    Costco Hearing Aids please step in.

    Going to have to get hearing aids Costco prices are a lot better. We use their glasses for years. Very Happy with them.

    Looks like they offer three brands. If you have any experience good or bad I'd like to hear.

    I have heard nothing but good things about the Costco ones. I need to get them to but don't want to admit I am getting old.

    My BIL has had several sets of hearing aids. The last ones he got were from Costco and he says they are the best he's had

    I have the Philips brand from Costco. Very happy with them. I even bought the remote control so I didn't have to fumble around with my fat, stiff fingers to adjust the volume.

    I have had 3 sets of Costco hearing aids, the current set and by far the best are not from there.
    Having said that Costco Aids are decent but a lot of it depends on the severity of your hearing loss and where in the range you need help.
    Perhaps you have a minor to moderate hearing loss, maybe its isolated to one ear, I don't know but if you have a severe hearing loss you should see an Audiologist.

    You will be working with a hearing person, I think Costco calls them specialists. This is not a bad thing but make no mistake, they are not an audiologist.
    A few moths ago the Feds ok'd over the counter hearing aids and these are on par with what you can buy from Costco, check these out too.

    We got my wife a set from Sam's Club recently and they are great as well. They were around $3000 and now we are getting her the battery charger and better batteries for them. Sam's develop (make) their own in house and Costco doesn't acorrding to what we were told.

    I got Jabra from Costco for my first set a few months back . I am adjusting to wearing them and they help my moderate to severe hearing loss .
    I first went to an ear nose and throat doctor and they checked my ears and just said all was good expect I had moderate to severe hearing loss. Hearing aids were 5,000 -6,000 and 7,000 they had to choose from .
    The next place was a hearing aid place my Medicare insurance would pay part of the cost and my part was 1600
    My friend is on his third set of hearing aids which he got from Costco . He has had the high dollar ones the other two set and after getting in the shower and ruining his other he gave Costco a try and he told they were the best he has had .
    I settled for Costco and am satisfied with them so far . The misses appreciates me not having to have the tv up loud anymore.

    Had my costco hearing aid for 3 years now. Very good devices. Previous sets from audiologist were much more expensive and had less features. Be sure to make appointment ahead of going in. I have no complaints and will likely get my next set at costco also.

    I have the Phillips also, on the Dr of Audiology’s suggestion based on my hearing loss.

    Actually the person who helped me with mine at the Costco in Brentwood TH was a dr of Audiology. Better than the help they have working for the ENT.

    All good on Costco hearing aids. Getting my second set from them next week. Current aids are near 4 years old. New aids are costing about 60% of what the ones cost 4 years ago and should be better!

    Have been wearing them for 2 years now. No problems whatsoever. If you check the walls in the offices of their specialists, you will see diplomas for audiology for everyone of the employees. Price point is right compared to some of the gouging specialists out there.

    After many years of putting it off I finally went and got my first pair from Costco. Phillips brands is what I have. What a difference. I have no idea how they compare to the others but your brain gets used to them. I can make some adjustments on them and so far they are great. I can actually hear my turn signal now. And birds

    Would the ones offered at Sam's Club be equivalent or not?

    I got the hearing test at COSTCO but I was so bad off in my left ear she couldn't fit me with hearing aids. I need the type where the aid in the deaf ear sends its signal to the aid in the good ear. We're back to six or seven grand again.

    I had a $7000 pair from a big audiology clinic and hated them. It was when I was still working. The Bluetooth was the problem with those...the Bluetooth in the Silverado and the Bluetooth in the iPhone just couldn't get along with the Bluetooth in the hearing aids. One of my wife's hearing aid went bad so I just gave them to her. I get along just fine without them.
    Don't worry Ma'am....
