Oh no! That’s like saying ‘Candyman’ into the mirror three times. Give him five minutes and he’ll turn up.

Kirigirl, Every brand has people who say they have never heard clearer. Every brand has people who say its a piece of junk. Quality is very subjective here. You are the only determinant. Much about the specifications is marketing hype.

Someone keeps mentioning more channels. Bernafon brags it is channelless. Everyone of them says they have the best this or that. Some believe the hype while others grimace.

The biggest variable can really be the fitter.

All the hearing aid companies do results testing. And they keep doing so until they get the results they want. Digital hearing aids are the hardware developed for lower power in cellphones coupled to formulas the audio engineers have known for many decades. As the processors available become more powerful, the algorithms get enhanced. Yet you will see remarks here from users that say they like their 7 year old aids better.

So, find what YOU think is best and you’re the new expert.

the trax 42 has
42 channels
10 kHz frequency range
ip67 dust/water resistance
better battery life with the optional battery size 13 XM model
4 microphones with spatial control options

You can probably find the comparable Kirkland data on the other forums

do you plan on wearing 2 aids?

I’m looking at the Trex 42 from Costco and when I look at the Rexton website I don’t see the “Trex” listed as a current model … Is this HA an ‘older model’ or simply a rename to be sold thru Costco?

Manufacturers rename the aids they sell through Costco and certain other outlet. Look at the Pure. Many here who have them call them very much the same.

The Rexton Trax 42c at Costco is essentially the Emerald 4c on the Rexton website. Not sure if it’s identical, but if not it’s very close.

I’m looking for an online source for domes, tubes and wax guards Any suggestions? The Trax 42 is relatively new and not listed on the few sites I’ve been able to locate.

Hi there looking to find out if anyone knows where I can get an electronic version of the Rexton Trax 42 hearing aids User guides. Or if anyone know of problems with one aid dying repeatedly.

Thanks everyone for all the info so far. I learnt alot from here so far and it has helped me.
I trialed a KS6 for 2 months and now trialing Trax42. The KS6 setting and features ( auto instead softswitch as default ) made it work like magic for me. thanks everyone here. I think Costco should change their default to Auto.
My experience for KS6: I think they are “very good”. However, I do have problems understanding few people with greater control over bass and volume intensity ( including my boss), Hence I am trialing Trax42.

Now, I need some help in understanding Trax42’s selection of features, programs & fine tuning parameters to revive similar magic :). I am 24 Hours in Trax42 with power double domes.Overall they started good. Here are my observations :

  1. I hear my own speech as echo sometimes.
  2. Yesterday evening, When I was out for walk, the speech of my daughter who was walking besides me sounded garbled most of the times. I was looking front most of times while talking , However If I turn my head a bit toward or away from the front direction, the speech became clear. Anyone has experienced this ? It looks like she was in “specific lobe” where it may be happening.
  3. My KS6 had “Noise fade away” kind of feature where it would reduce the exhaust fan noise after 30 seconds or so, My Trax do not behave like that. The noise keeps ON persistently. Is there anything Audi needs to enable to do this behavior.

Thanks for all replies.

Regards,
TTK.

Only one hearing aid, because the hearing in one ear is unimpaired.
