The Oticon Epoq W is characterized by the Binaural Synchronization, which synchronizes all the advanced features like noise reduction between the two hearing aids. This feature works as a high speed wireless technology that synchronizes automatically the noise reduction and directionality to preserve the understanding of speech in every situation.
You can also count with the convenient streamer that works as a remote control for your hearing aid to change volume or program, and also to connect through Bluetooth to your cellphone, TV, MP3 or laptop. Available in white or black, with optional colors on silicon skins.

Performance and Style
The Oticon Epoq W can effectively communicate wirelessly between the two hearing aids at transfer speeds higher than any other hearing aids. It can process the data in real time speeds as voices and sounds are received by the hearing aids. The wireless connectivity also allows to use Bluetooth to connect with electronical devices like laptops or MP3s.
But the most raved about benefit of this wireless connection is the fact that it can effectively coordinate the action of the hearing aids and their features, so that there is no difference in what and how sounds and voices are heard through both hearing aids.
The Epoq W has a brother in Oticon’s line, the XW, but the only difference between the two is how they handle the noise. The XW is more sophisticated in how it handles the noise and enhances voices and sounds for much better understanding.
One of the disadvantages of this model is the fact that it is available as a receiver in the ear design that requires continuing maintenance in the receiver and dome. Besides that the whole hearing aid works wonders improving your hearing and it is comfortable to wear. It is a prime choice from the Oticon’s catalog of hearing aids for anyone with mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
