I tried several different hearing aids before buying my 1st and chose the Rexton. The biggest difference I liked between the Rexton and others was the natural sound of others voices and especially my voice. When I tried them at the store, the person working with me had me try a sample pair and I told her they made my voice sound robotic like the others. She started their My Voice trainer and had me count from 17 up to around 30 something. She then had me try them again after updating, and my own voice sounded just like MY voice! My wife's voice also sounded just like her voice. To me that is huge, I didn't like the others I had tried that made everything sound robotic.
I m just finishing my first week with the Reach. I had a previous version of the Rexton from Costco for 4 years before. The reach is a 1000% improvement. I've had not problems with the bluetooth and can hear my phonecalls clearly through them. I suppose my only complain would be, I have an Android phone and I cannot answer or talk through the Reach. That doesn't bother me since I get few phone calls these days. I hear the TV clearly now and I have yet to ask my wife to repeat something. So yes, we are both pleased. There may be better solutions out there but I doubt there is one for $1500 and my Reach fulfills all my hearing needs.
After much research and visits to two other hearing aid shops, I was convinced that Costco was the way to go. I wanted the Jabras and was ready to pull the trigger. Then, I learned about the new Rextons available at Costco. I went to my appointment to pick up my Jabras, but decided instead to demo a set of the new Rextons. The tech allowed me to wear the demo set around the store. I listened to various activities in the store and engaged people in conversation, including in some noisy areas. I felt a bit "plugged-up" with the Rextons. I returned them to the hearing center, and the tech fitted me with the demo Jabras. The difference was night and day - no comparison. The Jabras, at least for me, were much clearer. The plugged up feeling was gone, and conversations were much clearer. I'm going with the Jabras.
I recently spent $4,950 for the mid-level Signia Pure Charge&Go T5IX from an Audiologist. The level you’re featuring today would have cost me $6,000. I’m going to Costco next time.
I received the Jabra Select Enhance 500 directly from Jabra last week. These are almost identical to the Jabra sold by Costco. After wearing them for 2 days, I had to return them. Even after boosting the bass and setting the equalizer to minimize the treble, the sound was so harsh and strident it was unbearable. A friend of mine is a long-time hearing aid wearer and he tried them with the same results. He said they were terrible. I know a lot of people love them and there are a lot of positive reviews, but they are definitely not for everyone. Thankfully, they are sold with a 100-day return policy. I am headed to Costco tomorrow for my hearing evaluation and I am positive that I will be getting the Rexton from everything I have seen about them here on RUclips. Thanks for a great review and the information.
I have been wearing the Genesis AI 24 RIC RT from Starkey for over a year and am amazed at the sound quality, even in noisy environments. The Edge Mode+ feature brings true artificial intelligence and machine learning to the hearing aid industry.
Question about Bluetooth streaming calls to my iPhone. Will the hearing aid microphones stream my voice to the caller, or will I still need to use my phone and its microphone so the caller can hear me? Thanks for the video and help?
I currently have the Philips 9040 from Costco. I’ve had them for 5 months and I generally like them with the exception of Bluetooth connectivity. Any idea when the new 9050s will be available?
I currently have Jabra from Costco which I have had about 2 years. My hearing has continued to worsen, and I am now looking at Phonak from a private audiologist.
I have had my Rexton Reach for about 3 days. I love them so far. I would like to know, can I change the volume on my Rx Reach with the buttons on the back of the hearing aid?
My first were unitron from an independent ,then K7 from Costco, now Rexton bicore. Quite happy with the Rexton but wish I could use my apple watch to change things. I would be happier with replaceable batteries as they are a bit smaller and 1 week of battery life. I use closed domes and have no problem with the things you mentioned.
My first HA rodeo begins in just a few days with Costco's Philips 9040. I asked about the 9050 and the technician wasn't even aware that it was a thing. She called someone while I was there. That person said the 9050s were coming out later in the year. She said the Rextons were not an option anymore. At least, not at this time. She didn't seem to be very well informed, though she's been working there for several years. This is in the Southeastern Virginia area. My options were either the Jabra or the Philips. On my first visit, she was recommending the Jabras. Two weeks later, I said I wanted the Philips and she said it was probably the best of the two. So, who knows. Glad I have 180 days to decide whether or not to keep the Philips.
Costco Kirkland Signatures in 2011. Currently KS 10s. I was recently fitted with Jabari Enhance Pro 20's but I am returning them. They tend to distort in some Bluetooth streaming and I don't hear my soft speaking wife as well as the KS10s.
