Costco Hearing Aids Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

Long Story, but we had problems with replacing a hearing aid destroyed by family dog, twice. First time Costco was great about replacing the HAs at no cost. They did not cover the second incident. And we have no complaint with that. However, Costco was completely unhelpful in ordering a new aid. They required us to make three trips to the store. The patient is wheelchair bound, making it difficult to travel 120 miles per round trip. Costco would not budge. We decided to use a local provider, and I am so happy that we did even though it cost us more money. We had to replace both aids as opposed to just replacing one aid at Costco.

I've had my Rexton hearing aids for a couple months. I've had nothing but problems. To be fair, the aids seem to be working now, but they won't connect with my iPhone app. So controlling them is a huge issue. The charger stopped working after a couple weeks. I had to make an appointment to turn it in and get a new one. Two weeks for the next appointment. So no hearing aids for two weeks. Costco Hearing Center canceled appointments, rescheduled appointments. Right now I'm awaiting an appointment that is two weeks out to simply read a QR Code with my phone. Costco Hearing is really frustrating - I expected better of Costco.

I've been a customer of the Costco Hearing Aid Store in West Springfield for three years. The product is superb, the cost is even better and, best of all, is the service that people like Richard ** offers. Couldn't be happier.

I've been wearing devices for six years, and they have greatly improved my hearing. About five months ago I switched to Costco; hence, enough time with my new devices to honestly recommend the Medicine Hat Costco and the Rexton hearing aids. First Costco has a selection of high-quality hearing aids to select from. I switched to Rexton's and I appreciate their performance, rechargeable batteries, and many of their App features. Second Costco had excellent prices (over 50% less from my previous clinic). Third, a big shout out to the staff: Receptionist Sheri's helpful positive attitude, and Tiffany's friendly and relaxed manner while using her knowledge to test, set up, and educate me on achieving the most out of my devices.

I am using my 3rd set of hearing aids from Costco. They are Kirkland Series 10, which are more technologically advanced from previous models. My ability to hear and distinguish speech and music are greatly improved with the new innovations. The staff that aided me in my purchase of these was helpful and caring and very well versed in the product. After-purchase service for changes and adjustments is excellent. Kudos to the staff at the Billings, Montana hearing aid center.

5 months ago I replaced my hearing aids with Costco's Brio 4 model. It was mediocre in performance (but please read on as you'll see why), with 3 trips back to tweak, adjust and complain about the myriad of issues that plagued me. I have another month to return them for a full refund, and was seriously considering taking them back. However, I had a lot of misgivings about the person's ability who fitted me with this aid, so I tried another Costco store to see what they could do. I made the appointment with a different Costco store. After talking to the person answering the phone, explaining my problems with the aids and the store that issued them and we made an appointment for 5 weeks out. (They were that busy, but certainly worth the wait!)

I had a Resound hearing aid I bought three years ago from an audiologist. It quit working. I saw an online discussion about Kirkland's Signature 10, the price was $1,000 cheaper than the Resound and it had more features. When I went to Costco's hearing center in Tampa, they gave me a much more thorough ear examination and I ordered from them. The Signature 10 was delivered in a week and when I went back to Costco to pick it up I was surprise they also had a very detailed computerized setup procedure. The procedure played sounds from different directions in the sound booth and customized the aids for the best sounds.

Helen (Specialist) and Jade (Attendant) provide excellent service to my mom. Recommend and tried Hearing Aid. Mom comfortable and purchased, love the service and will refer 2 family/friend. Thank You.

AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. At first, we were quite happy with the hearing aids, and the service at Barrhaven Costco. All was well until one of the hearing aids started acting up less than a year later, and that is when the nightmare began. Being over two hours from Ottawa, we mailed in the hearing aid to be fixed. They did nothing that we hadn’t done ourselves, and said it was ready anyway. Covid had begun by then and we were in the first wave. Everyone was in a panic, and Ottawa was fast becoming a hot spot for infections. But, we drove there, picked up the hearing aid, and drove straight back, all the while feeling very vulnerable.

I've had several sets of hearing aids but decided to get the latest with a great price. The automatic function does not work or is very erratic. Speech even in a small room with few people is garbled. Every time my iPhone has an action or I look at a photo or message, the hearing aids go bonkers or off. I have an echo around me and I can hear my own chewing. I had these adjusted after 3 weeks and they are still bad. My phone link has to be uploaded constantly and so it is slow for me to adjust to new situations. I've kept my prior ones when I can change the channel manually. I will be returning these; The new auto program does not work.

3 pair of Siemens hearing aid in past (2 from Costo) & all were great. Costo sold me my 4 pr which were Resound & had nothing but trouble in last yr. Technicians at Torrance Ca. Store are great but their support leaves something to be desired. Will be going back to hearing aid only business in future.

Service is impressive and, unlike some other hearing aid companies I have dealt with, continues after the devices are purchased. The number of sites available across the country for service outshines any other hearing aid company and it has the benefit of being in a one stop shopping location.

I read the reviews of their hearing aids. Didn’t go with the cheap versions. I went with the rechargeable ones. And the only difference was that people’s voices echoed more loudly than prior. But I could really hear the person talking any better with them. Sadly they didn’t help.

The people at the Costco hearing center are quite helpful in helping you get adjusted to the hearing aids. However in my case, it required several visits before the sound quality was good. I find the aids a bit uncomfortable to wear and with the mask situation now, almost impossible. Every time I remove the mask, the unit falls out. Costco is very good about cleaning the aids and I try to do so each time I am in a Costco store, wherever it is.

While the Costco Hearing center customer service is phenomenal, their Kirkland brand hearing aids are not. I have worn hearing aids for approx. 20 years; with a condition of substantial hearing loss. I’ve had aids of 2 different brands prior to receiving the Kirkland (Rexton) bluetooth/ rechargeable hearing aids. I have had these aids for almost two years. While I enjoy the capability of streaming directly into my ears, the streaming is not continuous. It often cuts out, playing in one ear only, switching ears, or cutting out completely in both ears. I’ve taken them in for adjustments, and the staff has been very courteous and patient.

The Costco experience was so easy to get tested, ordered, and fitted for my hearing aid. I probably qualify to get hearing aids through a VA hospital, but after reading about how Costco was so highly rated in a leading Consumer Magazine, I elected not to go through the VA, thinking Costco would have the latest and greatest hearing aid products. I'm very happy with my "ears" now.

COSTCO hearing centers are Very convenient and friendly with free testing & service. The centers are found in most COSTCO stores which helps with access to hearing services even when traveling. They have skilled technicians, excellent product selection, Easy access, excellent warrantees and very Competitive pricing!

The Costco staff were Knowledgeable staff, offering private consultation - free hearing testing, variety of quality brand name products as well as Kirkland brand, great pricing and service as well as good warranty and buyer protection for breakage and even lost aids.

Costco has free hearing test and their results matched my hearing test from audiologist. No charge for visits and free hearing aid cleanings. I saved a lot of money and the hearing aids are manufactured by name brand companies.

Friendly and competent service. The choice of products-satisfactory. However the price could be lower, especially for retired seniors. I recommend Costco Hearing Service but opt for lower prices. Costco could provide updated information about innovations in hearing aids.

Excellent customer service and so easy to work with. Honestly answer your questions and concerns. They never try to up-sell you with higher priced products. They do use resound for upgrades and I am glad that I was made aware of them. The best hearing aids I have ever had.

I guess it takes some time to get used to hearing aids. But Costco seems to promote theirs, but I can get better with my insurance, not really happy, could they have offered a different one? However all the people I know are unhappy with their aids. I would be happier I think with rechargeable hearing aids, they were never offered.
