All hearing aids need to be fit and adjusted to the specific patient. Find a good audiologist and go from there.

i got a pair of Phonak P90RT in jan this year that are amazing ! great sound, built in
bluetooth phone calls and streaming, rechargeable, small and the list
goes on. i paid $3300 for them and most audiologists sell them from
$5k to $7k. i have an app on my phone that allows me to adjust
volume, memory presets, and various other things. the rechargeable
batteries last me 10-12 hours including phone calls and some streaming.
they are rated at 23 hrs normal use and 16+ hours streaming.

i recently found out that the Kirkland KS10 aids sold by Costco are
the exact same Phonak P90's i have and Costco sells them for $1399
a pair. that's a fantastic deal !!!

msg me if you have any questions

My wife constantly nags me to get a set, but guess why I refuse?

On the other hand, she states that all her relatives that have them seem to have the hearing get progressively worse and need to get them adjusted stronger. But there is a positive - her relatives think I am deaf, but I want to hear her relatives BS even less than the wife's!

Take offense if you wish, but having you in the family might make deteriorating hearing an absolute blessing :D :D

Let us know how they work out. I just let my Costco membership lapse, but I could always re-up to snag a deal like this.

Hope Indio is working out for you, sir.
