Went to Costco today to get fitted for hearing aids after 2 years or battling noticeable loss. For context my entire family seemingly had some degree of hearing loss, I am in my 30s and have moderate loss in high frequencies and pretty bad tinnitus despite no severe auditory trauma in my past (that I can recall). I’ve always tried to be cautious with my hearing but alas….
The fitting went great! At first they put me in a pair of Rexton Reach but the sound felt tinny, almost like it was coming through a broken speaker. She then had me try on a pair of the Phillips 9050 and speech sounded far more natural and clear to my ears. I go to pick them up and do my final fitting/adjustment tomorrow!
I will be keeping this log as an inventory of my own progress and to hopefully to give folks some more insight into the Phillips 9050s. I didn’t do a bunch of research going into this, so advice and guidance from seasoned users is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
