When will the Sennheiser Sonite Rise arrive at Costco and which Phonak model will it be comprable to

1. Sonite R ≈ Audéo Lumity
2. Sonite Rise ≈ Audéo Infinio

I believe the Sonite Rice will be released very soon.

You should be in a situation to return the R and then get the later technology with the Rise. A good thing.

Thanks for the info. I will do some research and look into it.

i30, i50, i70 or i90? Hope it will be the 90.

I went to Sennheiser’s page from the link in the instructional videos (selected “USA” as the market)… hopefully available in the very near future.

In simple terms, if possible, what separates the Rise from the rest of the Costco lineup?

I currently have Jabra 10’s that have been troublesome the whole time. When they work they are good for me but I expect mine to fail sometime soon, like they have for the entire duration I have owned them.

Bonus points if you can tell from my audiogram if these could work for my loss profile

They should work for you: their fitting range accommodates mild to profound hearing loss.

The primary distinction between Sennheiser and other hearing aids lies in their utilization of Bluetooth Classic technology, which allows the aids to connect to anything that has BT without accessories (just like any regular bluetooth headset).

Is Sennheiser better or worse than other brands at Costco? All the brands are competitive, and Sennheiser is essentially a rebadged Phonak Infinio I90, which is a great hearing aid. Opinions on which is best : That depends on who you ask.

Is the Rise available in the US already ? I went to Costco yesterday and they had the Sonite R on display.

Or did you get the Sonite R ?

Definitely the Rise

Great ! You will be the first one to give us a full report

Or the fitter made a mistake because he/she was used to order those for the Sonite R

I’ll call them and ask about the receivers - I don’t know anything about which receivers it should come with, let’s see what they say…..

They usually have those at the stores like they have domes and other supplies

@alcorey Were you satisfied with the service provided by the audiologist/hearing aid dispenser at Costco? Did they perform real ear measurement (REM)? What was the hearing test like? Just tonal? Was a word recognition test included?

I have read and heard very different opinions about Costco Hearing Centers, so I am interested in yours. Thanks.
