Just to report on my Rexton Quintra 2c experience – I have been testing top of the line HAs over the last 6 months - Widex Dream 440, Siemens Micon Pure 7, Phonak Audeo Q90. I was unimpressed with the Widex, the other two were decent – better than what I have now (Phonak Audeo Smart IX) but not sure if the upgrade is worth $5,000. I too think that the Phonak software has hard time to decide which program to choose.
After reading many posts on this forum, I decided to try Costco’s Rexton Quintra 2c, picked them up last week. 90 days return policy, whats not to like. I have to say that so far they seem to be equivalent to the Siemens and the Phonak, not better but not worse either, and they cost half of the price of the other three. I still need to stress-test them in noisy environments but if I had to choose today, I would go with the Quintra. I am also going to test Phonak Naida + Roger pen (that may help in restaurants), will report on them in a week or two.
