[Elecraft] CW listening pitch

[WILLIS COOKE via Elecraft]

Phil, I would try both and somewhere in between.  Best will be the frequency where your hearing peaks, optimum will consider other things, but you will still be able to hear. Adjust your volume and practice at the best frequency and see if you can make it optimum as well.  You may be able to change optimum, but probably not the best frequency.

Re "I had a hearing test, and the best frequency 
was several hundred HZ away from my optimum...". 
Best is not the same as optimum? That puzzles me.
