Hands down Costco! They performed a hearing test to find where in the low to high pitch range the loss was. I told the guy performing the test "I can hear leaves cracking under deers feet when the woods are quiet but I cant hear my turn signal beeper or watch alarm". He found all my loss was in the high pitch range.He tuned in the prescription I needed and said walk around the store for a while and listen to people. After 10 minutes I went back and bought them. They are behind the ear (I'm old and ugly and didn't care if they were construction green), they sell in the ear but they are not as good. Mine were around $1500 or $1600. My Grandfather gave $4000 for his that didn't benefit him with no money back guarantee. I had 5 months and 29 days to return mine for a full refund and no questions asked. I can't remember the length of warranty but I did have one replaced. I have had mine maybe 4 years. I worked as a Medic, 40+ years of sirens (that were mounted over head in the early years) and guns without hearing protection took its toll. My hearing was affecting my job. I'm semi retired and work an ambulance 3 or 4 times a month and only wear them when needed. I would without hesitation buy from them again, and have sang their praises to anyone with hearing loss.
