Best of Innovations 2008. The hearing device Oticon Epoq has been selected as an International CES Best of Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award honoree by the American Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), producer of the world's largest consumer electronics show (CES). Oticon Epoq’s advanced wireless connectivity technology earned one of the highest scores in the healthcare category from an international panel of independent industry designers, engineers and members of the trade press. Oticon Epoq’s wireless technology enables two Epoq hearing instruments to communicate together providing the user with a three-dimensional auditory sound picture. This perception of “spaciousness” helps the user to localize where sounds and voices are coming from.
