Don,
No adjustment to the K3 should be necessary. Your audiologist should
adjust your hearing aids to compensate for your hearing loss, and after
that is done, you can adjust the K3 RX EQ for your personal preferences.
I have a program in my aids that has no noise reduction, and expands my
hearing to be as flat as possible - that is my "music program" -
sustained musical notes do not make the aids "think" that is noise and
suppress it - I like to hear music as it was intended to sound. That is
the program I use in normal household (and ham radio) environments.
However, I also have 2 programs known as "speech in noise" that do offer
noise cancellation. Those help in noisy environments such as
restaurants. The most severe of which cancels sound from the rear so I
can best understand the person who is directly in front of me.
Work with your audiologist to get the best performance from your hearing
aids in those environments that you value the most, and after that, you
can make your choices about how you might want to change the response of
your K3. My K3 RX EQ settings are all set to zero - my hearing aids are
set for maximum intelligibility. YMMV.
BTW, I normally use the K3 with speakers (the XYL does not object). If I
must use headphones, the hearing aids come out. I may b unique because
my lower range hearing without the aids is normal, so I have built-in
low pass filters in my ears. Again, YMMV.

So I finally accepted the fact that my hearing isn't what it used to be. I got
my hearing tested and hearing aids are in order. No simple hearing aids for me,
though. I want the high-tech ones with multiple programs for different
environments. I'm interested in how others with hearing aids adjust the K3
receive equalization and AGC to match their hearing aids, or vice versa. Thanks
much!
