Review: ReSound Forte FT861-DRW (Costco) vs. Oticon OPN1

Called my local Costco. They too do Real Ear Measurement in fitting. I was told too that the guaranteed support period was FIVE YEARS. After that, “the device is obsolete” and “the manufacturer won’t support it.”

One attraction of going to Costco is the Hearing Aid Center is open 7 days a week. I guess I hate to see everything become Big Box but the economics certainly drives things that way. Now when is Amazon going to start selling HA’s (with Alexa programmed into them!).

One also gets a slight discount on buying the Multi Mic and the Phone Clip+ through Costco. I was quoted $266 and $209, respectively. They have to be Special Ordered, though.
