Since my hearing is shot too, and I don't possess the gift of perfect pitch,
I prefer to use LSB only and look for the tones at the proper pitch with
Spectrogram - you can get within 10 Hz (limit of the K2 dial steps) or
closer with ease - to me that is the easiest and the most accurate, and you
don't have to monkey with calculating the CW offset stuff.
My suggestion requires a second AM receiver and can get you within
fractions of a Hz. You tune the AM RX to WWV and then you zero beat the
background tone on the K2. Since I'm used to it and have extra SW
receivers, it works well. I think either method, once you practice it,
is a lot easier than you'd think!
