How to buy hearing aids at Costco

To buy hearing aids from Costco, first make sure your membership is up to date, then book an appointment for a free hearing test. If you’re shopping in a store, you may be able to get tested without an appointment.

A hearing aid professional determines the extent of your hearing loss by doing a series of tests. After testing, the professional fits you for your hearing aids by selecting devices that match your type of hearing loss, the shape of your ear and your lifestyle.

You can choose to buy hearing aids right then or take some time to research the different brands and types that Costco sells. It typically takes Costco two weeks to ship your hearing aids after you order. You can return hearing aids bought at Costco within the 180-day trial period for a full refund.

    I got my free hearing test at Costco, one day in year 2013, I happened to read the sign “free test and consultation” so I stopped by to know my hearing status. I had about 25/30 % loss, I was shocked. They recommended a pair, the name was “Choice” brand. I got them, never regretted. I am still using them today in year 2026, same pair. Great service, very understanding and knowledgeable staff. Got them cleaned and parts changed many-times at costo center at NO cost. Very good service. Thank you Costco Hearing Center.

    I have seen the decline of Costco hearing aid centers. My Jabra20s have been giving me issues for the last 2 year plus 2 months. I have gone for repairs and hearing adjustments for them. Now one was sent back for the 3 times with a dead receiver. They used to come back in a week now I'm waiting 3 weeks for a call from them. That is unacceptable. This brand is rated no 1 yet not for me. I'm wearing my old Kirkland 9 and hear very well them. These are discontinued so when they no longer work I cannot have them fixed. Some reps are terrible and they cut their staffing. The good ones you need a appointment and that can be months when Fla snowbird are here. So costco is slipping the last 2 years for sure.

      Went in for a hearing exam primarily to get baseline results. Best hearing exam ever, even better than those done annually by my employer. Saw some expected age-related hearing loss, but nothing crucial. Tech said hearing aids were optional at this point, primarily if I felt the need. We discussed types and choices for my future reference. I opted not to get aids, but am completely satisfied with the exam, the results, and the service. I will make this an annual visit to ensure good hearing health.

      We are having a terrible experience with Costco hearing aids. We purchased the Jabra enhanced 30 hearing aids and have had nothing but problems since day one. The people are nice enough and always say they’re going to fix them and they just never got them right and now it seems impossible to even get some assistance to get them right. I feel you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for low cost hearing aids and not expecting high-quality product then go to Costco. Otherwise spend the money go to the professionals.

      After a horrible experience at another Costco, I went to Richland and saw Alec. He did a new test and let me try 2 different hearing aids. One was far better and I chose that one. Alec gave me a choice of colors and charged them and made adjustments for my hearing. Super experience compared to the other Costco, which never let me try anything and was extremely rude. I went home with new hearing aids and Alec called me a week later to see how I was getting along with them. I will always go there for any adjustments. Very Professional and super customer care.

      I was not given any options at all. Got Sennheiser Sonite R hearing aids. They were great for 4 months and then they went bad. 3 providers tried to set them and the aids kept either shutting off or changing settings where I could not hear at all. Sent them in for repair and they came back worse than ever. Put them in your ears and within 2 minutes either turning off or going mute. I do not recommend them for hearing aids. One person at Costco said it was my fault for not coming in earlier. 150 mile round trip every time. Go see an Audiologist.

      In general Costco Hearing aids service has been great. Yesterday we drove over 4 hours to get a faulty hearing aid fixed. The lady at the Henderson Costco was very nice. I explained how my left aid was not working right for weeks. She said she would check it out. She was busy with other customers when my wife picked them up so I couldn't ask what was wrong. By the time we got home it was back to beeping and not working again (not the low battery sound).

      I have been using the Costco Hearing Aide Center in Thornton, Colorado for about 3 years now. The customer service used to be excellent, but now it's mediocre at best. Most days there's not even a person at the desk so you have to leave a message and hope they will call you back before the store closes. Good luck. I'm having problems being able to hear. I clean my hearing aides every night and use OTC ear wax removal product 3 nights a week every week. I made an appointment to have them adjusted but the guy (Andrew) I was scheduled with did not even take me out of the waiting area. He claimed he "cleaned them up a bit" and "turned them up a little". I did not notice any difference in my hearing. He told me I could put the Rexton app on my phone and make my own adjustments. NOT HELPFUL! I'm so frustrated.

