"Audiologists say I suffer from what they call a soldier’s ear and in a sense I agree with them since I have had a hearing problem ever since an enemy jet dropped a bomb a bit too close for comfort while I was on a UN patrol in Syria.
Since I have been dealing with my hearing loss, I have trialled and used many different hearing aids, but had not found a hearing aid which worked to the full potential as the advertising would lead one to believe. I’m delighted with Oticon Epoq. This on the ear piece of equipment is simply the cat’s whiskers, the bee’s knees, the caterpillar’s eyebrows – you name it, that’s Epoq, it’s near perfect.
I have worn my Oticon Epoq’s in airplanes, in noisy streets, in rural idylls, at concerts, in cinemas & recently in Canada at one of the noisiest cocktail parties I have ever been to; and in my job I attend a lot…the Epoq passed with flying colours.
I love music, and the first evening after I had my Epoq’s fitted I sat down and listened to a favourite piano concert, and for the first time in a very long time I could hear when the pianist used the pedals. In short, this is pure bliss!
I had no idea how important the Epoq would become to me. I now have confidence that people actually are saying what I hear them saying without having to hazard the odd guess; I can look them in the eye rather then at their mouth.
I have worn hearing aids before and I know all the pitfalls I have had experience of them all, however the Epoq’s are just a revelation…I cannot think of any ways technically to improve them they are perfect."
