Hearing Aids @ Kings Opticians Liverpool

The concept - For the first time in history, the role of hearing aids is changing. In the past their sole function was to compensate for hearing loss. But now they serve as an intelligent interface between the user and their environment. Epoq is the name of this new interface, and its secret is broadband, wireless processing.
Epoq and its companion device - the Epoq Streamer - offer interfacing in multiple dimensions:
• It captures the vast array of sounds in the user's immediate environment.
• It seizes sounds being transmitted from distant sources via electronic devices such as mobile phone.
• It then presents the information in a way that optimizes the remaining auditory capabilities of the listener.
Staying connected in more ways than one
To provide a dynamic interface between user and environment, Epoqs interact with each other. Wireless communication and high-speed coordination help them to provide the brain with the binaural input necessary for accurate sound localisation, speech segregation and overall perception.
The technology - With its extreme 10 kHz bandwidth and wireless broadband processing, Epoq promises supremely stable and harmonic sound quality plus easy connectivity to modern communication devices: the Epoq Streamer turns Epoq instruments into a Bluetooth, wireless headset at the mere touch of a button. So your clients can enjoy second-to-none sound quality in both ears.
Key Features
Contemporary Design - BTE and RITE designs are very small and discreet in size and are available in a broad and contemporary colour palette - offering beautiful cosmetics and remarkable user-friendliness.
Spatial Sound - Two binaurally fitted Epoqs work as one central processing unit - helping to maintain a proper interpretation of the location of the various sounds in the environment.
True Dynamics - A mixture of two separate and parallel compression system - a slow 15 channel and a fast 4 channel system - to protect listening quality and maximising audibility and speech understanding.
My Voice - Ability to distinguish between talking and listening, allowing for sound stability to be maintained throughout conversations in challenging environments - ability to hear others more clearly right after talking yourself.
Binaural DFC - The new DFC system is able to detect and eliminate true feedback - allows the client to enjoy music without the instruments trying to cancel out identical pure musical tones appearing at both ears.