I get my hearing aids from the VA. I get a new pair every four years and they are always the top tier technology level. Currently I'm wearing Phonak Lumity aids and my back up (which I prefer over the Phonaks) pair is Starkey Evolv AI.
@@Pinkyandthebrain290 I get a new pair of HAs every four years and I never throw the old ones away. I might have five pairs of HAs that are in working condition. The VA doesn't want them back and I don't think selling them would be fair. I hope that explains it...
@@watermain48 I’m looking at the Lumity L90’s are these the same as yours and would you recommend ? What is the Bluetooth streaming like - if you indeed use this feature ? Battery charge ability like ? Speech in noise ? Thanks for reading. 🥰
@@Pinkyandthebrain290 They are the same and they are my current daily wear hearing aids (I would just as soon walk around without clothes as not wear hearing aids). They work okay. I'm working with the audiologist to get them fine tuned. I like that they use classic BlueTooth since it lets me pair them to multiple devices at the same time. I use them for streaming a lot. Th'e battery life isn't the best though. On days when I use them for streaming a lot of YT videos I will have to charge them in the evening to get more streaming time. Overall, I wish I would have waited for the Starkey Genesis AI or the Oticon Intent hearing aids. Hope this helps...
I have the Rexton Bi-cores. Already been back once for warranty repair and still have the glitch of dropping volume down in one or the other. So they are going back. Was going to then go with the Jabras but, lot of happy Phillips customers it seems.
@@HearingTrackerYes it has been a very disappointing intro to the Rexton range. Having a hearing aid constantly drop to 50% volume during Jury duty and requiring a reset in the charger has been extremely frustrating.
It would be interesting to learn via a poll like the one you did, where do patients purchase their second or third pair of hearing aids. It would also be great feedback to learn if people purchased their devices from a vendor that they were forced to get their hearing aids (insurance) or if they freely chose where they bought them at. I bet that most of us were ordered where to get our devices, without a choice give to purchase them elsewhere.
Ordered my very first hearing aids (Rexton Reach) at Costco last week. They should be in mid-July and hope they are as good as I've heard. I am very pleased with Costco so far but this is a new journey for me and I'm a little apprehensive.
It's normal to be a little apprehensive especially if it's a new world for you. Hopefully your aud will have plenty of time to hold your hand and walk you through the process! Matthew
Question: I have a pair of 6 yr old Resounds purchased from Costco. Still working but how much have the aids available at Costco improved since then. Especially for hearing in noisy places. I’m in a position to upgrade if worthwhile
I got my first set of hearing aids (Oticon OPN3) 6 years ago through Kaiser's hearing aid center. They were too expensive, and I wasn't overly impressed with the service. I have an fitting appointment with Costco this next week and am planning on getting the Rexton Reach (although I'll keep an open mind for one of the other brands). When I had my hearing tested at Costco, the fitter was definitely pushing me toward the Jabra brand, so I'll be interested to hear what she has to say about the Rexton Reach.
I am a musician and former audio professional and am in the process of evaluating purchase of my first hearing aids right now. I live in the SF Bay Area and have gone to Kaiser and to Costco for hearing tests and advice in the last few weeks. I was extremely impressed , and a little surprised with the careful time and attention I got from the Costco employee, both in the testing and advising. As an aside, I found it interesting that he also was nodding me towards the Jabra as you noted ........without any heavy-handedness. As in the audio and music businesses, it is now occurring to me that , in hearing aid evaluation, too, there is more to consider than just the array of 'features' of any device , but that they offer a similar dilemma as when evaluating mics and speakers in the recording studio or home. They are 'transducer' devices which attempt the difficult task of of conversion of sound into electricity (microphones) , or electricity into sound (speakers) , and are going to lend their own character and distortions to the chain, sometimes obvious, but often nuanced. This must be the devil in the deal for capturing and reproducing audio for hearing aids, as well. A doctor friend who is also a musician noted that he chose the Philips devices because they had a more 'musical' sound to his ear. I guess it's not not so surprising. Sigh. This is going to take some more work. Thanks to other commenters. SOme are very helpful. I have just run across HearingTracker and am glad . Thanks for delivering some detail and clarity to contemplate.
Current Widex set from local audiologist. But her quote for new Signia 7IX is $6,500. IMHO that's ridiculous. So went to Costco for a test and am waiting for a call that Philips 9050 are in stock.
