What company will make the next Costco hearing aids?

I think I’m using the latest version — 6.2.3 updated on October 28.

Just tried again.
no problem.

Think about he KS9 and KS10.
Top of the line Phonak aids
Costco sold both Phonak and their KS aids.
Go figure.

Yeah I thought about that as well, but only time will tell.

Clarification: The current Jabra Enhance Pro 10 is similar to the Omnia. I don’t see them becoming the next Kirkland model either.

My understanding is that they switched to the Jabra branding because the Bernafon branding was not selling well at Costco. Capturing a KS model would increase their sales for at least a year or 2.

I assume “Jane’s” is a typo, maybe for Jabra? Jabra is new name for Resound. Phillips replaced Bernafon.

Sorry. Stoopid autocorrect.
You are correct, of course. They replaces Bernafon branding with Phillips.

The Oticon Own is a In-Ear hearing aid.
No RIC or BTE variants, but it does use the Polaris Chip, so same tech as More (or less).

My $$$ for Costco is on Mattell!!
Barbie & Ken for the family, at Kirkland low prices!!

@flashb1024: So, the answer is Yes!

(Re: Costco: Is that because , when Ken suggested to Barbie that they make little Legos together, she said “Why don’t you stick it in your ear”?)

EasyLine finds my Phonak Audeo M90-R, but a pop-up says they are not compatible.

I ordered Philips HL 9030 from Costco last week. Is this the latest generation from Oticon or an older model

No. It’s not an Oticon white label as such. It has the same chip as the Oticon OPN S but it’s firmware and algorithms have been more derived from Bernafon - a sister company of Oticon or the Sonic Enchant. There is a big thread on the Phllips 9030 - it’s launch and subsequent speculation over it’s make up and design, if you search for it.

I’m not cheap, wear the Philips Hearlink aids and like them a lot, and am highly offended by this post!

Cheap in meaning may be more offensive for Americans than Canadians or British. !!

Another good thread getting derailed by off topic posts.
Moderation needed.

Woah there, careful with your words. Bernafon engineers are not cheap. they are highly specialized people there, they cost Demant millions of dollars each year after trying to develop a solution, Did you know the Speech rescue was developed by Bernafon engineers, not oticon engineer…

@Raudrive: I have already flagged my own post and referred it to the attention of @rasmus_braun . I will happily make any changes he indicates to me, or accept its deletion, should he decide that a bit of off-topic jocularity is inappropriate.
