Philips (Costco)

Description

Costco offers three prescription hearing brands – Jabra, Rexton, and Philips.
Costco doesn’t manufacture hearing aids themselves; instead, they purchase devices from three of the largest manufacturers and sell them through their in-store hearing clinics. You will need a Costco membership to access Costco hearing aids.
Product and Styles
Demant manufactures Philips Hearlink 9040 and uses equivalent technology to the popular private practice product called Oticon Real. Philips Hearlink 9040 is available primarily in receiver-in-canal styles.
There are pros and cons to going to Costco for your hearing aids. Some people have a great experience, while others feel the staff is under-trained for their needs.
Ultimately it’s hard to deny that Costco offers some of the best technology available at an impressive price. We recommend Costco as an option for budget seekers with a Costco nearby. If you have a complex hearing situation like asymmetrical hearing loss, past surgeries, or severe hearing loss, you’ll likely have more success with a more trained audiologist.
Philips Vs. Jabra and Rexton
We like Philips hearing aids for their innovative use of AI. The manufacturers of Philips hearing aids recorded 12M real-life sounds to train a deep-neural network onboard their devices.
The result is a more “open” sound quality that lets more natural sound in while amplifying speech.
