Recommended Replacement HA for Phonak at HearUSA

I am fortunate to have insurance that covers each for up to $2500. every three years, but I am mandated to go to Hear USA. I have had my Phonak Lumity 70 through HearUSA for 4 1/2 years, and they no longer offer the Phonak line at a reasonable price compared to Signia, Widex, and Rexton. My Lumity 70 cost me $500. out of pocket. They claimed that the Signia 5IX or the Widex Allure 330 would be comparable to my tier of Phonak 70. Those would cost $600. out of pocket for the pair, while the Phonak 70 would now be $2000. I would like to stay in the Phonak family of HA since I've had Marvel and Lumity, but not at their quoted price. I would appreciate comments about the affordable options above, and any recommendations you might have.

They're all good devices. See if you can try both and see which one you prefer as they each process sound very differently. If you have a strong preference you'll know which one to pick. If you don't then it'll be about what you value and if it's speech in noise performance the Signia devices will probably perform better than the non- Widex Allure. The Allure AI 330's are a different product and their AI is a manually activated option. Signia's multi-stream microphone options are automatic, but the IX product doesn't use AI. A replacement is due to be launched within the next month or so and is being teased online.
