[Elecraft] Tinnitus and the K3 RX EQ and Related Variables

[Dauer, Edward]

A question about special settings for the K3’s RX EQ, AFX, filter width and passband settings and other on-board parameters for a particular problem . . .

Just had a long visit with an audiologist, about a worsening tinnitus condition.  Principal underlying cause is loss of acuity at the high end of the audio scale.  I will not mention or ask about any of the contributing neurology, physiology, psychology or any other medical ology lest this post be branded with the Scarlet Letters OT.   Other than to say, that to avoid making the situation worse I am told I should avoid exposing myself to audio environments that would make the underlying acuity loss worse.

Has anyone who has faced this learned anything by experience or otherwise about the filter, EQ, and other settings for the K3 in both SSB and CW modes that would be best for this sort of thing?

Please, speak up.

Thanks,
