I am going to be replacing my HAs in the next couple of months. Currently have the Kirkland Series 7 - it's time!!! What does everyone have? What's good and what's bad. Are there still non-rechargable HAs? I'm scared to go re-chargable lol. I'm into technology so would like to know what accessories/apps you may be using and like/dislike. Thanks All!

Please tell me your experience with the hearing aids sold at Costco. What is the quality of product like? Their pricing seems to be about 1/4 of what I was quoted for "mid range" hearing aids at an independent hearing centre. Is Costco's markup that much lower or does the pricing reflect the quality of the product?
I'm completely new to hearing aids, so I have no reference for comparison. I really would appreciate the guidance of this community.
My audiologist recommended that I get hearing aids for my mild-moderate hearing loss. He specifically told me not to go to Costco, miracle ear, or anything like that. He said I didn't have to go back to him, but to go to an audiologist rather than one of those places, because they don't have audiologists and will not be able to do it correctly.
Is this really a concern? Do audiologists not help with Costco hearing aids? Price is a big factor for me. I have family members with Costco hearing aids (my loss is genetic) who have no complaints. I'm confused. What has your experience been with Costco? And have you had an audiologist say this to you?
I have a moderate severe to Severe hearing loss in both ears and been wearing hearing aids since I was three. Most of my life I have worn Phonaks. Money is tight and I’m trying to see if it’s worth it to go to Costco? My question I have is what brand hearing aids does Costco carry? Is it cheaper than Connect hearing? What is the warranty like? And do they allow you to try them out?
