I used to have a dual channel 15-band equalizer. It could quickly compensate
for deficiencies in my ear and signals. Compared to software equalizers,
you can manipulate them rapidly for max readability. Many times a difficult
copy became an easy copy.
However, the equalizer was susceptible to
I'll second the Costco recommendation.
That said, their resident audiologist told me flat out, even the best will
not make your ears suddenly 16 years old again.
They can do wonders, but don't expect them to be perfect.
He has tweaked mine a couple times over the years for minor improvements and
A friend who was slowly going blind commented: "Blindness cuts you off
from things; deafness cuts you off from people." For most folks most of

isolated.
Costco. I bought their new Phonak at a
true savings. Their Kirkland brand are
fantastic too. Free replacement if lost
for the first 2 years...

Re. Gwen, NG3P comment: I should probably see an audiologist someday. I've
had nasty tinnitus as
long as I can remember.
Yes, you should...no, you MUST! It is amazing how much hearing deficiencies
affect us and we don't even know it. I am not a doctor or audiologist, but I

I've used ReSound for about 10+ years. I'm on my third pair - the latest
being brand new - and I've been very satisfied with their performance.
The newest pair has blue tooth connectivity to just about everything as
well as all the latest bells and whistles. There is an APP available
Costco does have different brands, but I've gone with their in-house
Kirkland brand. These are rebranded versions of another manufacturer, and
that has changed from time to time. One can discover the actual maker with
Google, or just ask the Costco hearing aid people.

Yep, Costco for hearing aids is the best. My wife has had them for years,
and we are going there today for "tune up". Always great service, and with
our back and forth to Texas, we always have a Costco for follow up, if
needed.

Just want to echo the comments on hearing aids from Costco. I’ve had excellent
service, excellent hearing aids, and very good pricing from our local Costco.

Ted,
If the RX EQ isn't enough, and you're interested in a relatively simple
homebrew project, I recall an article in
QST by Hal, N4GG, about 15 years ago, for an outboard equalizer for use with
headphones.

I would expect an audiologist to consider 3kHz as a high frequency, as
they are generally interested in speech intelligibility, and hearing
aids are not, generally, high bandwidth devices.
It's also high in musician's terms, being three and a bit octaves above
middle C.

I investigated this when my XYL wanted (and needed) aids. Costco has a

I second the motion about hearing aids and cost. Get a couple of opinions from
different vendors and don’t be afraid to ask your friends look closely and
many of your friends may have hearing aids that you were not aware of.
My audiologist has been in the business since a kid as his father
Gwen and all,
If you find yourself in that situation, get yourself good hearing aids
and wear them all the time during your waking hours. In most cases,
that will reduce the tinnitus drastically or eliminate it.
Your brain will soon figure out that it does not have to invent sounds

there WERE audiologists (of course there are, why wouldn't there be?) until

Yes, you should. But watch

If so, ask them whether they consider 3 kHz to be high frequency. That is the
highest frequency you should hear from an amateur SSB signal. Unless they and
you are in ESSB mode,