      The audiologists are always rushed and don't seem to have time to listen to you or help you. I had the first appointment of the day, was about 10 minutes early and sat in the waiting area while he went into a booth. Then he told me to go online and make my own adjustments. I have no idea how to do this. I'm not happy with the care or service at all.

      I purchased hearing aids at Costco, and would highly recommend using them. The hearing specialists there don't work on commission, so you are assured what they suggest is based on your needs, not the cost. I was fortunate to meet Ken **. He took time to answer my questions, and had patience in testing me. I recently had a question about the clarity that seemed to change. I made an appointment to see Ken. He cleaned my aids, put in a filter, & changed the tips. I immediately heard better. It's reassuring to know if I need an adjustment in the future, there isn't any charge. This is a Costco policy. I appreciate Ken's help.

      My experience with Costco Hearing Center has not been positive. I am on my 4th pair of hearing aids in 6 years and I still struggle with hearing people. I can be at a public place and cannot hear the person sitting right beside me. I am skeptical as to the capabilities of the people Costco gets as audiologists. My latest person came from another hearing aide company and her attitude has been terrible. I have been threatened and bullied into accepting my current Jabra hearing aides. I am frustrated and trying to find support on line has been impossible. I live in Canada and unfortunately getting help from Costco or Jabra has been futile. I would never recommend Anyone to but from Costco Hearing Center. It has been an expensive lesson.

      The Jabra Enhance Pro is such low quality it’s frustrating. They used to carry a good line. Not sure what happened. Many of the features don’t work on the hearing aids. The tech even said some features advertised don’t work. Whoever thought the bulky charging station was a good idea has never used hearing aids themselves. When you take them out at night, when it’s late and you are about to fall asleep, you have to get up and find the charging station. The batteries in my aids before these low-quality ones were by far a better option. If my aids aren’t charged, you have to plug in the station and wait for them to finish charging. With the batteries, there is no waiting. Seconds to change batteries. A huge step backwards to go from batteries to a charging station. Very bulky to take anywhere. Not sure why Costco lost the Phonak line, but a big step down to go to the Jabra brand.

      They are nothing but disrespectful and rude. They claim they called to remind me of my appointment but according to my app which tracks every call I receive they did not. The person wanted to take my phone and check, a BIG no and a huge red flag. NEVER hand an employee your phone! That’s one way people get scammed! If Costco actually identified themselves on Caller ID more people wouldn’t have these problems.

      They kept me waiting over 20 minutes even though there were 2 technicians not doing anything and no other customers. Had they even bothered to say something like we’ll be with you shortly I would’ve cut them some slack, but they simply ignored me. Then they refused a hearing test due to wax, a very small amount mind you. Absolutely ridiculous. Then I was told I had to wait another 3 weeks. Again, zero care or concern for the customer. The corporate greed machine strikes again. Pay the money to see a REAL doctor who will provide quality service and not an hourly technician who cares less about you.

      I have had a Costco membership since 2012. A family of two, my wife and I do not spend a lot at Costco. But overall, I can count on Costco for high quality produce, other prepared food and cooking supplies, and clothing. I tried hearing aids in the late 1990s. A well-known company. The hearing aids were ineffective and very expensive. They went into a drawer – where they remain – almost unused. When I heard about Costco Hearing, I had a spark of optimism. I have been hearing impaired since 1969. I was at a disadvantage in almost all group setting during conversation. I do have great wireless headphones for television listening, but that cuts me off from communicating with others in the same room as we share television and movies together.

      I went to Costco Hearing at Dartmouth Crossing in early February of this year. As I filled out an application form, I watched and listened to the many things going on in the fairly crowded waiting room. Customers bringing in a hearing aid because a wire broke. Getting their free disposable accessories needed for hearing aid maintenance. Technicians coming out immediately – yes, immediately - to help out customers who needed support. And a couple of employees on the phones doing the kind of job of taking calls and providing information and booking appointments at a skill level that was almost awe-inspiring.

