I am a costco employee. These comments and views are my own and do not reflect those of costco. I am not being paid by costco or ANY company or brand out there. I am simply trying my best to provide accurate, non biased information to help out folks that wear hearing aids. If you use any of these amazon links to purchase products, i get a TINY TINY slice of commision. Help a brother out! Love you guys!
I am one of the ones that complained that the Rexton BiCore were absolute horrible, the sound amplification for EVERYTHING around me was terrible, I was not able to understand group conversations, restaurants or God forbid outdoors. I sincerely hate those.
I then found the Signia Charge & Go 7-IX, and OMG…. what a difference! The Signia 7-IX are simply the best, it resolved all of the issues I experienced with the Rexton and beyond.
I am very happy to hear the Reach are the same as the 7-IX, and if true…..let me tell you, they will then be considered the best just as the 7-IX.
The one thing that you haven’t mentioned which is big for me, is that the Signia 7-IX gives you the opportunity to answer phone calls and talk without having to have the cellphone right by your mouth; I can now answer calls and have the cellphone elsewhere.
I hope that all the new Reach user have the same very happy experience I have with the Signia 7-IX.
I gather that you have an Iphone.
Super stoked I found this video!! I literally just bought a pair of Reach about 3 hours ago. Can’t wait to receive them next week. I’m coming off a 5 year old pair of Signia Pure Charge and Go.
Hello sir, I am so happy you made this channel! I can't believe I haven't come across this channel sooner. I am a HAD apprentice at Costco, I started back in Feb 2024. When I found out that you work at Costco I subscribed right away. The content you shared in this video was very informative and I'm so excited to go through all of your videos. I just finished the "BEST iPhone FEATURE" video.
Thank you for taking your time to create this amazing channel. I really appreciate it, it's really helpful. I feel like I have just found a gold mine.
P.S. if you have any general advice for a HAD apprentice please share.
Josh
Thanks for the great Reach video. I hope that the Bicore issues didn’t follow the Reach because I just purchased a pair. They sounded infinitely better than the Phillips and Jabra. Time will tell.
This is great news! I'm one of those guys who wrote you about the bluetooth connectivity issues with my BiCores. I hope they're really fixed them! The additional new features you described sound great too. I've got 3 more weeks left in my 6-month return policy. I'm definitely gonna switch out my BiCored for these Reach's.
Nice!
You are so much better than Cliff. No ego, just good info from you. I've an old pair of KS7's I like, and thinking of getting the Reach. Had the Philips but the BT was terrible on them & I preferred the sound of the old Rextons. I returned the Philips.
Yes! I much prefer the Hearing Club videos. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy and fun to watch. I’ve got an appointment to try out the Rextons next month and to return the 9040s I have now.

Good review touching on issues hearing aid users face. I’m a first time Costco hearing center user and ordered a Rexton Reach. Tried it in the store and really pleased. Better than Brand X that my insurance company allows.
Thanks! Can't wait for your full review; I'm looking at my 1st pair of hearing aids and was leaning towards Jabra, but now Rexton is in the mix.
Yes definitely keep Rexton on the table
Great videos. I had k9’s for 5 years and just a month ago was recommended Rexton. The Costco hearing provider did said that Jabra had a lot of issues. I like them but may have some streaming issues, but minor. Now I see Rexton has the new Reach. I have an appointment on Friday to discuss my options.
Great! Let us know how it goes and what you chose!
Great review! I’ve fit close to 70% of my members with the BICORE and fortunately did not have the same issues you spoke of-only a handful. I absolutely love how great the Reach sounds compared to our other products. Add that with great battery life and much smaller travel charger, and it’s just a no brainer for the majority of my members.
One aspect I think gets over looked by a lot of AUDs and HIS’ is the dome system. It is hands down the best for controlling the acoustics in the ear. The sleeve domes are the closest to a mold as you can get and are often times more comfortable. I wish Jabra and Philips had similar domes as most canals are not round, but oval shaped which the sleeve dome mimics very well.
Love the Cliff Olsen remark by the way 😂
I was just diagnosed as having enough hearing loss to need assistance devices. This review has helped me understand what was suggested i buy. I have low end hearing loss and am excited for crowd control hearing. I will try to update my experience after my fallow up
Thanks for the review. Look forward to hearing the feedback you get from your patients who you fit them with. Thanks Again!
