For substantial selective hearing loss, or for detailed adjustment and compensation over the useful frequency range, I would consider a multi band graphic equalizer to tailor the audio to your needs.

The Omni VII, for example, has a limited two band EQ setting, which is adequate for my needs (I set it on FLAT/0 anyway), but for greater detail and more specific frequency adjustment, I would probably use a 12, 15 or more band EQ to compensate the audio. Simple to deploy if you are using amplified speakers such as computer speakers or the popular small nearfield studio monitors. I don't use one on ham radio, but my wife and I enjoy listening to old time radio programs, and we tailor the audio for best presentation of the speech frequency spectrum, and it makes a substantial difference. She has partial hearing loss, so it really helps to tune the audio to her limitations.

there is equalization available when pressing the AUDIO button. I have never
played with the settings. Is it possible to contour the audio to a hearing
range?
