[Elecraft] Headphones for Hearing Loss

[David Woolley]

I'm not sure that boosting high frequencies (assuming you have simple, 
age related, type losses) is really a safe thing to do.  Whilst hearing 
aids do this, they also apply dynamic range compression, to minimise the 
additional hearing damage caused by the aid for loud sources.

Incidentally, the standard correction applied by hearing aids is 
approximately half the number of dB's of loss.  They don't try to fully 
cancel the loss.