      I handed in my application and asked about wait times. One of the phone workers turned to me and said that she had just gotten a cancellation and there was an opening for the next day at 12:45. And I met Martin ** who was to handle the assessment of my badly damaged hearing, explain what Costco could provide, some technical information in common terms, and on February 22 I returned to pick up my hearing aids. He was every friendly and attentive. He made certain I understood how the new hearing aids worked and how to maintain them, and I was soon to learn as I left and returned home and spent the next couple of days doing the things I usually did that the new hearing aids had changed my world for the better.

      I returned home today from the one-month re-assessment interview, which went quickly because my hearing aids had performed far beyond my expectations. I do not need a remote, or blue-tooth connectivity. My lifestyle is mostly simple and uncomplicated. And the quality of life has been improved incredibly. Martin, who does not earn a commission, but is on salary – as are his co-workers – was a treat to deal with. He recalled details from our two previous sessions. We chatted about many other topics of common interest. There was a warmth and true concern that I receive the very best service that could be provided. And I have no doubt at all that Costco has ensured that all of Martin’s co-workers are of the same superior quality as I have always found in my purchases from the warehouse adjacent to the Hearing operation.

      Been a hearing wearing aids for about 25-30 years. Gave up on the local aid "sellers" and bought several aids online saving $1000 with decent results. When Costco started selling aids I became a regular customer. Best hearing evaluation and hearing test I have ever had was at Costco none. None of my local aid sellers was even close. Only time I jumped ship was when I had problems with aids I bought from Costco was with a first generation rechargeable aids. Returned for a refund and bought aids online paying about $1000 more than the aids I returned.

      Now I am going to upgrade my aids to try the latest aids with AI. I will be using Costco even though I will have to drive about 80 miles to get to my nearest Costco. The difference is worth the drive and time. To be fair our Daughter and her husband live in Tomball Tx so can use her local Costco for adjustments and repairs during our regular visits if needed.

      Absolutely love my Kirkland hearing aids that I purchased about 3 years ago. And the 312 batteries that Costco sells are the best value around. However, they recently changed the packaging from the flat card 6-pack of 8 batteries each to a box containing the same amount. They are packaged differently - CHILD PROOF. This is an issue, because most folks wearing hearing aids are of the older generation, myself included. I find it almost impossible to open the packaging to get out a hearing aid, much less two of them. While it's great they made it child proof, they also made it old person proof. NOT A GOOD MOVE. My suggestion is that they offer both versions. What I have to end up doing is completely tearing the packaging apart and extracting all eight batteries then storing them loosely in a drawer..

      I've been using Costco Hearing Center now for over 15 years. I'm on my 3rd set of hearing aids from them, having just been tested and fitted for a set of the Jabra 20 PRO battery replaceable model in August 2024. The staff has changed over the years, but, over-all, the service and commitment to the customer is still alive and well.

      I've felt that who does the hearing test, fitting and most importantly, tweaking settings and resolving issues, after your purchase, can vary depending on who does that phase of getting you set up for a great experience. None of the staff are true audiologists, but, the over-all expertise and certifications the Costco techs have should be ample for you and also save you much cost over going to a professional audiologist and hearing center. The brands and models Costco has are amongst the best rated available. The mix they offer for in, behind and invisible hearing aids, based on your degree of hearing loss, is excellent.

      My only gripe is due to Costco Hearing becoming so popular now, getting in sometimes for an issue or need to have your programs adjusted, can take 2-3X the time it did compared to my previous set of hearing aids. Be prepared for that, but, your individual Hearing Center may be better or worse, depending on how well staffed they are and the size of their client base as well as if some of the staff have been there for several years or more and know the ropes, so-to-speak. I always try to schedule my visits with the senior staff member there who is basically, in charge of staff. They have the most knowledge and expertise to address making adjustments to your programs and avoiding too many return visits to get things right!

