Could be worse. My father in law has cochlear implants because polio wrecked most of his hearing as a child. To get the cochlear implants they had cut off 100% of his natural hearing. Without the cochlear implants he is now totally 100% deaf - nothing at all.
He says all he can hear is his own brain, which is quite noisy - lots of gurgling and static.

least he knows he has got one!

SubscriberBest thing I ever did. It wasn't fair to my family, nor was it fair to me. I used to silently curse my dad when he refused to do anything about his deafness, and then found I was doing the same thing, isolating myself. Jan used to have to speak loudly to be heard, and I was shouting because I could not hear myself. It all turned around when I got my aids.Welp

I can't speak for the Costco ones. I got a sub because of my carer's pension. You get basic aids for free, but I paid about the same as the Costco ones and got a higher level.
One thing I got, which is worth it's weight in bright shiny stuff, is a thing I hang around my neck that pairs with my aids so I can control the volume etc. That is not so much, but it also pairs with my phone, so I can listen to music or books etc., but even better functions as a handsfree. I sure get some strange looks in the supermarket when I use that. Dunno if the Costco ones offer that, but I'd be surprised if they didn't. There is also a neat device that hooks up to the TV so I don't deafen the rest of the house trying to hear.
Go for it, Dave.

You can control them from your phone I am told

SubscriberMy particular ones won't pair directly with my phone, there has to be the third party thing around my neck. I believe the more expensive ones will. But, I can still control volume and balance with my phone app. There is even an app to help control tinnitus, but I have not used it. My brand is Phonak. Oh, and i can mute them when I'm in the carpetless D1.
I had serious trouble with the over the ear type that I first had, as I sweat heavily from my head. The aids themselves are waterproof, but the battery compartment is not, and the aids would turn off. This was really problematic in Thailand in April! I now have in the ear type aids, which are nowhere near as good or comfortable. When I can afford them I'll go back to the other type, but rechargeable, to do away with the battery door.
