I had my exam at Costco last Friday and decided to purchase the Sig 5. I wore a pair of hearing aids around the store that the tech adjusted to my hearing needs While in the booth I immediately noticed I was better able to understand the speech of the two people participating in my examination. It wasn’t explained, but I believe the other person was in training. In the store I was surprised how noisy it was, but still I could hear people talking much clearer than without the HAs. I decided to purchase but had to first join Costco. I wore the HAs while I was in line at the customer service desk and know I was able to hear what the Costco person said much better than I would have without the aids. I was surprised to learn that Costco did not take Visa or Master Card. They offered an American Express but I declined. I may get the AX card when I go back on Monday to pay and place my order for the Sig 5 HAs. I had a debit card which Costco would accept but didn’t use it. I may use it on Friday but think it a good time to open the AX as my first purchase, after the membership, is almost $2,000 guess that translates to $20 in payback for use of the AX. Costco is new to me, and not near my home, but worth the trip at this point.
