I encounter the same situations - very frustrating. Would you let me know which hearing aids you try. I have tried Octicon and Phonak but the clarity is not there if you are talking with more than one person.

As I said before the Signia AX are not there yet either.
Because of this group my next Signia IX hearing aids will have the telecoil feature. I don’t think she would have included that feature if I didn’t bring it up.
Thanks to everyone in the group for sharing their experiences.

I am trying the Jabra. Like you, I tried the Octicons and was ready to purchase but quickly changed my mind as same issues as Rextons so I I went back to Costco. I like their availability and pricing. They are so there for you. I have used their Rextons for 4 or 5 years now and I struggled as I said with the same with the Oticons, clarity missing in more than three people or service people out in public and on the phone. My first IRC’s were Oticon and I did well with them until they wore out and from there on my hearing has been a (left out in left field) experience ever since.

I’m trialing the Jabra hearing aids! So far no better! Than my Rexton! I tried through an audiologist the Icticons and was ready to purchase but changed my mind as I was still experiencing the lack of clarity! The audiologists were not as available as Costco is and they were way across town and I go to that end as rarely as possible at my age! I like Costco’s team! They are very available and so nice! My audiologist works very hard for me and truly cares! I’ll post my success once I’m done which may be weeks as it will be ongoing for quite a while I imagine! Thanks for your reply!
