Hello, all, I am new to here! I am so glad to learn about this forum! how are you guys doing?
I am a Phonak Claro user for many years and now it out of power and I need new aids. I am suggested with Phonak Naida V, widex Mind 330/440.. Since I have to pay for hearing aids, cost is the concern. I have seen so many people are using and happy with Phonak Naida here and I also a Phonak user, so I am considering Naida.
I got two quotes from local audiologists and one online:
a. $4800 for both ears, both with life time service, 2yrs warranty+loss damage; and
b. $4200 with two years service (not lifetime) + 2 yrs warranty.
c. Online offers $1600 each, $3200 in total, with 2 years warranty +loss damage. The sales told me adjustment fee local could be $25- $45/ time.
It is hard to make decision without more info..
1. In general, how many times of adjustments normally needed for a phonak user to upgrade (my case, Claro to Naida)?
2. Did anyone has happy experience with Phonak older model but not happy with newer models?
3. Which is better, 2 yrs vs lifetime service? $1000 vs $1800, or $25-$45/time adjustment?
4. has anyone purchased from hearingaidsexperts.com?
Your suggestions, please?
Many thanks!