Yes sir!
Great Vids Brian. 👍 First one that has spoken out about the issues with the Bicores. Mine are about 2 months old and I’ve been back about 4 times including a warranty repair that was moot as issues still remain. Biggest one is volume drop of about 30% in either one or the other. Switching off/on does not always reset as it may still have residual power. Back into the charger fixes it. This drop occurs at least once a week. I’m returning them at the end of month for refund. But I’m still undecided on Reach, Jabra or even the Philips. Sure they have a bigger form factor but do most things pretty well. Thoughts?
I bought mine about a 2 month ago, I called cosco asking about the new reach because I was having issues with the ones I bought ,and they said that maybe I just needed to get them programmed again that this new reach haven’t been in the market that long that ,all hearing aids have the same issues that if I changed them and didn’t like them I couldn’t not go back to the bicore because they are getting ready to discontinue.
Excellent Review of the features and real life examples provided for noise reduction and directional mics. I have the 9040's and was waiting for the 9050's but these look like an alternative to waiting; I'm a Costco Hearing Aid Center fan. I hope the recent announced pull of Reach will be short and I'll be able to get them soon.
Same here Tim and thank you so much 😊
I will be getting new Hearing Aids soon. When will you be reviewing the reaches? They look great but do they have any lagacy problems? Please give us some help soon.
They are everything that you described! Amazing sounding, compared to my KS10's, which were pretty good.
Yes! Glad im not the only one who thinks these sound great! Please keep us all updated and let us know how you make out. 🙏
Thanks for the review. This is really helpful for choosing a good product for my mom.
I’m trialing the Philips 9040s while waiting for the 9050. Now I’m seriously thinking about the Rextons. Do the Rextons have accelerometers to help with the multi voice focus 4 directional beams?
They do yes. Even the BiCores had motion sensors. Philips is one of the brands that was late to the game with motion sensor technology.
Ok I have the notorious Pixel 8 with all sorts of Bluetooth issues. Recently I had screen issues too. So after peeling myself off rhe ceiling I went about the process of getting the screen replaced. Wouldn't you know it but right after the screen was replaced the Bluetooth started to work much better. Perhaps the old screen was interfering with the Bluetooth radios or somesuch? Today I've had no dropouts or anything. They just worked.
Great video. I am going to keep a look out for additional videos regarding the Rexton Reach HAs. They appear to be very interesting in the challenging background noise environment. I especially like your comment about the Rexton Reach being able to connect simultaneously to an iPhone and iPad without the need to reconnect. I hope the switch to LE Audio doesn’t affect this capability.
Sounds good!
I was wondering what I should tell my Costco if I wanted to trade in my Philips 9040 for a new release of the latest model?
will the firm ware update be a download or a trip to costco?
I returned a pair of Rexton Bicores after several issues over 5 months. I’m now wearing old Costco one. Most of my problems were in small groups/restaurants. Your review makes me feels good that they will solve my issues. Will they sell me these after I made a return within the trial period? I’ve never returned any before. Thanks
Yes sir, if you are still within your 6 month return period, yes.
Brian can you recommend a model that helps mask my tinnitus? Is there one available in otc models? Thank you!!
Hey, I did buy those 9040s on eBay for $300. My Costco told me the warranty was no good since they had been replaced as “lost”. I called Philips and several told me the same thing until I got a sympathetic ear. I went to another Costco and they went the extra mile for me to verify that the “lost” pair are also covered as well. Gotta be persistent and not listen to BS and read the fine print for yourself. Thanks, Brian.
My pleasure!
6 months with the Jabras and I love them. Fantastic sound, zero phone or streaming issues and great battery life. Really great word recognition. When is Costco going to sell the streamer plus for auracast?
My Rexton Trax 42s took over 30 trips (80 miles round trip ) to Costco and a call to the head audiologist at Rexton to get programed. They had hardware bugs that weren't compatible with the firmware causing programing to change on its own like you were experiencing. That's why I wouldn't touch Rextons again.
Costco now has the tv streamer + for the Jabra’s, it’s available now.
