Oticon Real 1 vs Philips Hearlink 9040 (huge price difference)

So, @withoutwings, your conclusion is that Costco and William Demant never stopped selling Bernafon. They simply engaged in an elaborate shell game in which they made a very public display of discontinuing Bernafon but then reintroduced it under the guise of a Philips label, accompanied by detailed marketing materials which make it appear to be a different product when in reality it has simply been the next generations of Bernafon hearing aids all along? Looks like they have very successfully fooled a lot of people and have increased sales in the process.

I think Demant certainly did a much better job at masking it than GN did with the Jabra aids. And good for them, though if I am correct I imagine they won’t appreciate my posts here on the subject (noting that I’m not the first to say it)!
