I find that when working CW my hearing loss helps me if I set the CW pitch at 400 to 450 cycles. In fact I had my audiologist adjust the fourth setting on my hearing aids to a 500 cycle peak, so I don't have to remove them when working CW. With phone I set them on speech. 73, Tom, N5GE - SWOT 3537 - Grid EM12jq "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" An excerpt from a letter written in 1755 from the Assembly to the Governor of Pennsylvania.
