Different modes.  I have a group of settings I use for SSB that attempt 
to emulate the program in my hearing aids.  Not near enough for me but 
it's sure better than nothing.  If I set the lows for -16, I can set the 
higher frequencies up to + 16, turn up the overall gain, and get about 
32 db of net equalization [Thanks for that idea from K9YC].  3 times 
that would be perfect, but I can understand SSB on my K3 that I can't on 
the FT-847.

For CW, I try to get a peak around my sidetone [570 Hz] and roll the 
rest off to lower the perceived noise a little.  It makes a difference.

If I had a cable from the radio to the miniscule sockets the use to 
program my hearing aids, I wouldn't need the RX EQ :-)
