This question is for my husband. He is considering buying the Jabra Enhance Pro from Costco. He originally went to a private audiologist who suggested the More 1 at $6700 for the pair. He did like it.
Then he went to Costco who suggested the Jabra ($1799.99) or the Philips Hearlink 9030. He tried the Jabra in the store and also liked it. He felt that he heard relatively equivalently between the More 1 and the Jabra but slightly preferred the Jabra (without considering price at all). The Philips unit they had was broken so he couldn’t trial it.
He spends a lot of time using his computer as well as his iPhone so the bluetooth capabilities are important to him. Also being able to better hear me (or another person) when we talk is also important to him.
Researching the Jabra I found this forum and found discussion of M&RIE while some had RIE. He called Costco and found that they were using RIE with him because they indicated that he was not a good candidate for M&RIE based upon his test result. I attach a copy of his test result from Costco and the private evaluation.
Would appreciate any feedback on if RIE is best for him and if there are any other alternatives that might be better than the Jabra. To be clear, he is happy with the Jabra and ready to order it but want to make sure there are not other options he should pursue. While he liked the More 1, he didn’t prefer it to the Jabra (slightly preferred Jabra) and the cost difference is substantial.2021-07-01 Audiological Report_Redacted.pdf (1.8 MB) Costco 2021-08-06 Audiological Evaluation_Redacted.pdf (1.0 MB)
