I'm told by some of the guys I know who have significant hearing loss that CW,
with headphones on and the volume cranked up, is a lot easier for them to
understand than is phone, consequently they work only CW. 73 - Rich, KE3Q

Don't worry, the speed will come back quickly. As always, the key is
PRACTICE!
I have tailored a couple of pairs of stereo headphones by putting a series
resistor
(determined by experiment) in the line to the phone for my "good" ear, so
that
perceived volume is the same in both ears. It seems to work pretty well. I
spend lots
of time copying CW in contests.
