I have 2 recent hearing tests, one from Costco and one from Hearing Aid Solutions using a local Beltone office. Both have indicated a mild to moderate hearing loss, particularly in the high tones. The hearing aid specialist in the local office seemed much more knowledgeable than the Costco representative, but both were ok.
With the Hearing Aid Solutions discount, i could purchase the Resound Linx 3D 7 or the Beltone Legend 9 for about $500 more than the Costco Cala and $1300 more than KS6. They also offered the Resound 3D 5/Beltone Legend 6 for $300 less than the Cala or about $500 more than the KS6.
The warranty is the same at both places, the local dealer would adjust and clean them at no cost for 1 year, as i understand Costco does that for the life of the instrument. (is this a big cost item and should it be factored into the decision?)
If possible i would prefer only using one firm to test HA rather than going to both firms.
Which one of these firms is offering the best quality, thechnology and value for the money?
Shown below are the results of my hearing tests. Thank you for your help.
