I have moderate hearing loss in one (1) ear, and will actually looking at the new OTC hearing aids in the next few months after there are some real world reviews.
I have a friend who has had to wear hearing aids since childhood and the ONLY place she will buy new ones is at Costco. She said they by far have the best "exchange" program available so that you get what you need and dont have to deal with multiple purchases. She said last time she upgraded, she was allowed to keep coming back until she got the perfect pair, and that it took 3 total attempts to get what worked best for her. She is VERY impressed and tells anyone who is in search of the next pair, so I share this hoping it helps you.
