Need for better Hearing Aid (HA) and Provider Selection Information

My experience at Costco In Eden Prairie, MN was just the opposite. The person who took care of me, Scott, was ALWAYS available for a personal or phone appointment. He adjusted my Kirkland (Phonak Marvel) hearing aids so I could hear well in a noisy restaurant. I was so grateful for that.
I later got hearing aids from the VA which were very similar to the Phonaks I got from Costco but the Phd audiologist was not nearly as competent as the person from Costco and no audiologist has been able to make the adjustment for noisy restaurants that the Costco person did.

I have no complaint on Costco as my experience with my insurance appointed HearUSA is about the same. Majority of Costco's HA cost around $1,500. I went for the Resound which cost $2,600. I have used 4 pairs of HA so far - 3 Signia and one Resound. I don't like all of them and lost faith with HA as they are only 70-80% effective. I still have trouble hearing soft conversation. And the worst was too much outside noises that the audiologists didn't know how to suppress or stop amplifying them. While I was watch TV, the noises people walking on wooden floor behind me , and the noises that my wife was washing plates were too hard to bare. Does anyone didn't have these problems?