I bought my KS10.RT from Costco in Watford 3 yrs ago & they are still going well. I do t plan to change them yet but I need your advice of which is the best one now…?
Hey Stephen! Sounds great, thanks for sharing. Best tech out of everything that's on the market? It really depends on your hearing loss and challenges, but my best recommendation wouldn't be available at Costco! Matthew
The place where I struggle the most is while driving, specially if God forbid I have the window cracked down a little bit, or if I am in a windy location. Therefore, winds is not my friend at all while wearing HAs.
@@HearingTracker I have Phonak Paradise from Connect Hearing at this time. I was wondering if my Roger On would work if I try something from Costco for my NEXT hearing aids. I need to upgrade to newer technology next time I buy hearing aids.
I am almost 3 mos new to HA with Jabra Pro 20 from Costco. My question concerns BT. I only Just learned you can only connect to one device at a time ie phone-HA, OR car-HA. What happens with Auracast if you are connected with BT phone-HA ABD a gate change announcement happens? Do you miss it if on your connected phone? Or if connected to phone when you get to airport do you have to switch to Auracast? Same question regarding TV streamer (don't have yet) and phone-HA connectivity. Thanks ps my BT phone-HA is excellent just sometimes a little issue tapping my ear to answer I've hit the button and hung up on caller 😮
Hey Lynda, that's a great question and sadly one I can't answer just yet because we're not up and running. As soon as I know more I'll share as much info as possible. Matthew
HearLink 9030 Will the LE Audio overlay completely the legacy PA system, which will still be on for those without LE Audio? How will these PA systems handle the hybrid situation?
Hey Corvy, I think that we'll be sitting on telecoils until they're installed. The cool thing is Auracast transmitters are really simple to install! Matthew
@@HearingTracker what I meant by hybrid situation was actually the echo effect due to the timing differences between LE Audio and the sound coming out of the PA speakers (not telecoil). That can be distracting, unless the hearing aids can cancel out the PA speakers.
I have had Rexton Reach from Costco aids for two weeks. Not at all happy as they do not connect to my Galaxy A32 2 year old phone. Here is a limited list of Samsung phones that they work with. I am taking them back.
Great Question Jack.

I am a musician and singer who recently lost a great deal of my hearing after a bout of bronchitis. Tubes were installed in my ears to drain them, but my hearing has not improved after a few weeks. Going to Costco next week. Can anyone help me choose between the Costco HA offerings? Specifically want to hear myself playing instruments and singing and be able to hear others I am playing with. All of the OTC hearing aids I have tried make my music sound really bad, louder, but terrible sound quality. I am desperate to find something that will help me play and record music again. Jabra, Phillips, Rexton will be my choices most likely. Cannot afford Widex, know they are the best for my case.
@@HearingTracker Went pretty well, My hearing has not gotten any worse over the last 3 years. I sent my KS10 hearing aids in for repair. I was going to get some new ones but the Phillips 9050 were not available yet so I decided to wait.
It all sounds too good to be true. I hope it's not. I believe I would like to replace my somewhat-uncomfortable, useless with any background noise, completely in-the-canal aids, bought at Costco a year ago (happy with their service), with the behind-the-ear Rexton Reach, after a demo. I think I'm ready, as well, for rechargeable units.
I got the Jabra Enhance Pro 20s last Friday. I had the KS10s. Frankly I am disappointed. The app is terrible. Even when the hearing aids are connected via the iPhone's hearing accessibility feature, the app often fails to connect. The Jabras have a hard time switching between streaming from my iPad to my iPhone and back, often requiring me to restart the Jabras and turn off the iPhone's Bluetooth so that I can do a fresh connect to the iPad. I also get a lot of static when listening to audiobooks. I also get static accompanying high pitch sounds, like water hitting the kitchen sink or the parrot whistling. The ability to hear my soft speaking wife is no different from the old KS10s. I'll give them a couple of weeks before returning them.
Today's vid is a Rexton Reach Launch vid... there should be two more to follow: 1. A review of the tech 2. A comparison of all three available at Costco. I hope that helps? Matthew
I have a set of Rexton Bicore, they have been really bad for me. Group conversations are impossible to understand, outdoors, public places, etc. Battery life is great, but to tell you the truth they sound more like an “amplifier”.
