[Elecraft] Hearing aids and K3

[Bob K6UJ]

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 and use headphones which works fine for me.
When ragchewing on SSB though I wear the aids and had trouble getting clarity on some voices.  I now use 
an MFJ  616  outboard variable equalizer tailored for the audio spectrum.  It connects between the audio out of my K3 and the speakers.
It works very well, makes a big improvement in intelligibility.  I wanted to point it out to those with a hearing loss that
have trouble with copying SSB audio sometimes.  I have two of these units.  One is in the shack and the other one is new in
the box.  I plan to list the new one on EBAY.  If anyone is interested contact me directly off the reflector.
Here are  reviews from EHAM on the unit.    http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2554