@@HearingClub Thanks, they didn’t have them my last visit 3 weeks ago. Can't wait to try it.
I received my Rexton Reach almost a week ago from our local Costco. Day and night compared with the previous Serene I had for 6 weeks. I love those Reach ❤
But I had a glitch today, listening an Audible book: the sound would cut in one ear for a second or 2, then come back. After a few seconds or 1/2 minutes, it would cut again in the same ear or the other. I don't think that it's the same Bluetooth disconnect that affected the previous Rexton, I never had to reconnect the hearing aids with my iPhone since day one. Have you seen this glitch?
I still love these HA and how they perform inside and outside
Great question! This is something that seems to happen with most hearing aids. My Jabra’s do the same thing sometimes. I noticed that I could have the cheapest set of wireless Bluetooth earbuds and take them to the gym, listening to podcasts, music and they never once do this. I have a great connection, 100% of the time. But with my $1,600 Jabra hearing aids and pretty much all the hearing aids I test and try, the random 1 second cut offs happen, the same way you explain it. I don’t know why.
I’ve trialed the Starkey Genesis and the Signia silk charge and go . 30% hearing loss high frequency . Background noise is a real problem that I’m still dealing with . This is working with audiologist and professional set up . Will follow your channel as Costco is know for making great product including golf balls lol.. occlusion effect is also huge detraction for me . Will now put these on my radar . What’s the trial period from Costco . 45 days seems to be industry standard ?
6 months
I really appreciate the information. I hope you didn't just get yourself fired by assuming that it's now okay to talk about a product.
Continue being the BEST on CZcams!!
Awe thank you so much 😊
Great review new subscriber here .
Nice! Thank you for the support and I’m glad you enjoyed the review.
I paid $5,000 for my Signia Pure Charge&Go 5TXIs from my Audiologist, but those Rexton’s are technology levels 7s which would have cost me $6,500.
I have experienced the flaky Bluetooth and battery connection issues with the app. Phone calls and Bluetooth streaming can break up when I put my iPhone in my pocket.
Audiologists like to point out that they are made for hearing what’s in the air, but that doesn’t cut it anymore. We’re connected to our audio streams now.
Yes sir, these are the 7ix. And I see where you are coming from, I see both sides. Connectivity is everything now.
I tried to order the Rexton Reach at Costco today, they said they have pulled them and aren't selling them right now. What gives? They gave me the Jabra. Also they didn't know if the Rextons would ever have AuraCast I told her if they had LE they would certainly have AuraCast soon as a firmware update. I'll switch to Rexton as soon as they get them, six months to do so. Tried to get the AuraCast transmitter for my TV and was told they don't have them. But you said they do? Are they in the TV section of Costco or does she just don't know what she's talking about?
The tv streamer plus is the Jabra tv streamer that uses auracast. You need to order it from the hearing aid center.
@@HearingClub That's just it, they claim they have no idea what they are or how to get them.
Is the Rexton Reach as easy to use as my K10s, I am so used to the buttons on the K10s ... I'm looking to replace my K10s after almost 3 years. They just are not great in noisy places and restaurants.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S23. With my Jabras, I'm having the well-known Bluetooth android issues. They seem to be getting worse. I'm just under 6 months now. Have you gotten feedback on the Reaches' android BT connectivity compared to the Jabra-enhance-pro-20s? Any other suggestions other than changing to an iPhone, which I'm not going to do?
I have the Rexton Reaches, and the bluetooth connectivity is rock solid with my Pixel 8. I returned the Jabra Enhance Pro 20s because the bluetooth connectivity was so bad. To me the sound quality and the MyVoice feature of the Reaches are superior to the Jabras. (I previously wore Signia 7X) I exchanged just under the six month time. Costco was very accommodating. Still does not fix my understanding of voice in noise, but no hearing aid has been able to do that for me.
I purchased the Rexton Bi-Core hearing aids from Costco about 1.5 years ago. I can’t seem to get balanced sounds. The sound seems good for a little while after getting adjusted but ends up like I lost the my personal hearing settings that was set. Would Costco accept a return of my old 1.5 year old model and I upgrade to the Rexton Reach? I feel the bi-core Costco hearing aids could be good if programmed correctly. I am having a hard time hearing people in a group setting. Your video tutorial is really helpful and I would like to upgrade to the new Rexton Reach hearing aid to make my life more enjoyable.
