I don't usually recommend boosting the highs except for a pro mic that 
needs it for ham radio. While it may sound better for your hearing loss, 
it can cause overload of the audio path.

Yes. I always recommend that the mic be 2-3 inches above and to the side 
of the mouth. This avoids bass build-up from being too close, and also 
breath pops.
