I am 58 now and had my first appointment at 57. I tried Costco, a small, locally owned chain of hearing aid stores (but with no degreed Audiologists) and a center with 5 degreed Audiologists. The center with the Audiologists did the most complete testing and they were the most thorough and the best equipped, but they were also the most expensive – and by a lot. I was very impressed by the care I got at my local Costco. It was between the other two. Everyone involved recommended essentially the same thing – Phonak P90’s or the Costco clone (which is no longer available). Prices ranged from $1500 at Costco to $7200 at the center with the degreed Audiologists. I am glad that I tested out all the options. I am also glad I went with Costco.
