I'm deaf in one ear (nerve zapped 50 years ago by
Meniere's episode) and at 78 have moderate loss in
the other, so it has a hearing aid which makes a
huge difference for music and conversation. I can
still use an ear bug for hamming with the HA in
place, fortunately.

I think I'm the first to use and mention in this
forum the CM500. I have some age and noise
related hearing loss (mostly right side) and
tinnitus. I use a CW sidetone around 400-450 HZ.
The K3 has a built-in receive equalizer so I
don't see a need for an external one.

If your hearing loss is age-related, try a
lower frequency, like 400-500 Hz.
Age-related hearing loss usually is in the
1000-3000 KHz range. If it's
occupational-related, it could be any frequency.
I recall an article in QST a number of years
ago by N4GG about building a
small equalizer. As I recall it was a
realtively simple project and you can
individually boost various freq bands as needed.
