I’ve had hearing aids in the past, but they just didn’t meet my expectations so I returned them. Might have been my state of mind at the time because I thought my hearing was adequate. I got them because I was told (not by an audiologist) that I needed them.
Now, 5 years later, I’m thinking about giving them another try.

For the basic model, Villages Health quotes about $1600. Oticon and one other,I think.

Audiologist on 101 is about the same price for similar models. Same price for devices from several manufacturers. Told me that the basic model is all I need based on my lifestyle. I’m looking at the Phonak Infinio.

Costco has Jabra, Phillips and one other at roughly the same price.
Villages wants a copay for adjustments after a certain period as does the place on 101.
Costco has no copays for service after the sale.
I’m interested in hearing any experiences with any of these vendors (especially Costco), pros and cons.
Thanks