All you can do is ask my friend. Talk to your fitter and see what they say. If it’s been more than 6 months, the chances and pretty slim but I would still ask
I’ll probably upgrade so I can hear various voices in groups. The Bi-Cores seems to be losing the setting that the Costco tech set me at. I somehow can mainly hear amplified high pitches and very soft mids and lows which I am able to hear. The closed domes may be blocking out the mids and lows from the outside surroundings. I would suggest if the mids and lows can also be amplified as well when closed domes are installed. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you for making these Rexton hearing aid videos.
Do these have the tap to answer feature with iPhones?
You can either tap it or press the button, not sure which but you can answer the phone e using the hearing aid.
I've noticed when you talk about four beams, the animation only shows three beams.
Ok 👍
How do you think these would compare to the Widex which is also made by WS. I have the BiCore and looking for the best aids for playing acoustic guitar.
Well it depends on which widex. I would also have to check out the fitting software of the widex aids. For example, the Signia brand is pretty much the same thing as the Rexton. The software is nearly identical. Both from the same manufacturer and both use the same software. I know widex is made by them as well and I would assume they are very similar but I haven’t had a chance to fit any.
I just picked up my Jabra a few days ago. Is it better to switch ? Having no issues w jabra
Nooooo, keep your Jabra’s lol. If you have a pair of hearing aids that work, don’t mess it up!
Help! Does anyone know when Costco is coming out with new Custom In-the-Ear models based on the newer RIC internals?
No I’m sorry.
When is the 9050 comming and how do you think it will compare. Thanks for what you do..
Ooh idk but i can’t wait to compare them!
I just got an email from Jabra giving me $300 discount on the Enhance 500. But I already had scheduled an appointment with Costco.
Nice! That’s a great discount!
I have a pair of Rexton hearing aids that I just walked from Costco and I’m having nothing but trouble with them and I got an appointment to go back Monday at 10 o’clock to see what’s gonna happen but they sound like they got a lot of hashing going on inside of them and then sometimes I can’t get them on just don’t come on. I don’t know. It’s kind of complicated to say it’s hard. I’m an 84 year old man and I guess you could understand that.
I certainly do understand and I feel for you man. It’s a lot of new stuff and new technology that you didn’t really grow up with so I get it. If they won’t come on I’m assuming you aren’t getting any sound at all and if that’s the case, it’s most likely wax. Talk to your provider and they’ll either fix it or replace it if it’s still under warranty. Just talk to them and they’ll point you the right way!
When talking to Costco HAs' several have told me Phillips have more natural sound and are a better choice for newbies than Jabra enhance pro 20. What are your thoughts.
This is what I tell everyone. Try/demo both hearing aids and go with whatever sounds better to you
Just purchased Rexton Bicore at Costco should I have waited? 🤔
That’s up to you my friend. I definitely am looking forward to the Rexton reach
Are the Rexton Reach compatible with Android? I have a Pixel phone and have a lot of connection issues with the Jabra GN 20's I've had for over 4 months now. Also, can the buttons on the hearing aids be used to pause what you're streaming?
They are somewhat compatible with android. Depends on the phone and whether you are talking about streaming or just using the app. And no sir, you can’t pause streaming with the buttons.
Rexton says that they will need a "straightforward" firmware update to be ready for Auracast and LE audio. Is that update ready?
No sir, it that I’m aware of. When this update is available, I’ll be the first to let you all know!
Question, I hate using the buttons. Can I answer the phone by tapping the hearing aid on the new Rexton Reach? And does it work well, my hearing aid (3 year old Costco) cancels the call about 20% of the time I try to answer the call.
You can, if you have an iPhone. It does have touch control for iPhones.
@@HearingClub Thanks, I am in need of new aids so have to decide on which one at Costco.
Sent my KS10 back under warranty for battery replacement at 2.75 yrs old. Took 10 days. No loaners were offered! Is this normal procedure at Costco?
