Here is what I do with good success.

For CW, I maximize RX EQ for my sidetone frequency. In my case, Sidetone is
800 Hz. RX EQ is 0 db for all bands except Band 5 (800 Hz) which I set at
+16 dB.

I just had my hearing aids adjusted. I asked for one program to bandpass at
800 Hz. Still evaluating if that is going to help.

I have no howl or feedback issues with over-the-ear hearing aids and cans.
Different people have different results.
