Or something like this in the back country. Never had a battery fail yet. LOL

If I lose another aid I will reevaluate then.

Please report back once you get them, I would be interested in hearing first-hand impressions/reviews

Although Rasmus Braun justifiably split off some posts that digressed from direct discussion of KS10’s, in answer to questions raised as to why is Phonak making KS10’s available so soon after the release of the Paradises, I’d like to suggest that it might be an indication that another premium HA (or firmware update) from Phonak is already well on the way. IIRC, with the Marvels, there was a firmware update for them that the KS9’s did not get (at least right away). So possibly there might be some forthcoming differentiating factor relative to further BT developments (BT LE Audio?) or AI in HA’s that Phonak first makes available in its top tier aids that differentiates Paradise devices or their successors from the KS10. No matter what, KS10’s give everyone an opportunity to try out the (almost?) latest and greatest Phonak technology at an unbeatable price and allows Phonak to have its cake and eat it, too, in covering market tier pricing and service options. For me, it makes it almost a no-brainer when my insurance coverage rolls over in October, 2021, to try out Phonak technology in comparison to ReSound’s. Love the competition. Great for the consumer!

Has anyone used a up receiver with a rechargeable ha? This is almost too good of a deal to pass up but I wear my ha for about 16 hours a day with very light streaming and I wonder if the battery will hold up with their strongest receiver.

The only way you’re going to know is to try it. You’ve got 6 months to make up your mind. If they don’t cut it, hopefully the Brio 5 will be out by then.

Have any of our UK forum/Costco members received any info as to when the Kirkland Signature 10.0 will be available here? Looking on the Costco UK website they are still pushing the KS 9.0.

You can store two devices. KS10 allows you to store 8 devices and connect to two at the same time.

Thanks, tired of saying it

What do you mean ‘locked’?

I’ve made that point numerous times. However, their Resound and Phillips aids are locked to best of my knowledge. I’ve stated that in numerous posts but was responding to the specific question of what “locked” meant.

the ks10 and phonak are lithium rechargable batteries, older aids used nicad which did not last as long. Phonak web site says 5 year battery life. Android problem were that phones needed android 10 and some companies were slow to update…enjoy

Thank you for clarifying. Would never try to adjust myself! Where I purchase is where I feel should adjust them.

Locked doesn’t just apply to adjusting hearing aids yourself. It also means if you cannot (or choose not to) go to a Costco for an adjustment, no other audiologist can adjust them. (Note: just referring to Phillips and Resound Costco aids being “locked.”)
