Sennheiser from Costco, what features are missing?

Great, thanks for info. Until now I used two smartphones

Edit:
Amplifon isn’t available for my region. Tried with myPhonak Junior app, but it not works even with Paradise.

I used MyPhonak Jr also. It should work. I use a Samsung 23.

Ummm. I think Costco has only about 627 stores in the US. The original notice indicated about 150 locations would be carrying Sennheisers…

Yeah, my bad. Don’t remember where i got that number.

I just got the new Sennheiser hearing aids. I had previously tried the Jabra and the Philips ones and really didn’t like either of them. One of them—I think it was the Jabra—had a real problem with occlusion. That feeling of talking with the sound like you’ve got both fingers stuck in your ears all the time.

I had previously had a pair of Costco rebranded Phonaks, which were the Marvels. They were fantastic and a quarter of the price of what you’d normally pay. This was when I was in Australia.

These new Sennheisers are excellent. The sound is very similar to the aids I just had. They do have the push button to receive and end calls, which the other one didn’t have. I got the last of the ones with batteries, not the rechargeable battery, and that would probably be my only complaint with these ones. The battery life doesn’t seem to be very good. It chews a lot of battery life on the actual phone itself, and if you’re running for a long day, you’ve got a high risk of running out of battery by the end of the day. The case doesn’t charge itself.

I think the Philips and the Jabras, the cases were actually chargers, so you could just carry your case around and throw your aids in, and they’d be recharging. But with this, you need an actual power source. That would be the downside.

I’m going to keep my old ones for when I’m traveling and doing long plane trips and that stuff, because sure as nuts, I’d be running out of juice on these aids by then.
