away the