I would say it depends. When someone brings in their aids that need to be repaired, we know our patients really well and the folks that have severe to profound losses are usually offered loaners because we know they can’t be without their aids. For other folks that can still get by, we don’t proactively offer loaners but if they ask, we will provide them IF we have available loaners. We like to save them for folks that really need them.
Question for you... this past week I was turned down for purchasing hearing aids because my left ear hearing was profoundly bad. I practically begged to be able to buy (Rexton Reach) and was told they cannot sell them to me. Is this normal and is this the practice at every Costco?
Well I have to assume there’s more to the story. There are some red flags that require a medical referral to an actual doctor before we can sell you hearing aids. I’m guessing that this is the case for you. Yes, there are certain conditions and circumstances that require us to wait for a doctors approval.
@@HearingClub Thank you for your reply.
you mentioned the new rexton does not have auracast yet ? so the tv streamer they offer is not auracast ? why did they leave this off ? I own the jabra 20 from costco but I woul dlove to try the Rexton but I love the TV streamer +
The Rexton tv streamer is the same streamer that the previous generations use. It does not use auracast
I’m picking up my Jabras today (Thursday). Should I try them both ? The jabra and Rexton Reach before I leave Costco?
yes, I would.
Absolutely! This is one of the only places that allow you to actually demo multiple brands and they are all great, respectable manufacturers. Yes! Try them both 100%
Ty sir, great advice
Any idea when or if they would be available in Canada? I’ve got Bernafon and do not like them. These are my first ones and they constantly restart. I’ve got tinnitus bad on my right ear. Going to get new ones soon and looking at some at our Costco.
I’m sorry I really have no idea about the availability in Canada 😔
Thank you for getting back to me so fast. Keep up the great work. You give everyone a chance to see what’s out there.
I was at Costco yesterday and they have the Reach available.
What ia the comparison bwteen the Jabra enhanced Pro 20 and the Rexron Reach
There’s so many differences, I couldn’t list them here, I’ll try to make more comparison videos when I have time
Hello, You mentioned that you can pair the Rexton hearing aids simultaneously together on a iPad and iPhone. I can’t find how to do this. I have the Bi-Cors and have the Rexton App on both devises. I am constantly switching from one to another. If Bluetooth is on in both devices, my hearing aids keep cutting out and losing left or right signals. How can I sync both devices together? Thank you
I also wondered about that because that ability is not mentioned anywhere in either Rexton or Signia documentation. Could it be the device that his friend is using (IPad) that is able to facilitate the pairing and not his hearing aides. Not that I understand Bluetooth much myself. It would be very neat to get Rextons to pair to two devices simultaneously.
@@polarbearhero9803 I wish that he would reply back. It’s been almost 2 weeks. That feature would help tremendously. I just went in to Costco’s hearing aid center a few days ago and spoke to the hearing specialist. She said that feature does not exist. I showed her the post and showed her the video and she still said there’s no way She said in order to stop my hearing aids from cutting out and trying to connect to both devices. That I have to either turn off one of the devices completely or turn off Bluetooth on the other device. Pretty much only one device at a time. Definitely frustrating.
How are these for riding a peddle bike?
I have no idea? What attributes would make them good for riding a peddle bike. And what’s a peddle bike? A bike with pedals?
i have tried the new rexton for 3 weeks. the sound quality is amazing. the problen with them is their blue tooth is horrible compared to the Jabras. they have poor distance. My Jabras had alot of feedback even is they were just laying on a table. is it possible that my costco fitter has the gain to high? Love all you do. your fan on Arizona. bill
I have the Rexton bicores over two years and really never have had connectivity issues at all. All the connectivity issues is related to settings on the phone. You need to allow the program to run in the background if not it will disconnect then. Never had an issue with loosing the programming options in the app. The only time when i was messing with the app and i reset it by mistake
That’s great! Not everyone had these issues but enough of them did that I just couldn’t fit them anymore . Not all were affected for sure. And I’m glad you like them, they’re great aids.
ordered a pair today...my jarbra's were 6 months and 7 days old, so no refund...timing is everything. they said i could hook them up to the same phone. i like the jabras for tv.
Do you know if these would pair and work with a signia IX cros device ?