      With free hearing tests at Costco (which back for my first set of hearing aids there, compared perfectly to another hearing test I had done by a pro audiologist at my local hospital), no additional charges for follow-up appointments of supplies for your hearing aids (domes, wax guards, support stems, now receivers and/or tubes, etc), the over-all investment you will make will be much less than a professional Hearing Center. Those stand-alone Hearing Centers, unlike Costco, typically charges you for anything done or purchased following the purchase of your new hearing aids. It adds up quickly. 4 hearing aid sets ago, I used my local Hospital's hearing center for hearing aids and it was 2X the cost of Costco! You've got nothing to lose, I suggest trying Costco and getting your free hearing test, but, also to get a professional audiology hearing test done as well to compare results and confirm where you stand for your loss of hearing.

      First time purchasing a hearing aid and Costco has disappointed me twice (in three visits) with their unprofessional follow ups and lack of expertise. My initial visit went perfectly, I picked out the hearing aid and was given a follow up appointment in two weeks to pick up the device. The appointment date and time was written down on a business card with the employee’s name on the other side. I show up for my appointment and Costco does not have me on the schedule that day to pick up my hearing aid. Where did my appointment go??? They fit me in after waiting an hour and I leave with my hearing aid. A follow up in a few weeks was also scheduled for any questions or concerns.

      I show up for my follow up and my audiologist is not in. When I tell the new audiologist my concerns with the device, she doesn’t seem to agree with what the previous audiologist told me about how the device was set up (what is a bigger concern, volume or clarity was the question the initial audiologist asked me). I asked for it to be set up for volume but meanwhile clarity has become the main concern. The employee tells me that the device keeps powering off and she can’t connect it to her computer. I tell her that I charged it last night for a few hours and again for 5 hours the morning of my appointment. She tells me that it appears to be defective and that Costco was replace the entire hearing aid.

      I agree with her (I had a few issues with it powering off since I had it) and then she tells me that she will call me when the new hearing aid has arrived. What?? Why am I waiting weeks for the replacement of a defective hearing aid. First you “lose my appointment” then you tell me contradicting info about my initial set up and now I have to wait weeks for a replacement because it is defective. This is going on 7 weeks now and I’m still not properly set up with my $1600 hearing aid purchase. This should have been replaced on the spot and not make me wait weeks for a replacement.

      Hi. I am disappointed. I have been using average hearing aids, for 12 years, and I don't understand the ranking of these. To tell you, if we pay attention: Sound lags in time, over sound in some of the field and lower sound in some of the channel. Has a example in the car, I listen to music (which was really undefined and unclear), I could hear some of the sound louder like air flow through the doors, bumps on the road. But not the ringing bell. The unlock seatbelt or when I put the fan on for defrosting the windows. I couldn't hear it. So what I did, I put my old 2 different company provider hearing aid. I try with the same aspect of sound and noises. Well I was simply amazed by the accuracy of the old one. So for a couple of hundred dollars more, let's get the well-known hearing aid companies we do forget: the quality of sound he s quality of life.

      I (along with others) have been trying to get my dad to get hearing aids for the last 8 years. Finally got him to this Costco in Florida and he hasn’t looked back. Marlene was simply amazing, her energy was so positive and contagious. She was totally patient, efficient and a caring professional.

      The hearing aids sold by Costco are a very good value and I am generally happy with the device I purchased (Jabra Enhance 10). I am not happy with the personnel in my Costco Hearing Aid Center (Plano West, Texas). They do not listen to my issues, are generally unhelpful, it is difficult to schedule with them, and their general attitude I get is they definitely look down their noses at their customers (clients). I would not recommend this Costco for purchasing a hearing aid because of the audiology personnel in the Hearing Aid Center.

      Buying them not issue. Getting them cleaned and service is the issue. Called set appointment. Explained problem of left hearing aid not working. Needed both cleaned while had them. Got there did not know about left hearing aid not working. Explained again. Left them,shopped while waited. Come back was told hearing aids where cleaned. I asked about left one not working. Acted like first they heard about it. Girl came out said they worked fine she checked them. I explained the left hearing aid did not have volume. I tried it did not have volume. She stated well we are under AC it makes lot of noise. That why you can't hear. So came in with low volume on left hearing aid and left with low volume on hearing aid. A year later have low volume on hearing aid. Can't afford new one.

