    I’ve had my Philips 9050’s for just over two weeks now and they are hands down the best hearing aids I’ve ever worn. My last two pairs were both Widex and while I don’t think music sounds as good on the 9050 hearing aids, I am hearing and understanding speech (even in noise) like never before. I even heard and understood my three year old grandson as he whispered to me. I didn’t think that was even possible with hearing aids. I’m just so happy and recommend them to everyone.

      I've been following you for quite some time and value your opinion and like previous comments, have stopped listening to another individual.
      I would like to know if you have tested the 9050 Phillips, and if so what is your opinion of their upgrades. I will be a first time user and have been tested. My loss is moderate to extreme high frequency in both ears.
      Thank you for any information.

      @@robertboyle7418I am not an experienced reviewer but to reply I still would recommend the Phillips 8050 hearing aids to everyone. I just love that they allow me to hear speech so much better than my previous aids. I love that when I’m in a noisy place I can turn down the volume and the noise decreases but the speech stays up and I can still hear speech.

      @thehearingclub I have severe to profound hearing loss. I tried the Philips 9040 and had a feedback noise similar to how it sounds when you are talking into a fan. It occurred several times a day. They replaced them and it still happened with the new set. The hearing specialist called Phillips and they said the never heard of anything like that before and where unable to help. After several follow up for close to six months Costco never got rid of the problem so I returned them and they never offered me to try another brand like Jabra . Any feedback as on this as to what might of fixed the problem would be appreciated. I am using my old hearing aids from Sam’s but know I will need a new hearing aids soon. Sam’s hearing aids are ok but want better options in an app that Sam’s doesn’t provide.

    When I first started my journey with hearing aids, to try to help with tinnitus, I first went to an Audiologist. I had 3 Sessions with that Audiologist, and while he was really nice and did what I thought was an okay job with my testing and fitting of some Phonack hearing aids I used as trial for 4 months with follow-ups and adjustments. At the end of my trial for the Phonack hearing aids before full purchase, I decided to go to Costco due to price. I will tell you now that the Costco audiograms, and fitment, and programming were by far way better than what I got from the Audiologist. Costco did way more types of fitmit exam and testing. The Audiologist didn't even do. In my personal experience Costco did a full and proper job, where as the Audiologist (associated with a large hospital and clinic system) did not do a proper or complete job at all. So don't let people talk bad about Costco hearing centers. My Costco I used is in Lubbock TX. Kudos to them.

      That's been my experience too. I've been to audiologists with their advanced degrees using so called "best practice" and they were totally incompetent. I was going back weekly because they could not get it right. I've purchased two sets of HA's at Costco and they are second to none. Both times there was a follow-up visit to confirm everything was okay and there was never an issue.

    I just got a pair of Philips 9050s on Monday, 11/18/24. The technician performing the hearing test and the fitting went above and beyond in my opinion. I had previously been tested by the audiologist at my ENT office and there was no difference to me. The one big difference was the cost of the device. The audiologist had recommended the Oticon Real 1 for $6K. But, there was no trial period. Once you had them, that was it. I still need to become accustomed to using aids. I think I need to have the ambient sound suppression fine tuned for focusing on speech. However, in general I have experienced greatly improved speech recognition.

    I understand the 9050 has 7 programs of operation. I am confused whether the user can change programs on his/her own or it requires the “fitter” at Costco to change programming involving a Costco visit by appointment. With only one button, I presume it will have one function set up by the fitter. How do you use the 9050 to answer smart phone calls if the buttons control volume? Love your presentations.

It randomly disconnects becomes a nightmare to reconnect. Which means among other things sometimes it talks to my phone. A call to Phillips Tech Support resolved nothing. Fitter at Costco that I have worked with for at least 7-8 years can immediately reconnect them and phone, but it takes a 42 mile round trip to see him. Battery for me has not been an issue. I wear the 9040's for 11-12 hours a day without battery failure. Thanks for heads up on the 9050.

      You can upgrade to the 20’s but there is no buy back or trade in option so you would be paying the full cost. Question 2, I would come in every 2 years. If you you have a history of drastically changing hearing in short periods of time or maybe Ménière’s disease, then once a year is a good idea.

    I've been trying to make an appointment for about three days.
    There's no longer anyone to take phone calls. The hearing aid techs are supposed to answer or return calls in their spare time. The experience is awful.
    I've called once, early, and left a message. Then I'll call back about every 20-30 minutes or so to try to get a person to make an appointment​. I'm in Florida; so the tourest season hasn't started yet. When it does it will become impossible to speak with someone.
    I'm told that the decision to decimate service was made by corporate: if the receptionist wasn't amenable to more training to be a tech, they'd lose their job.
    One solution might be for a single receptionist to handle 2 or 3 stores. That way customers could still get an appointment.

I'm glad the 9050''s are finally available. So far I am 100% satisfied with Costco and their professionall assement of my hearing loss. Stay tuned. I'm not sure if in my particular situation they will recommend the 9050's but I trust they will fit me with the most appropriate brand.

See how you do with the elehear beyond and if it doesn't work out, return it and try the 9050's. You will definitely do well with the 9050's, they are the best you can get.

    I had Jabra Enhance from Costco and the hearing aids were lousy. Constant issues and Costco wouldn't take the initiative to get it repaired. All I heard was Jabra was working on a fix (7 mos.) While going through this, Costco neglected to tell me during the back and forth trips I could get new ones. Made no sense. I confronted her about this and she shrugged. Costco wouldn't work with me so I got in touch with Jabra... what did they say... Costco's problem. No one wanted to deal with it. I demanded and got a full refund. Thus, I am nervous about dealing with Costco (in MD). I live in PA, so perhaps I'll give them a try.

If they run Auracast in the main theater, will the HA, headphones etc. pick up that audio stream in other entertainment venues, or even just outside the theater?

In addition the 9050 microphone also is not active with Android phones. However these features are operational with iPhones.

When you return hearing aids, all that work goes down the drain. So I can see why the feel reluctant to wanna do all that again just for you to possibly do it again.

      haven't used one of those, the only way would be to download the app IF its available to download on that device. Once you have the app installed, follow the instructions to pair the aids. It can only be done via the app on android devices

    With the 9040 you cannot play music. It sounds like tin and very trashy. Any experience with the 9050?

    I UNsubscribed from Cliff for the reason you mentioned and more. One of his vids didn't set well for me. Too arrogant & not really focused on the user like you are. I don't miss him. 👍

      @@Homer19521 So I am glad I am not the only only one that has issues with Dr. Cliff … he was my go to guy three years ago when I started looking for hearing aids. But, I am more than happy with the great videos and info here, and I love Costco so far.

    Way too much cost for the average person on a limited income.

      Yes, it’s a lot of money. If you are looking for a pretty amazing hearing aid for less, try the ELEHEAR beyond, I just finished the review, check it out.
