Hello,
I haven't posted much but I could really use some in sight from others who may have had some experience in this area.
I was using an Oticon Epoq for a few years but I have had some MORE hearing loss during that time and need MORE power. My audi selected the Oticon Chili .. I didn't like the sound almost immediately. So my audi got me on another aide, the PHonak Bolero SP. I like it better than the Chili but still, not digging the way I hear things.
She's going back to Oticon and what seems to be the difference is although the Epoq was a BTE, the speaker actually is in the ear mold rather than behind the ear as part of the unit. She thinks that being closer to my ear drum makes the difference.
Anyone else experience the sound quality being significantly improved even with a BTE when your speaker goes into your ear canal by way of ear mold versus speaker being part of the behind the ear unit?
Really curious. Sorry so long..