      I have had the worse experience with the Hearing Aid department on Costco. They do not tell you that they are not audiologists until after you buying the hearing aids. I ended up making 4 visits before buying the hearing aid. What they don't tell you is that if the hearing aid when you receive it is not working for you e.g it doesn't provide any hearing advantage they will re-do it for 2 years. So you are stuck with a bad hearing aid. They do not tell you this before you buy. They make it seem that they will fix anything before you buy.

      I helped my mom, who lives with me, purchase hearing aids at Costco hearing aid center in Pleasant Prairie, WI. They hearing aid agreement included one free replacement for each ear. In April of 2022, my mom lost her right hearing aid. I filed a claim for a replacement for the one right ear. When it came in, I picked up the one right ear aid for her and signed the paper work which I thought showed the original model number and the new replacement model number. Things were fine, as far as I was aware.

      In January 2023, my mom now one-hundred years old, lost her left hearing aid while staying at my sisters for one week. When I called Costco to report this, they said that I already picked up a right and left hearing aid back in April, 2022. I told them I only needed the right aid replaced and that the right aid was all I received when I picked up the replacement. They said they had placed her order as needing two aids, left and right and that I signed for two new hearing aids. They may have ordered a right and left, but I only received the right. Well, that was all I had asked to be replaced to begin with.

      When I took a closer look at the copy of my paperwork from that day, I then saw where they claimed they replace two hearing aids and not just the one right ear hearing aid that I actually received. Because I did not look close enough at the paper work, I was unaware of Costco claiming they gave me two. I know I only received the one, but because I didn’t look close enough on the paperwork, there was nothing they could do. I called the hearing aid manager and the store manager. I asked if they had surveillance cameras, because it would clearly show through the clear plastic packaging, that there was only one hearing aid in it. He said the store's camera surveillance tape info didn’t go back that far. They also couldn’t use cameras in the hearing aid department due to Hipaa laws. The store manager felt bad for me but said there was nothing more he could do.

      I do not know who the left hearing aid was given to, but it certainly was not us. They had to know there was only one hearing aid in the box when they processed her order, yet said nothing to me pointing out that they wrote down that both hearing aids were being replaced on the paper they had me sign. They never reviewed what was actually on the paperwork and what I was signing. I never had a reason to think it would be different from what I had requested and received at the time of the pick up. I have been a Costco customer for several years and never had a problem with anything before. I am extremely disappointed. This is not the kind of customer service I expected from a company like Costco. A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER.

      I am a customer of COSTCO's Hearing Center in Deerfield Township, Ohio. I have no problems with the courtesy and knowledgeability of the staff. Nor do I have a problem with the hearing aids when they are working. However, over the years, either one hearing aid or the other malfunctions. When the fix one, the other conks out. Last month, I brought in the right hearing aid for repair. After it came back it stopped charging when I placed it in the charger overnight. So they said that maybe I needed a new charger and said they would order one which would be in "within a week". Well, that was a month ago. Every time I call, I am told "any day now" I still don't have it. This has adversely affected my work. I am an attorney, and listening and hearing are vital to my doing my job well. I have told the Center's staff that.

      As stated, the audiologist was very knowledgeable, attentive and helpful. Programming is top notch. This was a replacement of the 9.0 as I chalk it up to mandatory masks for losing the previous. Program's clarity is better than the 9.0, but I chalk that up to the audiologist. My only negative is the charge life. When fully charged, I barely get one day on the original program, less when I boost the power for meetings, movies, etc. In addition, the induction charging is flaky... Hearing aid will say fully charged, but sometimes, an hour later I am under 50% battery life. So, for the price, I can give it 4 stars. 5+ for service and 4 minus for battery life and the hit and miss charger. You can do a lot worse.

      In August 2022 I got Rexton BiCore hearing aids at Costco. My first pair which I got there several years ago (Kirkland 8.0) still worked fine, but I wanted to upgrade to rechargeable (to use them more with my iPhone) & telecoil (to hear better at concerts and plays). The Rextons were a little more expensive than the Kirkland 10.0, but reviews said they had better battery life, and the charger was much smaller. I wanted maximum battery life so I could more frequently stream audio from my iPhone and iPad.

