I have moderate to heavy hearing loss after spending 10 years on the 
flight line around jet engines. Rock and roll didn't help much either. I 
like the open air Yeasu YH77sta in the shack and on filed day when you 
need to talk with a logger. They do not interfere with my Phonak over 
the ear aids.

I use hearing aids and the style I have won’t work with headphones.  I have the equalizer on the KX2 set to boost the highs, OK with an external amp & speaker but it is not enough with the headphones I have.  Any experience/recommendations with headphones that have a built-in equalizer or treble boost?  SSB operator.  (KX2 #3007, KXPA100 #2802)
