Costco does have some de-featured hearing aid models. But the Kirkland Signature 9/KS9 is not de-featured. You already have all the features.
But if you did have one of Costco’s de-featured hearing aids, currently;
- ReSound Vida / ReSound LiNX 3D 9, SmartFit software locked
- ReSound Preza / ReSound LiNX Quattro 9, SmartFit software locked
then you would not be able to obtain the missing features simply by purchasing a Noahlink Wireless hearing aid programming device. They are locked to a special Costco version of ReSounds fitting software. Many ppl before you have tried, none have succeeded.
