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 [b]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.[/b]  [/quote]

There is real value in this post....when I was first fitted with hearing aids at 35, I chose in-the-ear hearing aids.  The number of times I had to go back to get the perfect fit was many, not to mention the various visits it took to get the right adjustment for sound.  Modeling for fit (technology) has come a long way since then (12 years ago), and it has been great to have an actual audiologist who participates in the ENT office that I go to for a well-rounded hearing medical experience.  I wear Phonak (in ear, I'm forgetting the actual phrase, maybe ITC - in the canal).  I am hopeful that by the time I get my next pair, they are bluetooth enabled b/c not being able to wear headphones and such has been a disappointment as ear buds have exploded in the past couple of years.
