I was first interested in having Oticon hearing aids after reading an editorial written by Lord Forte. He extolled their virtue as the best, after having tried at least three other makers hearing aids. I too had tried three other makers, then went to Oticon in London. In my opinion, they are the best. I wanted the newest kind that were self charging via a charging hub. Such an improvement over fiddly batteries. My nearest Oticon agent was in Moraira.
