By severity

Moderately severe hearing loss

PTA 5670 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.

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.
