The warehouse clubs (Sam's and Costco) have hearing technicians who are very competent. The savings are significant. A Costco hearing aid pair at $1,399.00 easily matches a $5,000.00 pair in features and quality. The service at Costco is exceptional!
Costco sells more hearing aids than any other firm in the US.

The audiologist in Va who sold us our first pair claims that big box stores are selling older technology and that is why they are cheaper.
Have no idea if this is true but the ones we bought last year were over $ 4000. Next time we will get a quote from Sams.
