Said hearing aid salesmen everywhere.
Got mine from Costco....same guarantee/warranty, same or better hearing test, free cleaning anytime you want, i saved over(drumroll!) $2700.00!!!
Their techs do Not work on commission, either, so whatever they recommend can be easily trusted.
Got evaluated by 2 places before I went to Costco......estimate at Beltone was $4500.00 The Hearing Ear was $4700.00. Plus tax.
For that kind of money, I'll wear a cow horn on a chain, like my granny did.
