Any experiences with Sams vs Costco when buying hearing aids? Costco seems to do vastly more business, but in my case Sams is much closer. Has anyone compared their service, prices and the models the carry?
Thanks!
Costco’s selection of hearing aids is superior. Not even close.

Given the rate at which Sams is closing stores this year, you’d do well to consider your (limited) maintenance, programming, and checkup options if your nearby Sams were to shut its doors . Costco seems to be doing much better, so it might be worth the longer drive. And I strongly agree with AdamsHouseCat that Costco’s line is vastly superior.
Ditto on Costco. Multiple brands vs Sam’s one store brand. 181 day return policy, great warranty, free supplies at Costco. No comparison.
I purchased Liberty SIE 96 Hearing Aids on March 30th 2018. They have been a nightmare for me. Last week I purchased a pair of Kirkland hearing aids from Costco and it is like a miracle. My original pair of hearing aids were made by ReSound which I purchased from Costco. I never had a problem with those hearing aids until I lost one and they were over five years old and could not be replaced. Personally I do not believe the Kirkland hearing aids are actually hearing aids they behave and sound more like hearing amplifiers. I’m going to try and get my money refunded. The cost of my hearing aids from Sam’s Club was $4,599.66. The cost of my Kirkland hearing aids were $1,599.00 on 3/1/2019. Costco Hearing Aids have a better warranty and a longer time to return a new pair then does Sam’s Club. Customer service at Sam’s Club was atrocious for me. The only reason I did not purchase from Costco the second time is that I could not get an appointment with them for almost 3 months.
The current Kirkland 8.0 is indeed a hearing aid. It is the Signia Nx.
Yes, it’s also like the Rexton 80 8c.
The Kirkland pair I purchased are made by Rexton 8.0. I have barely had them for a week and warn them everyday all day and have not had any issues. I’m going in this week to test out the Bluetooth accessory that goes with these
