Is the Costco hearing test free?
Yes. Costco Hearing Aid Centres offer complimentary hearing tests; you call to book a no-obligation appointment. Costco notes the test is to find out whether hearing aids may help your hearing loss, not a medical diagnosis.
What comes with Costco hearing aids?
| Included | Detail |
|---|---|
| Trial period | 180 days |
| Loss and damage coverage | Complimentary, no deductible |
| Warranty | Complimentary; length varies by model |
| Follow-ups, cleaning, check-ups | Complimentary |
That 180-day trial is long: use it. Wear the aids in the places you struggle most (restaurants, meetings, the car) and go back for adjustments before you decide.
How do you compare Costco with a clinic?
Ask both for the total price per pair, what the warranty and loss coverage include, how many follow-up visits are included, and the trial length. Then check what your provincial program or insurance reimburses, since coverage rules differ by province.
Is it different in Quebec?
Yes. Costco notes that in Quebec only an audiologist can recommend the use of hearing aids.
