Thank you for your feed back and no worries, none taken ha I just like my flip cell ha the Jabra was push on me,so i was not offer any other aid to try,I did mention the K10s but the Costco guy said no, it will not work for you,so the Jabra he said was the best,he said he has had no returns on them.
These kind of situations are tricky when the provider has such strong feelings. I can’t think of any technical issue why Jabras would be suitable and KS10 not, but with this provider I think you’re much better off with the Jabras. If you did convince him to try the KS10, I suspect he’d give up pretty easy if you wanted adjustments (I told you they wouldn’t work) and he should be willing to put in more effort to maintain his record of no returns with the Jabra.
I’d be tempted to ask for another provider and then ask all the questions over again. I was about to say hand him his first return on them, but they are good aids, why cut off the nose to spite the face? But I’d feel more comfortable with a more balanced opinion.

Yeah - as was mentie, I might suggest visiting a different HIS there. The refusal to fit you is rediculous. It is not their choice as they do not know how you hear. I think making suggestions is good, but not telling you outright…
Thanks,I think you are right,I will see someone else,even a different Costco!
Multiple Costco’s would only fit me with the Jabra if I wanted a RIC type aid. They said I wouldn’t be happy with any other RIC type with my loss, even with power receivers.
Multiple Costco’s also said that they had to many returns on the KS for people with severe to profound loss. Which lead me to believe they were more concerned with having a return ding them, then they were to correctly fit me. I may be wrong but I called 2 other Costco’s and had them review my audiogram and all said the only RIC aid they would offer would be the Jabra.
Interesting. The KS10 receivers fitting range seems adequate. I wonder if it isn’t more of an issue of the fitting software reducing gain to the highs when running the feedback management program.
Well that is disappointing,I have mild to severe hearing loss,I have another appointment on the 27 I will see what she will say,thanks for your input,
I have the KS 10s and switch to speaker on my phone anytime my voice doesn’t sound right to someone or I want to share the conversation.
I am late getting back. I found the double tap problematic. Too easily triggered especially as I wear glasses. I just push the up button. Last week I was on hold for over an hour and was able to work under my car while waiting. I couldn’t have done that without being hands free.
I have the Kirkland Signature 10’s, rechargeable. I hate rechargeables, (see thread on are rechargables reliable). I’m upgrading to the Jabra Enhance Pro20 with battery but I loved the fader ability of the KS 10. It allowed you to choose the balance ( fade) between internal and external sound, IE, listening to a book while mowing the lawn was great!! 90% internal sound from the audio book and 10% sound from the mower.
I’ll miss that with the Jabra. They have a preset adjustment but not user adjustable.
The Jabra app has two sliders for volume – one for what’s streaming to your ears & one for surroundings.
Sounds like just what you’re after. I hope you like ‘em – I’ve been very pleased, tho’ the sound is “sharper” than KS10/Phonak.
My partner went from the KS10s to the Jabra EP 20s and prefers the sound. She told me she can hear a lot better. We both have them on Samsung Galaxy S23 and S24. We use the ASHA protocol which is stable buth you need the phone in your hand on calls. Sound does go to your HAs however. One UI 7 is supposed to fix the hands free issue with working LE Audio around the end of the year.
That isnt what i see in my app. Do you have the new Pro 20’s? My old Resound One’s, same as Jabra Pro have both sliders in the app, but my new 20’s use the phones volume for the streaming volume and then the one (and only) slider in the app controls outside volume. Just mentioning since it may depend on what model Jabra one has.
My apologies! I have the older Jabras – very surprised they took that away…
-kate.
Yea, its not a good app update at all for the 20’s. Besides the phone streaming slider change it also places my TV Streamer at the bottom of the app in its own window, instead of being a separate program. It looks like someone gave up half way thru updating so really it comes across half ass, see pic
UGLY! Hopefully an app update is coming soon…
I called Jabra and they claimed this is an improvement. I wanted to find out if this hack job of an update is working as designed and that the layout was correct and they confirmed it was. I told them from a user standpoint, its a down grade and is counter intuitive, unlike prior. They didnt seem very interested in my point of view.
I should add that when iI pair my Resound One’s, the app looks as it did before, 2 sliders and TV Streamer/Micro Mic as a separate program, even though im using the same Jabra app. I csn do the same with the Resound app and my One’s have the old layout and the Jabra’s show the new layout
There’s always this explanation as to why you don’t need a streaming volume control in the HA app itself; your device provides a hardware/software streaming volume control that’s available everywhere, not just in your HA app:
