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.
