[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Costco has the same that you get from the local stores for a savings of $3500.[/quote]

Costco has similar HAs to the base-level HAs (similar in price as well as features and brands) at an audiologist's office (generally one generation older, which is still fine).  They have skilled audiologists who will set up the HAs but they don't really want to see you come back again and again and fine tune them, as a private audiologist will do.  So if you want better-than-base level HAs or if you want an audiologist who will take time to listen to you, adjust your HAs, and continue servicing them for the short and long term, go to an audiologist.

PP here. I like this take. I will say this instead of being wholly anti Costco from now. [/quote]

Costco has top-level models of manufacturers’ previous generation aids. This is discussed extensively on forum.hearingtracker.com. [/quote]

You are wasting your breath.  The anti-Costco folks are just trying to rationalize paying double for aids, [b]300 bucks for every follow-up appointment, a crappy return policy, a crappy loss/damage policy[/b].  Sure - There are times when a private audiologist might be a better choice.  But that is generally not the case.  [/quote]

Depends on the audiologist but no, my HAs included all of that for the life of the HAs.  Ymmv[/quote]
