Two years ago a doctor friend in Sydney told me that Costco was the best place for Quality Hearing Aids. The thought of buying hearing aids from a Super Market did not convince me. Plus I had spent $5000 of a Widex Hearing Aid that was useless but had to wait out five years to get my HCF Rebate. So Last November I bit the Bullet and became a Costco member and had a free Hearing test.

So Last November I bit the Bullet and became a Costco member and had a free Hearing test.
Was truly impressed with the high-tech Audiology Clinic, with testing equipment I have not seen before with other audiologists and more than anything was impressed with the Audiologist Kim Pham herself. Top Professional. She was amazing and she cleaned my Widex hearing aids and made it sound a ton better.
Next She discussed various options available to me considering I had vey severe hearing loss in my right ear Compounded with Severe Tinnitus and Ottosclerosis. She suggested I try out the Kirklands Signature 9.0. Fitted me with one and programmed it and also set up the Easy Line App on my Samsung 7.
She asked me to walk out into the Noisy Costco Section and call my Wife on the Mobile. OMG the experience was out of this world. For the first time in 5 years I was able to talk in a noisy environment, thanks to the Blue Tooth Facility. I had No hesitation and Ordered one one the spot and Picked up my hearing aids on 20th Dec 2019. My Priceless Christmas Present for sure.
For a whole year or more I have not watched TV as I could hear the sound but could not understand what was being said. I was Back in the Clinic getting paperwork done when the Phone in my Pant Pockets Rang and I heard the ring tone in my hearing aid and Kim told me you done even have to touch the phone to receive the call. Just press the button on your hearing aids. I did and said How Cool is this ?
Also walking around at Westfield I use my phone app to the cut out the sound and mute it almost so I can wander around window shopping minus the noise or play music of my choice.
From that Day I have not stopped talking about The Kirkland Signature 9.0. I am a hard man to please and so my recommendations were well accepted by family and friends and my GP has suggested this to many of her patients who were having problems with their expensive hearing aids.
Three Cheers to Costco and Three Cheers to PHONAK.
However There is one Problem I am facing, Say I am busy watching a TV show and a family member or friend walks in and speaks to me. I hear ZILCH as Blue Tooth is on and I have to either mute the TV or Turn Blue tooth off. I would love to see a Simple button that I can press on my hearing aids to cut blue tooth off.
Plus say you are watching TV using Blue tooth and your Mob Phone rings there is a conflict as the hearing aid is connected to TV and Mob Phone using Blue tooth. I am sure the next Gen Kirklands 10.0 will address this ISSUE.
