I have been putting off getting hearing aids for some time now. SO has been super patient with me and with repeating herself whenever I responded to her with, "what?", folowed up with a, "Say that again."
SO's hearing is also deteriorating but isn't as bad as mine. Her family urged her to get HA too.
A few weeks ago we went to our ENT doctor for a check up and hearing tests. When the discussion of hearing aids came up, the first words out of the doctor's mouth were, "Go to Costco." She felt they offered a very good product that met our needs and the price was also excellent.
We had appointments with the Costco hearing aid center last Sunday and picked up our HAs today. They work great and the price is right. The technician at Costco was very helpful and patient. Set up our HAs and the associated phone app. Allowed us to practice.
The cool part is that, in addition to being able to hear properly, our HAs act as Air Pods/wireless ear buds. We can take and end phone calls directly through our HAs, listen to music from our iPhones, and hear TV sound in the HAs with a compatible streaming device. Our basic Roku Streaming Stick+ is not bluetooth compatible so I'll have to get another model. But that's not a big item.
Also, they are rechargeable so no batteries to deal with.
All in all, I think it worked out great.
