I bought my first pair of hearing aids @ Costco Rexton Gem in 2010 @ age 53. Those gave me all kinds of fits and had to be replaced several time as I had them. BUT I soon discovered that i was lost without them. My next set, the ones I currently have were also from Costco. Resound, I purchased these in 2015 and they have worked without issues from day one. Now I am here to explore my options. Being able to understand speach with and background noise is becoming harder and harder.