Some unbelievable young kid made these without any sense for social aspect of age of consumer. Obviously whoever developed this aid doesn’t wear them. Constant loss of blutooth connection and no way to reset. I would write these at three low 3 of 10 and I’ve been wearing hearing aids since 2008. Don’t lose the charger or it’ll cost you $200. ridiculous.
True, you can go to a nice restaurant and get a basic burger (under another name) for $50. The $45 question - are you getting a better burger or being gouged?

I believe so yes... www.google.com/search?sca_esv=183dc6637f0766c0&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB958GB958&q=auracast&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J5MIFhvnvU242yFxzEEp3Bf8EoawgunqMv655aP0rDGkqujjHi-sEDEEuDJ002aFKB-sSM2Zb1oVZ-ohvbsb83Pa5WgDpTtD3LQq40dQEayWJ7yKJwDUMeSPnNjlpnQ7EEfYgH_noJLjb3uOylfDyutHDAP-hI341NGajUtNETDD07EJrg&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwi70-nD4qmHAxV21gIHHfjWCVYQtKgLegQIGBAB&biw=1454&bih=1229&dpr=2#vhid=jojCjSavx8usYM&vssid=mosaic
I am a musician and singer who recently lost a great deal of my hearing after a bout of bronchitis. Tubes were installed in my ears to drain them, but my hearing has not improved after a few weeks. Going to Costco next week. Can anyone help me choose between the Costco HA offerings? Specifically want to hear myself playing instruments and singing and be able to hear others I am playing with. All of the OTC hearing aids I have tried make my music sound really bad, louder, but terrible sound quality. I am desperate to find something that will help me play and record music again. Jabra, Phillips, Rexton will be my choices most likely. Cannot afford Widex, know they are the best for my case.
I ask the same question
How to Insert them with such a long wire?
Costco and I am having a hearing test tomorrow.
How did it go? Matthew
@@HearingTracker Went pretty well, My hearing has not gotten any worse over the last 3 years. I sent my KS10 hearing aids in for repair. I was going to get some new ones but the Phillips 9050 were not available yet so I decided to wait.

It all sounds too good to be true. I hope it's not. I believe I would like to replace my somewhat-uncomfortable, useless with any background noise, completely in-the-canal aids, bought at Costco a year ago (happy with their service), with the behind-the-ear Rexton Reach, after a demo. I think I'm ready, as well, for rechargeable units.
Was expecting review of all 3 hearing aids. I got a Jabra few weeks ago from Costco.
@kittyfarkas. How do you like your Jabra?
I got the Jabra Enhance Pro 20s last Friday. I had the KS10s. Frankly I am disappointed. The app is terrible. Even when the hearing aids are connected via the iPhone's hearing accessibility feature, the app often fails to connect. The Jabras have a hard time switching between streaming from my iPad to my iPhone and back, often requiring me to restart the Jabras and turn off the iPhone's Bluetooth so that I can do a fresh connect to the iPad. I also get a lot of static when listening to audiobooks. I also get static accompanying high pitch sounds, like water hitting the kitchen sink or the parrot whistling. The ability to hear my soft speaking wife is no different from the old KS10s. I'll give them a couple of weeks before returning them.
Today's vid is a Rexton Reach Launch vid... there should be two more to follow:
1. A review of the tech
2. A comparison of all three available at Costco.
I hope that helps?

I bought JABRA hearing aids at Costco 9 months ago
and . . .?
Purchased at Costco
I have a set of Rexton Bicore, they have been really bad for me.
Group conversations are impossible to understand, outdoors, public places, etc.
Battery life is great, but to tell you the truth they sound more like an “amplifier”.
Costco, Philips 9040
Thanks Alrice. Matthew

Thanks for sharing your experiences! Matthew
Some unbelievable young kid made these without any sense for social aspect of age of consumer. Obviously whoever developed this aid doesn’t wear them. Constant loss of blutooth connection and no way to reset. I would write these at three low 3 of 10 and I’ve been wearing hearing aids since 2008. Don’t lose the charger or it’ll cost you $200. ridiculous.
Never have I been fitted with hearing aids from costco. Getting hearing aids at Costco is like having a gourmet meal at McDonalds.
Pure ignorance.
@@garrisonshriver3074 I guess you are attempting a joke. Try it before disparaging it.
True, you can go to a nice restaurant and get a basic burger (under another name) for $50. The $45 question - are you getting a better burger or being gouged?
That’s exactly what the audiologist recommending $6,400.00 HA said to me!
