Costco only
Traditional prescription hearing aid
By severity
Moderately severe hearing loss
PTA 56–70 dB HL (Pure Tone Average at 500, 1000, 2000 Hz)
Above the FDA OTC scope. Costco prescription (Rexton Reach, Jabra Enhance Pro 30, Sennheiser Sonite R) or audiologist-dispensed prescription is recommended.
This band is beyond the FDA's OTC scope — professional fitting is the appropriate route. Why OTC devices stop at moderate loss.
What you typically experience
- Cannot follow conversation without hearing aids
- Phone calls extremely difficult
- Misses doorbells, alarms, environmental sounds
Recommended device classes
- ✓ Costco prescription fitting
- ✓ Independent audiologist fitting
This severity is beyond what most Costco aids can handle. An audiologist will fit with appropriate Power BTE or BTE form factors.
