My XYL has been wearing a pair of that brand for several years, and 
likes them. Costco sells quality aids from several vendors at roughly 
half the cost from an audiologist practice, and our local Costco has an 
excellent hearing aid department. I'm retired from pro audio, where I 
had to learn a LOT about human hearing, how the ear and the ear/brain 
work. I went through the same examination that she did for her aids, and 
I sat in the room with her when they adjusted hers. (I didn't buy aids.) 
I was VERY impressed by the quality of the test equipment they used, 
their understanding of both the human and technology issues, and their 
professionalism. BTW -- I first learned about Costco as a source of aids 
from W6OAT, who at the time was on his second pair. Another NCCC member, 
N3ZZ, also wears aids from Costco.
