9050 is simply the top level of the 50 series. They go 50, 70, 90, and Costco only carries the 9050.

I talked to an HCP at the local Costco hearing aid center today. They were both aware of the Phillips 9050s and confirmed that they were coming soon.

Iām curious how you know that it is a lower level. I thought Costco only carries the top level.

He didnāt say that. 9050 is the top level of the 50 series. Was at Costco today and they confirmed that they are available starting today. Person I talked to said the main difference from previous model was that they charged more quickly. Hopefully there are more improvements than that.

I donāt remember charging time. Perhaps 1 1/2 hrs? Not at all sure. However partial charging times is what could really matter. If one can get several hours worth of use off of 10 or 15 minutes of charging, that could add a lot of flexibility.

Do I understand you to say they do not have Behind the Ear styles of the 9050 available? Is that just the stock at your store? Are they only selling in ear molds?
Yes they have the receiver in the canal not the one with the hook that needs the custom molds with thick tubing
