[Elecraft] Second Try--Re: K3: CM500 vs. SB40

[Kjeld Holm]

Regarding hearing aids you may be interested in a product that can send LF
from K3 directly to your hearing aids.
The Danish company Phonak are selling a device under the name of TVLink
which plugs into the line out, Scart, headphone or external speaker
connector and from it's console sends in stereo to your hearing aids. 
I have been using this for about 6 years now and it is the best "headphones"
I have ever had! The price is about 3000 Danish kroner which is something
like 450 US $.

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.