No sir, they would not talk to each other. With a cross configuration you have one real hearing aid on one side and a fake hearing aid with a microphone on the other side. It just wouldn’t make any sense. Are you wanting to get rid of the cross configuration and use 2 real hearing aids? One signia aid and one Rexton?
@@HearingClub thank you for your response. I have ks10 but couple years ago one ear went dead /SSD. After that I was able to get a phonak cros to pair with my working left ear’s ks10. I currently have a ks10 on left ear that pairs with a phonak cros on right. I was just trying to see if I get Rexton reach from Costco if it would pair with signia cros, but I think I’ll try to find a Rexton provider that could get me a Rexton cros to pair with Costco Rexton reach. I noticed there are not many Rexton providers near me, outside of Costco.
Does the replaceable Rexton Reach batteries have better battery life than the replaceable Bicore ones? I have the Rexton bicores and have had no problems with connecting. I do find that I only get about 10 hours on my battery. My old Phonex got close to a week on a battery. ( I have replaceable batteries due to being deaf in one ear and not wanting to worry about sending it in if a rechargeable goes out.)
I’m so sorry, I’m not sure what you are trying to ask. The Rexton Reach is rechargeable and has a very long capacity of up to 34 hours.
@@HearingClub I can't use the rechargable, only the replaceable. Is that battery also extended?
How is the quality of streaming music? I am very disappointed with streaming quality of my Jabras.
They’re not made for that so they don’t sound good. You need a nice pair of headphones for listening to music
Music with the Oticon More is great. I assume Phillips is also great.
Hand Dryers, like a freaking leaf blower in an enclosed space. If you weren't a candidate for hearing aids, you will be. Hate these Hand Dryers!
Yes sir! That sounds about right lol
Am using Jabra enhance pro 20 from Costco for four months now. Jabra was recommended by the audiologist. It's connected to my android phone. I have all those issues you mentioned like disconnected Bluetooth, only one aid connected sometimes, no sound at all streaming to name a few. I have two more months to return and get another one. Do you recommend any other better than Jabra or it is not worth the hassle. Thank you.
For me, it’s worth the hassle. I have an iPhone and these are ALL made for iPhone hearing aids. When I got my iPhone, most of the issues went away.
@@HearingClub thank you for prompt response. I will switch to iPhone soon.
@@HearingClubyou mean I should try Rexton Reach or try Jabra with an iPhone?
@@HearingClubI’ve been using my KS9s since 2020 and am using them with an android phone. . I’d like new aids, but I have the distinct feeling that the newer aids don’t work as well with android compared to the ks9s. Could you alleviate this feeling that I have? I really don’t want to switch to iPhone.
@@chachabooom5 This may be unwelcome advice, but I was a staunch Android user for about 20 years. Everyone else in my family is iphone, so I recently, reluctantly, switched to iphone. It took me about a week to adjust to their way of doing things, but once done, it is a beautiful system. EVERYTHING "just works" I don't remember if I have K8 or K9 HAs from Costco, but they are the last version offered without bluetooth, so its been a while. I am currently testing the Philipps 9040s, but I have to turn them in this Friday and I'll be ordering the Rextons based on this review. Good luck
I saw a chat where they said the Rexton Reach was withdrawn temporarily from Costco due to an issue. Any one know if this is real?
Yes! It’s real… I can’t believe it. I’ll be updating everyone tonight
Have you fitted anyone since the software update?
I verified everything was working by fitting myself and testing everything out today. They seem to work just fine.
Thanks. Just saw your video with the update from last night.
Hopefully the price will drop
Ya that would be great!
Does Costco accept care credit for payment?
I know they accept HSA payments, I’ll have to double check on care credit. You can always call and ask, they very well may accept it!
Would you recommend this hearing aid for severe case hearing?
Sure! All of the Costco hearing aids can accommodate very mild to severe/profound hearing loss.
@@HearingClub That is not what my Costco hearing fitter told me at my last visit. I have mid to severe hearing loss. I had the Jabras and could not hear well on my right hearing aid (muffled sound). He tried different domes which did not better the issue. At the end, he told me that my hearing loss was too bad and that the Jabras would not help me and he even suggested I needed a cochlear implant. Yeah, right??!! Plus, he rushed me through the appointment (4:30pm) and said he needed to clock out and that he did not have more time for me. Seriously??
