The difference is with an outboard equalizer you can quickl adjust the audio
to your needs with the various
voicees you receive. Very fast, turn the pot control. The menu change takes
too long for quick changes for each
signal. You will need a different adjustment with different voices and b
That's exactly what I did, on the advice of the below quoted author, and
it is very effective. Admittedly, my hearing is probably worse than
many, and I'd gladly take a few more dB of equalization, but what the K3
provides is free [not counting the cost of the K3 :-)] and it does work.

The RXEQ built into the K3 is capable of about 36 dB of combined high

I have been following this thread with interest, I also wear hearing aids.
When operating CW and chasing DX I dont wear the aids and turn up the volume

When ragchewing on SSB though I wear the aids and had trouble getting clarity

Earlier, someone asked about stereo with T-coils. This is a stereo T-coil
passive loop set, with two small hooks that go over your ears. Looks like a
nice setup, $49.

I just tried my T-coil setting in my ham shack and not hearing the
usual ac hum and "braaack" sound as I moved my head. I guess I had
tried it mostly at the (former) workplace where there are more EM

Here's a simple product that can be used to couple a typical headphone
output to a hearing aid that has a T-coil. The plug is almost certainly
