OK, that probably explains the tinniness. But is it normal that the aids are programmed to develop such low gain for the default setting when the need appears to be much higher? And if the tinniness can be adjusted out, can the aids then be adjusted closer to the maximum avaliable gain of the hearing aids? If they can, what would probably be the maximum gain that can be expected for an aid such as the Epoq?
It is possible that the tinniness in the Epoq is by default much more prone to occur than the Widex since the amplification curve for the Epoq peaks at about 3000 Hz and then drops off where as the amplification curve for the Widex is fairly flat between 2000-3000Hz. In other words according to the amplification graphs, the Epoq amplifies about 10 DB greater at 3000 Hz compared to 2000 Hz where as the Widex amplifies all frequencies between 2000-3000 Hz within 2 DB of each other in that range.