Will these be able to accommodate progressive hearing loss?
Got fitted with them on Wednesday. The fitting process went well. After we walked around the store doing some shopping while I was wearing them. I was amazed at how well I could hear the conversations of people around us and the sound was much more natural than I expected. I could even hear my wife when we separated some distance. This is going to take more time to get used to and I was having some upset stomach symptom the first couple of days that I hope is temporary. I have them paired with my iPhone and am learning the Rexton app and different programs the tech installed. I love the iPhone feature where Siri reads text and calendar notices to me. Streamed content and music sounds strange to me and not real happy with that. I heard the high pitch from the bird feeder yesterday and looked over to see a male Cardinal and thought, I never knew they sounded like that. These are just first impressions with less than 12 hours of wear time.
I recently bought the Jabra enhanced Pro 20 from Costco. Unfortunately, they will not connect with my chromebook via bluetooth like my KS10's do. Will the Rexton Reach's connect to a laptop? That's a dealbreaker for me. Thank you for your great reviews!
I’m not sure, I doubt it. The phonak hearing aids use a different type of Bluetooth or take a different approach. They aren’t locked down like all the others. Stick with your ks10’s if it’s that important to you.
Two questions 1 what are you wearing now? 2 will new Jaba connect to two devise at same time. Thanks

I had Jabra’s a year ago but having to shut down my iPhone to use my iPad was a real pain!
I just got my pair of enhance select 500’s, I’ll do some testing
Is $1,499 the actual price?
Yes sir
Rexton or
phillips 9050
Oof, great question. Before I can answer that, I really need to fit a bunch of each. I won’t recommend anything to you folks until I fully test them and get the patients feedback. The only reason I suggest the Jabra’s and Philips 9040 is because I know and trust them. I have fit hundreds and they are both amazing hearing aids. This takes time and I will get back to you eventually lol.
Cost?
1,499.99
@@HearingClub I’m picking up my Jabra Pro 20s at Costco tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes. I was more excited about it until I watched this review but I don’t think I’ll be disappointed
@@HearingClub picking up my Jabra Pro 20s at Costco tomorrow. I was more excited BEFORE I watched this video 🙂. I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on my purchase so I'm sure I'll be really happy with the Jabras...... I think! 😁
I have none of the issues he speaks of with Bicore.
That great! Not all are affected.
Did I detect a rift between you and Dr. Cliff? Personally I’m not a fan of his.
I wouldn’t say there’s a rift, I just kind of lost respect for him. I used to really look up to the guy, he is very knowledgeable but now, after hearing how he is misleading folks telling them not to go to Costco… that’s utter complete b.s. Costco in my opinion is one of the BEST, If not the best place to get the very best prescription hearing aids for a fraction of the price.
@@HearingClub True if all their fitters are as good as you are.
Would this be your #1 choice out of all the Costco hearing aides?
It really depends on the next few months. I’m going to be fitting a lot of these and if they don’t have the same issues that some of the bi cores had, it may be a top choice for sure. You have to remember, not everyone wants to hook their hearing aids up to their phone. Not everyone needs or wants all the bells and whistles. My main issue is noise and background noise and it’s gonna be hard to beat Jabra’s noise reduction. It’s hard to say and I can’t really say which hearing aid is the best.
45 seconds into the this vid's intro I quit. Later dude...
Howcome?
I saw a chat where they said the Rexton Reach was withdrawn temporarily from Costco due to an issue. Any one know if this is real?
Yes, this is real 100%. I was so excited and optimistic too
??!!!!
What's the issue?
@@karynschlinkert5503 A fitter on Facebook says it's not a recall of the hearing aids themselves, but the fitting software they use to program the HA's for your personal hearing.
I went to Costco today to ditch my Jabra’s. Too many problems in the first few months, ending with a completely new pair after multiple repairs on the first set. Now they’re(the new set) wigging out on me, one of them anyway. Very interested in the Rexton Reach, but temporarily have some loaner BiCore’s until they get some Reach loaners, and make sure the software issue is fixed. I’m excited to get them.
