There are a lot of excellent reports from people using Costco. Our local one has a tiny hearing aid center. I got my HAs from another place that cost a lot more for a comparable product. Had they been available at Costco at that time I most likely would have gone there. Wouldn’t care if it was in a refrigerator box in the parking lot.
Like any other profession you get people with credentials that are good and not so good. An ophthalmologist isn’t better at fitting glasses than an optician. I have an awesome audiologist who was very patient with repeated visits. You want someone who will work with you. This is not easy like fitting glasses. You have to have someone willing to tweak them and respond to your feedback to tweak some more.
