    They may all look the same externally, yes! But, it's the internal processor that determines the cost of one compared to another. In my practice (doctorate level audiologist for 30+ years) I've see them all. Wouldn't advise using them when hunting with firearms as the transient muzzle blast could fry the circuit, but for bowhunting, I hear them coming in from 50 yards away. Get with a practitioner that will take at least an hour and fully discuss the differences so you may make an informed and specific choice in circuitry that is applicable to your lifestyle.

      Mine was stolen along with a lot of other things. I didn't care for them anyway. Did not help much in hearing a conversation and the background noise was to distracting. I will say though that I could hear a plastic sack blowing in the wind from 100 yards out.

        I've had hearing aids for 30 yrs. been all over the board. Tops $9000. Can't do that any more got to checking an went to Costco best deal going. $ 1799/pair,Bluetooth ,iPhone compatible . I've never had better ones. Get the little dryer to put them in and you will have great success. Check them out on their web site.

          My doctor recommended Costco as well.

            Let's change the title to "What was that?"

            Or "Old people flock here"

                  My doctor told me to go on line and check out America Hears.com, said to stay away from Beltone, that they are in business to sell you hearing aids?

                      Here's a man who has an opinion!
                      Any comments on the quality of the testing and the hearing aids sold at Costco or Sam's Clubs compared to a private audiologist's practice for those on a budget (or just cheap in my case?)

                      I found with eyeglasses it was a lot cheaper to take my Rx, thank the eye doctor and VSP benefits, and go to Coatco and just buy the frames and lenses to the script there.

                        Buy the best you can afford. You don't realize how bad your hearing is until you get hearing aids.

                          I hate my hearing aids! My hearing is bad enough that I can't function well without them, but I hate them none the less! I have had several different ones, and so far, they have all sucked. My son has a $100 pair of ear buds for his phone that sound awesome. I don't understand why they can't make $5000 hearing aids sound any better than they do!
