What’s the newest most advanced COSTCO hearing aid?

I’ve had Kirkland K10s 3 1/2 yrs now. Is it time to upgrade or should I keep these for awhile longer?

I am keeping my KS 10s until my local COSTCO in Superior, CO gets the Sennhiser R hearing aids in stock. I want to stick with something Phonak makes because of their Bluetooth implementation.

Well they are all premium latest models, but the “very” latest is Jabra Pro 30, a rebranded ReSound Vivia model, there’s no harm in checking out what Costco has in store.

I’ve never really understood why bluetooth is more important then what the HAs can deliver in other areas, music and noisy environments are usually top consideration, at the moment the the Sennhiser are older tech based on the Lumity platform, better to wait until Costco offers the Phonak sphere as a rebranded Sennhiser.

I had the same question about 6 months ago and the Costco specialist told me that it was unlikely that any available at that time would be a significant improvement. Love honesty. They did send my KS10s in for refurb, needed new batteries, and when those aids came back the firmware had been updated and they were/are awesome. In every way and in all settings far better. I will keep on looking but like you I prefer Phonak.

I’ve trialed the Sennheiser here in Illinois. They were very good. I have K10s now. My K10s have the coil in them and the Sennheiser do not offer that. Thought I’d just use my K10s for that. Drawback was they both use the same app. I was hoping I could use both K10s and Sennheiser when/how I needed to. Using the same app makes it more cumbersome. Wish there was another app to use with the Sennheiser then I’d most likely purchase them. But have to consider this because I do use the coil whenever possible. I have a landline which works great with the coil!

I believe you can use the Phonak app for one of the aids (myPhonak) in play store.

You might also try … All-Day Clear app from sennheiser, that might also work .

Thank you. I have K10s from Costco and I don’t think I can use the MyPhonak app for them although I haven’t tried that. Same for the Sennheiser’s. I’ll look into the All-Day Clear app but problem is I returned the Sennheiser’s already. I had sent the question to Phonak and to Sennheiser and they both told me each of the aids from Costco use the same app (the EasyLine app). They responded there is no other choice!

I’ve got the KS9s and Sennheiser aids. KS9 uses my phonac app just fine. Sennheiser use Easy Line app.
