Thread: Hearing Aid Question ??

Tweet

I am sure that there are good independent shops EXCEPT that they typically have overhead to pay....rent, electricity, insurance, etc where the Costco or Sam's space is kinda existing (it does have value) to the store. IT takes mayby a 20 x 10 space in the big box store. The guy who sold me mine said he didnt average a set a day at Sam's (so less than seven sets a week) at the time I bought mine but it was a relatively new service in the store when I bought them. My problem with the independent shops is that I didnt know who to trust...they are like insurance sales guys.....and morticians.

We have a guy here at work that is flat bad in hearing....no low notes, no high notes, he had a set of $8000 aids. They were giving him trouble so he went to Costco and bought his next set. Happy as a clam now.

By the way, batteries last maybe 3 days in a noisy environment....I think 24 batteries is $10 so it is less than a buck every 3 days. I change mine before they beep at me....every 3 days on schedule. I highly recommend trying hearing aids if you have a loss or if you have trouble in a restaurant where there is background noise.....AND you can hear the wife bitch at you!!!

The guy in Sam's said he was non-comissioned but salaried and he DID have a sales target but didnt get dinged if he didnt meet it. He had his state of Arizona license.