      After I got them it took 3 more visits back to Costco to get them sounding and fitting to my satisfaction, but that wasn’t any different than my previous pair. The service I get at Costco is great, the technician I always work with is friendly and knowledgeable. About the only thing I would improve if I could regarding Costco’s service, is being able to get an appointment more quickly.

      The hearing aids themselves work nicely. They are comfortable and the sound quality is good, although they don’t seem to do a better job of helping me decipher speech in challenging situations - but I wasn’t expecting they would. I’ve never tried using them for more than a day on a single charge, but so far I haven’t had any trouble with battery life. The charger is easy to use if it’s kept plugged in, but it was tricky at first to figure out how to get it to work from its internal battery - the charger manual isn’t well written.

      The iPhone app is easy to use and somewhat useful, though I wish it could do more fine adjustments independently for each ear. You certainly can get by without it. The hearing aids do pair with my iPhone and iPad through Accessibility settings, but switching between the two is often glitchy. I contacted Rexton and Apple about this. Rexton blamed Apple, and Apple backed that up, saying they are aware of the issue and it should be improved in the next major iPhone/iPad update. Rexton email support has been helpful and quick to respond.

      I'm preparing to purchase my third set of hearing aids in the past 15 years. Based upon my personal experience I am better off purchasing Costco hearing aids, instead of from a private supplier. I did the latter about 15 years ago with two major benefits that Costco does not offer, 1. Free batteries for life & 2. At their request periodic hearing check-ups and adjustments with the aids. Now in all fairness, Costco will do #2, however in Tucson you need to book weeks or months in advance. My second set just gave out on year six since the Costco purchase. I'm told at Costco that ReSound won't do repairs after 5 years and quite frankly that makes no sense unless they have determined that a hearing aid is not repairable.

      A couple of years ago I sent one to ReSound with a bad connecting wire, paid a little over $100 for the service and it worked fine for another three years. The 'no repair' policy after 5 years, in my opinion, is a method for ReSound and/or Costco to sell more hearing aids. Regardless, Costco will still be my choice for the new pair simply because my first pair from the 'Brand X' store was $5,000, my second set from Costco was half that price and it had more features, and my new pair will be $1,800. I see pricing at the Costco Hearing Centers at about half that of the other suppliers.

      I have worn hearing aids for many years and got my $5K pair from an ENT group. They were never that great yet I didn’t know it! That’s because I had nothing to compare them to. One stopped working about a year ago and it cost $500 to fix it. Then both mics in them stopped working. No way was I going to pay $1000 to fix them. So I looked around for another pair. Everyone recommended Costco so I made an appointment. Had to wait 2 months to get in. Anyway, the audiologist at the Avon IN store was simply outstanding. She really knew everything and that’s not a statement I say a lot. Professional and friendly. Got my aids about 2 weeks later and, WOW, I could hear again! Better than when I first got the other pair. No contest. I got the Kirkland KS10s. Highly recommended. Oh, and Costco? Give that audiologist a much-deserved raise or bonus.

      I'll make this short and to the point. I just replaced a pair of nearly $6,000 hearing aids with one of the five brands Costco carries. I had my previous hearing aids for about 7 years and they stopped working. I chose the Jabra Enhance Pro PM's, being familiar with the brand from owning a few Jabra headphones. GN bought Jabra and manufactures the hearing aids. GN also has been making the high quality high end ReSound brand of hearing aids for many years. The hearing test I took at Costco showed the same type of hearing loss from a test I took at my audiologist some years back.

      I ordered the Jabras and went back to Costco two weeks later for the fitting. I am incredibly satisfied with their performance. I saved a few thousand dollars buying these at Costco and am very pleased after wearing these for a few days. All in all, the Costco choice of hearing aids, the price and the service and care for my hearing was top notch. A special shout out to Ashley who was my hearing aid specialist at the Costco in San Dimas, CA.
