That’s good to hear, z10user2. I am going to hope these last as long as possible and thank you for the insight.
Thanks for the commiseration, Xooterpust. I paid way too much, and I got very little care, so I’m definitely going to go the Costco route. There’s one about 45 minutes away. Elsewhere here I recounted my experience with my audiologist, who was…not good…and found out that Costco was selling a very similar device for about $2500 a pair, versus what I paid. I think I may have cried when I found out.
Thanks for the information about TruHearing. The issue I had…and continue to have…is that nearly every place is open 10 to 4, Monday through Thursday where I live. (It’s Florida and basically the only customers have…all the time in the world to make an appointment in the middle of the day? Insert skeptical eyebrow here). No Friday and no weekends, and since I’m 49, I am still working and those hours…won’t do it for me. At least Costco is open later and every day. But as I noted above, I am not going to be in the market for what I hope…pray?..will be a very long time to come. It’s mostly all about the money, you know?
But I love my hearing aids, and I also get a good laugh (at my own expense?) when I ask people how much they paid for their first car…and then say, “Well, that’s about what I paid for these” and point to my aids. (I am a little weird.)
