I have a conductive hearing loss mainly in one ear, down to 40dB. I'm choosing between the Oticon DUAL, DUAL CONNECT, or EPOQ. Any advice for me? I was told to get an ITE.

I don't know about the last two but my sister is using oticon dual as her hearing aid and its bean really great on her. As advertised, you can hear things naturally. But of course it would still depend on the condition of your ear so don't count on it much when you haven't tried it yourself and checked if its ok for you. This aid offers sound in a balanced way, they call it spatial sounds. The sounds you hear are so clear that you wouldn't even have to think twice on what you've heard. If you're gonna choose oticon dual as your hearing aid I hope this helps.

no offense here but my sister in law is using Dual Connect and she's doing great, I think you should check with your audiologist and see what can she recommends for you.
