Thanks. They definitely have come a long way the last couple years. I had been putting off new. ones because our senator Schumer promised he would get them covered by Medicare before the last election. Well, he didn’t even try. Never trust a politician up for election. Hope you are doing well and have some time for gardening this season. Next week I will be starting the tomatoes and peppers. Thanks for watching

I love mine. Took a couple weeks for my brain to adjust and everything sounds great now. The streaming from my phone sounds amazing. Even with profound loss and high power receivers I still have 2 bars of poewr left after 16 hours wearing them. Thanks for watching.

I love them. Took a while for my brain to adjust to them and now I have awesome word recognition. Thanks for watching.

You know where I can find bionic legs and a replacement mind 🤔. Thanks for watching.

You are lucky to have insurance coverage. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 yes I am. We have a Medicare advantage plan. I shop plans every October and change when needed. It's a shame that health insurance is tied to employment. I enjoy your videos.

So far I am enjoying them and my brain has adjusted making them sound great. Thanks for watching.

Not really a review but so far I love them. Hopefully it will get others with issues hearing and understanding out to be tested. Current technology is amazing at shifting frequency so everything can be heard and understood. Thanks for watching.

I love mine but your best to get tested and have them recommend which brand is best for your loss. They have a trial period during which they can be returned for a refund if they don't work for you. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Ya gotta love Costco's return policy!

Thanks, hopefully they are convincing enough to get others with hearing loss and no insurance started at looking for an affordable solution. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

These are actually Resound aids. I think the Nexia version minus some advanced functions. Jabra is the Costco name that allows the lower prices. With my severe hearing loss I am surprised these tiny aids can go 16 to 17 hours with 2 bars of batteries left. I need to switch to I phone to take advantage of tapping an aid to answer the phone and using the aid microphone instead of talking into the phone. Cannot wait for the auracast to be fully implemented. So far these have been amazing and the fitting software was dead on. Today we have 40 mph winds and the wind noise reduction is amazing when I go out to grab some firewood. Costco is the only store we use anymore because all other stores have tripled pricing lately. Definitely starting to encounter long lines at Costco now due to that. Thanks for watching.

Best for you to get tested and have them recommend the best solution for your needs. I think you will probably be tied into higher end aids Costco doesn't offer with more features and adjustments if you're a musician. I have basically zero hi frequency hearing and them shifting those frequencies into my range has made a big difference to me and now everything has a more accurate natural sound in my mind but remember it's not the same as the real natural sound being amplified. Thanks for watching.

Yes they offer trial periods and even will replace them for 2 years if you loose them or a dog eats one. They constantly update to the highest levels of technology and recommend the proper aids for your hearing loss. Only problem is it now takes 3 months to get an appointment because of a shortage of licensed fitters. Thanks for watching.

I will say a lot of that will be controlled by the person doing the fitting and programming. Mine handle directional sound good but fast changes like everyone laughing around you can cause overcompensation of the background suppression. For situations like that I find the clip on mic to be best. You can turn up the level of that and reduce everything else to a point where it is really just background noise. I had the background noise suppression turned down at the follow up to get more natural sound that doesn't have fast muting of things like the fridge starting up. I think you should get tested and see what they recommend for your requirements. I think the Jabras would work but there could be other options available. Test them in the store walking around will give you a idea of how they work. I put on the front focus and could hear my wife 20 feet away even with all the crowd sounds and big blower noise. I was able to understand a woman 50 feet away in the checkout line talking to her child. Everyone has different losses and there is not a perfect for everyone aide yet. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for your response.

I don’t do bars anymore so have no idea. So far work good in crowds and if you want to focus on one person that mic works great. The app really helps fine tune them because each situation is different. I had them allow more background noise for more natural sound and use the app to focus and balance them. I really love the streaming sound quality. Thanks for watching.

The mic has a 3mm standard stereo jack input that could be used if the tv has an output. I am waiting for the streamer to be released because of the high quality sound that can be shared with everyone watching. Most new wireless ear buds will hook up to the auracast. It's not the old Bluetooth, it's the le audio version. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I just discovered you can stream to all HA's with BT with the Roku App

But that is lower quality and uses higher power Bluetooth.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 True! But for anyone that cannot afford a $200-$400 TV Streamer it's an option. I prefer the TV Streamer using BT LE

Older Samsung Android phone. Not LE audio from it but still sounds great and connection never fails. Have to push the phone button to answer. I love them so far. Still waiting for the LE tv streamer to be available from Costco to see the difference LE makes. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 thats good to know, thanks. I have a Motorola though which wasnt on the list thats compatible with jabra, and it seems from what i read that Bluetooth le audio for android and hearing aids is more glitchy than aids with classic Bluetooth.

Do you have to use the mult mic to access bluetooth to your phone?​@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023

No, that is connected to the hearing aids directly, no phone needed. It also has a 3mm audio plug to work with older devices without Bluetooth. You should really make an appointment to demo them and possibly other devices if they don't work for your needs.

Yes all aids come with a cleaning kit. Thanks for watching.

Definitely is an option if you don't have insurance. Costco has several different aids that are all new technology for under 2k. If you don't need features like tinnitus cancelation I think their selection will cover most losses. Thanks for watching.

I find the opposite. I am always connected to Bluetooth and only loose it if I set the phone on the counter then walk away. About 30 feet from the phone it drops and turn around to go back for the phone it instantly reconnects at about 30 feet. Really solid connection and awesome streaming so far. You may be in a location with electrical interference causing your issues or have a non compatible phone. I love mine, have Costco look at your problem. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I have a Samsung S20 FE which is not on Jabra's compatibility list, but the S20 is as is he S21 FE. Was your android on the list?

@@ronmarzy3219 Mine is an obsolete A53 and wasn't on the list when I bought them. I think it just means you use Bluetooth and not LE Audio.
