Costco is too far? How far would he travel to save over $3000.00? The latest generation Kirkland Signature KS10 hearing aids are made for Costco by Sonova, which is the same company that makes the Phonak brand aids. Those Phonak Audeo Paradise 90 aids at a local audiologist practice will run around $4500.00 for the pair, as opposed to the $1399.00 from Costco.
Add in Costco's 180 day return policy, 3-year warranty, free domes and filters for life, unlimited adjustments at no charge, etc, and it is a no brainer. FWIW...I have been wearing hearing aids for a long time. I have done the private practice Audiologist gig, and have worn Phonak and ReSound aids in the past. I will never go anywhere again but Costco. They provide a top notch hearing exam/evaluation (free), and they don't work on commission. Their Kirkland KS10 aids are made for them by a major manufacturer, and sold at a fraction of the "market" price. What's not to like. So, yeah...drive a little, save a lot.
