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

[Don Wilhelm]

Gwen and all,

If you find yourself in that situation, get yourself good hearing aids 
and wear them all the time during your waking hours.  In most cases, 
that will reduce the tinnitus drastically or eliminate it.
Your brain will soon figure out that it does not have to invent sounds 
that produce the tinnitus.  Yes, you will need the help of a good 
audiologist to get the customized programming for your particular ears 
set right for you - which frequency bands need amplification and by how 
much is not a trivial undertaking.

The DSP programming in modern hearing aids is really amazing.  I don't 
know how they get so much function in such a small device.

They are expensive, but well worth it.
