Hearing Aid advice

[txdon]

I saw the hearing aid place at Sam's also but the Costco HA seemed to be better quality at the time. Costco also had better reviews at that time. This was 2 years ago so an update is probably needed. Please do a comparison price between Beltone and Costco's most expensive.

When I was looking to get a new set of aids, the local hearing aid place wanted $5400 for a pair. A neighbor bought his at Costco so I started looking. They had a set made by Resound for $1795 so I looked on Sams Club website and didn't see the newer models with the receiver in the ear so I went with the Costco Signature 6.0, the $1795 ones. Just recently Costco has added the same type aids by Rexton for $1695. I was impressed with the service at Costco all the way from the service desk to the hearing aid department. I signed up for their Executive membership, $110 and their Costco Visa card and get back 2% on each, so the membership only cost about $38.

And along with the Visa card 2% you will get back 2% from Costco for your yearly store purchases for executive membership. If on the first year only, your 2% does not reach $55 they will up it to $55.

Costco Trave also got me the lowest price on a Caribbean cruise and when I got to the stateroom there was a certificate for $50 for on board spending complements of Costco.

I have not used their rental car deals or purchased a vehicle through them.

I'm assuming you have to be a member at COSTCO to buy from them? The Beltone dealer is local, COSTCO would be over an hour drive from where i live.

My Costco is over an hour also. But I saved thousands and they were very good. Where ever you get them from they will be huge improvement. Just be sure to get the remote that you can adjust to different programs and volume and is also a bluetooth connection to your phone. That has made the world of difference from my first hearing aids I got years ago at Beltone (for a thousand $ more ten years ago) and returned after 29 days. You are paying a lot of money be sure you are satisfied during their trial period.

My Costco is an hour and a half away, but I could make that trip a lot of times for the $3600 that I saved and my aids have remote control app on my smartphone. Oh yea, the Costco Visa also gives back 4% on their gas purchase.

Ours is an hour and 10 minutes away. Worth every mile of it. My life has changed for the better so dramatically I cannot put it in words.

Mine is over 2 hours away, and I'd do it again.

I've had for a year, and it's amazing how quite my world goes when I take the hearing aides out.

I really like how quite the car is with my hearing aids in when all the road noise is blocked out and I can hear voice clearly.

I've noticed the quiet car also and there is night and day difference in my new aids and my 7 or 8 year old ones. The old aids made it easier to understand people talking, but they also made a lot of background sounds louder too. With the new aids, I don't notice everything being louder, just that voice is so much clearer. Well worth the money.
