Does the answer change during the year?

Yes. Eastern Time and Hawaii Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

October 14 to October 31: 3 AM EST = 9 PM HST the previous day
November 1 to March 13: 3 AM EST = 10 PM HST the previous day
March 14 to October 13: 3 AM EST = 9 PM HST the previous day

Eastern Time switches between EST and EDT for daylight saving time; people often say EST all year.
