New Costco Kirkland Signature model?

[Verlyn Claxton]

I have been told Costco is introducing a new model hearing aid that will be bluetooth enabled. Does anyone have any information about that?

[gkumar]

Really? I'd be interested in learning more about that. Where did you get this info?

Costco almost always sells products already made by others under their own name and just rebrands them w. the "Kirkland" name. They may disable some features on electronic devices so they can sell at a lower price and still not be competing w. the mfr. selling the full-featured product.
They never, as far as I know, have sold a product w. more features than is already on the market.

I just spoke to a representative at the Costco in Hackensack, NJ. He also has heard the rumors that Costco is coming out with Bluetooth capable aids, but has not received any confirmation from the company yet. He is researching the rumor. When I hear back from him, I will update the post.

Ah ok. Thanks. Although Costco may remove some features, they probably sell these hearing aids at a much cheaper price too, no?

My source thinks it may be within 2 weeks. Made by Rexton, like the current Signature. No info on cost.

Does anyone know what Rexton the current Kirkland Signature2 GEM compares to?

The Costco near my work is across the street from their corporate headquarters. They have 2 full time technicians. When I was in there a couple of weeks ago they said a new Rexton model would be coming out that supported bluetooth. Regarding the Kirkland Signature, they compared it as a hybrid between the Siemens Pure 700/500....if you will something akin to a 600. From a visual standpoint it looks just like the Pure. There are post here that mention most of the features on those HAs.

I am ordering my pair tomorrow. They come with a remote and BLU RCU which allows you to connect to most mobile phones, stereos, TVs or other popular devices. It acts as a remote for TV' and such by plugging it into the audio connection.
$2000 for the AIDS and $500 for the remotes
