    I give Costco a try and save myself $3,500. Of course that is if one is close enough to you.

    I've read that Resound hearing aids do a pretty good job for music, but it is purely hearsay on my part. However, if you want to try them out you can get a 90 day trial with a full refund from Costco if they don't work out, so you really have nothing to lose.

    Strata 2c hearing aids

    I think they are similar to the Charismo 2c HA's that Costco just started selling.

    Hearing aids and exercise

    Hearing aid sweatbands also do a good job of keeping your hearing aids dry when doing something strenuous that will cause you to sweat. For running or doing exercise that requires you to wear your HA's so you can hear traffic, dogs, etc. I would get either Eargear or HA sweatbands. However, if...

    Ric/rite?

    I've always used custom earmolds with my hearing aids. I did try open fit aids with domes but didn't like them. Custom molds are much more comfortable and if made correctly stay in your ear. I have a full mold with a large vent on my Vigo Pros and I have a smaller micro mold with a large vent...

    Loops, etc

    I think the Widex T dek can be used with your Diva's as long as they have a T coil and it is activated. The T-dek will allow you to connect to various divices through Bluetooth. However, I have found that a lot of Apple products have problems staying connected in Bluetooth, so I use a patch...

    How often do you change the battery in your hearing aid?

    Mine last about 2 weeks, size 13 (Costco batteries) Oticon Vigo Pro's. However, if I take the batteries out and tape over the holes each night I get another 4-5 days out of them. I also have a pair of Agil Pro's with 312 batteries and I get about 7-9 days out of those. I wear my HA's a least 14...

    Dog ate my hearing aid

    Best practice is to keep hearing aids out of the bathroom when not in your ears, they don't do well in the moisture found in a steamy bathroom. Also when not in your ears they should be in a drying container or a Dry N Store with a snap lid. If kept in either of the two this will keep the...

    What Type is better

    nicatnite, You really can't lose going with Costco, they have good hearing aids at really good prices, great 90 day trial and 100% money back return and a great warranty if you use a Costco American Express card. I would ask the fitter at Costco to let you try the Kirkland, Bernafon and...

    Special offer on Oticon Alta Pro?

    Desertdude, Do you live close enough to the clinic in Ontario that you can go there? If not your probably stuck with what you've agreed to pay. Several audiologist in the SF Bay Area had similar promotions a month or two ago and were advertising the Alta Pro's for same price of $5,500 for the...

    Beltone VS. Phonak

    I have found that there are good and bad HIS just as there are good and bad audiologists. The best person I've ever had set up my hearing aids is a HIS who was also hearing impaired, she knows HA's inside and out and has basically hit it out of the park on the first try with no further...
