Here' what I've heard and here's what I know: first - what I heard -- I head that Sam's and Costco use two-year old technology so that's how they compete with price. (BTW, I went to both and I think that's true as the others I tried worked better). Here's what I know: four years ago I went to 8 or 9 places here in TV and told each that I was going to a number of different places looking for their best recommendations and best price. I said if they were interested in my approach then let's go. All did the testing, made their recommendations and gave me their prices. I ended up at Villages Ear in Southern Trace and Dan is my audiologist. MaryAnn is the gal up front and I've been very pleased with them. (I used my approach because I do not like negotiating and that was the only way I knew how to buy without doing so).
