Subject :  Re: All about the Oticon Epoqs (one big post)
posted by shhhh.shhhh on Fri Sep 14, 2007 10:34 pm
Thanks for the post, Bryan. That was a lot of useful info on the Epoqs in one place. I wear Widex CICs and have tried many open fits. The one big difference I have noticed is that I often speak either too loud or too soft while wearing CICs as opposed to speaking in a normal tone while wearing open fits. This especially happens when in meetings or at parties or outdoors where there is a lot of ambience noise. This didn’t seem to happen when I tried open fits. Now, you probably wouldn’t know if you are speaking too loudly or softly... just as I didn't until a few people pointed that out to me :). So, has anyone, your wife or friends, commented that you might be speaking either too loudly or too softly in any particular situation?
You mentioned the silicone mold. Is this the same as that shown in the brochures? The transparent mold with a wire sticking out. It looks a little hard in the pic and not rubbery :). Do your ear canals get a little sweaty if you wear it all day? All day = 8 to 10 hours.
How does Epoq perform in windy situations when you are outdoors? Do you hear a lot of rustling, roaring cars and a very confusing mix of noises? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shhhh
