Any recommendations for the best hearing aid specialist/provider in The Villages?

[Toymeister]

Costco or Sam's Club. You will get aids on par with the specialty shops. Theirs 5,000. Membership clubs under 2,200.

Having gone to only one audiologist and one supplier of hearing aids, I cannot comment on the 'best', but i have had very good service from HearUSA, they have discounts for AARP UHC insurance, and I used the Villages Health System hearing specialist, and she was also very good Sarah Montero audiologist. On a side note, since these were my first hearing aids and my hearing loss was mild, I chose to go with lower end devices, both were supportive of this approach, and I saved lots of money.

I went to one of the 'hearing aid' stores in the shopping centers in TV

I really feel like I over paid for the hearing aids. I paid like 4K or 6K, can't remember which

if I had to do it all over, I'd go with the cheapest ones I could find...the expensive ones are just BS

well...that's my story anyway

My wife teaches classes to nurses in noisy rooms and has worked with Page Holt to maximize her understanding of high pitched voices in a large classroom up to 70 nurses.
My wife has been going to Page Holt for 9 years and we couldn't be happier.
She has recently upgraded to a new model after 5 years with her old set.
If your hearing loss is slight or you don't need to hear in crowds Sams Club or Costco might be all you need.
If you have tried hearing aids more than 10 years ago try them again because the technology changes every year.
Stay away from the store front shops go to a place with a Doctor of Audiology or an MD on the staff. Lake ENT is on the historic side.

Page Holt for sure.

My husband has been very happy with the hearing aide facility next door to Home Depot & Panda Express on Rolling Acres Rd The Dr, August is his name, is very personable & knowledgeable.

A frugal life-long hearing aid user is completely pleased with Costco's service, price and quality of product.

Costco definitely offers great discounts compared to other hearing aid places. There is some debate between hearing aid technicians vs audiologist but my experience at Costco is that they do a very good job for fitting hearing aids. Other hearing or ear related issues, you need a medical person. Costco hearing aids models offered are usually a year old or a feature or two off (example my KS9 has only one bluetooth source capability whereas the non Costco version has two, but at thousands dollars more).

We have also have had a very good experience thru TruHearing. Check website for locations near you. They use medically trained audiologist but their hearing aid prices are excellent and very transparent. They carry the latest models.

Good luck.

Not sure about Florida, but most Audiologists in California will give you a free test...I took a copy of my audiogram to Costco and bought my hearing aides there...I’ve had very good maintenance at Florida Costco’s. For my mild hearing loss they seem more than adequate.

My hubby uses Costco for hearing aids & glasses. They are very reasonable and give excellent care

[ureout]

I've been going to express hearing 541 Fieldcrest Dr for many years... who ever you choose make sure that they carry ALL the top brands of hearing aids and try them out, each brand usually will give you a different hearing experience ... ask about their accessories, apps and bluetooth capability

I have been wearing aids for 10 years, and have worked with 3 different audiologists in that time. By far, the best fitting, price, and satisfaction was from Costco. I went to the Costco in winter park. I bought the top of the line from Philips, actually made by Oticon. They auto connect to my cell phone, and can also be controlled from the phone, in addition to being controlled by the aids themselves. The audiologist did a flawless job of getting them adjusted perfectly. Their price is half, I mean literally half the price of the other providers. They give you 180 days to make up your mind, a three year warranty, and a one time replacement for loss or damage. No one else comes close to Costco.

Are you a veteran? If so...…$50 at the VA clinic.
