(More customer reviews)I searched for a place where I could try out the Siemens' top of the line hearing aid. I have been using hearing aids for the past 15 years, and the last time I putchased a set was 2002, and I was afraid that these eight year old aids would soon fail. At the time I bought these, they were among the highest priced and recommended, and were not Siemens. In July 2p1p I found the Siemens being sold by COSTCO, and they allowed a full 90 days trial during which I could return them for a full refund. I boutght them partially based on the "Bluetooth" feature included, along with ear molds, BTE and in the ear speakers connected witha wire, rather than a hollow tube.. Total price for the pair was just over $2200, a bargain.
I tried out the new hearing aid for over six weeks, as I knew it took some time to accommodate to a new device. Then I returned the whole package to COSTCO and got my full refund. WHY?: I tried out every aspect of the Siements several times and wore them continuously for those six weeks. I found that the basic sound propagation quality of the device was significantly inferior to my eight year old hearing aid. I did find out that the in-the-ear speakers did deliver good quality sound when using the Bluetooth option, which apparently meant that the Siemens' microphone/amplifier in the BTE unitwere the cause of the poor sound quality when I was not using the Bluetooth component.
Another thing I did not like about the Siemens was that the BTE had no volume control that I, the user, could access. To adjust the volume I had to return to COSTCO for the hearing aid tech to use her software tochange the volume setting.
I do admire Siemens offering their products at much lower prices than most of their competitors, BUTthere is still a great need in the industry for the provision of performance specifications of their devices. And for independent testing and evaluation.
