I had my ears tested from a specialist and Costco, same results. I also have loud dining in my ears, I honestly don’t notice it while my ears are in but when I take them off it’s like taking head phones off and ringing comes back. The cool thing is that I have a hunting mode that actually allows me to hear leaves fall or animals walk in the woods, works great except on windy conditions.

Anyway, long story short, a majority of her patients come to her after going to the big box stores, spending 1500-2500 and not being satisfied or even hating the product, lack of service, etc. Ultimately they will buy hearing aids from her...so in other words they had to pay twice to help 1 problem.
So take that into consideration. Also, there can be more to hearing loss than just being exposed to loud noises for an extended period of time (Cancer, Tumors, Viral Infections, etc). I'm not sure the person at Costco that just had to take a quiz to get his license from the state would be able to help you with that.
In my opinion, I'd go to an actual audiologist in a hostpital/clinic setting.
Also, consider extended warranties that offer replacement for lost and damaged aids.

I have had my hearing aids for over a year and I could not hear without them.
I went to a franchised dealer called "Bell Tone" The price for the better aids was not in my budget so I asked the audiologist about refurbished aids and saved a ton of money, over half. Free batteries for a year and lifetime service.
Couldn't be happier.
