    Costco Hearing Aid Center - A few of the settings my dad can adjust via his phone.

No sound known to mankind could cause my dad's abused, octogenarian eardrums to vibrate...or at least that's what my mom and I *assumed*. After decades of stubbornness, he recently admitted to needing hearing aids and took the plunge. What better place to look than the Hearing Aid Store located conveniently at the local Costco? Prior to last week, my dad couldn't have heard a B-17 bomber crash dive into an Olympic-sized swimming pool filled with nitroglycerin. However, now that he's equipped with state-of-the-art, tailor-made hearing aids, he can hear a gnat fart from thirty feet across the room. Prior to purchasing the aids, my dad scheduled a hearing test with Isaac Rodriguez, who determined quickly that good ol' Pappy was indeed deafer than a door nail, post, bat, haddock, coot, adder, dormouse, dodo, and a host of other very scientific idioms. Mr. Rodriguez then created a pair of hearing aids based on my dad's laughably low-scoring hearing test. They were ready for pickup the following week. I won't pretend to be an authority on hearing aids, but I know they were once cumbersome, beastly things that ate up batteries faster than my Atari Lynx. The ones my dad purchased from Costco are anything but cumbersome; they're far less conspicuous than ear buds and run for nearly a week on one tiny 1.45-volt battery. Unless you were to look directly into his ears (please don't, you freak), you wouldn't even notice he was wearing hearing aids. Even cooler, the aids double as Bluetooth speakers, which means he can listen to music from his phone, answer calls, and hear text alerts directly in his ear holes*. Isaac also installed an app on my dad's phone that allows him to adjust the volume, treble, and bass frequencies of each hearing aid. The ability to adjust the frequencies comes in handy, because my dad likes his gangsta rap (okay, okay...his Patsy Cline and Perry Como songs) extra bassy. The best part of all (well, except for the fact that he can finally HEAR) is the cost. Most high-end hearing aids cost upwards of $7,000/pair, but my dad paid only $1,500. Even better, his insurance provider (United Healthcare Advantage) reimbursed him $500, bringing the cost down to $1,000. I have near-perfect hearing, but even I feel compelled to buy a pair at that cost. I would want mine to be large and obvious, though, because then I would garner sympathy from strangers. Just give me a wheelchair and an eye-patch, too, and I'd be set. If you or a loved one suffer from hearing loss, I would strongly recommend dropping by your local Costco Hearing Aid Center and taking a free hearing test. We have only five senses, so why let one of them go to waste? Well, as an intuitive/clairvoyant/clairsentient, I technically possess *six* senses, but I digress. My third eye/pineal gland is admittedly a little hazy lately, so I hope Costco will one day open third eye blindness testing center. *Fun tip: If the individual using the hearing aids suffers from schizophrenia, grab the cell phone and record nefarious messages seemingly from his or her dog. Remember, the hearing aids are equipped with Bluetooth, so only the wearer will hear the recordings. Play the messages back when the dog is nearby and watch hilarity ensue.

I thought I'd need to go to the place affiliated with my doctor. I paid $5000 out of pocket. The hearing aids themselves were good, but getting service for them was always a challenge because of staff turnover. This year, I went to a better audiologist who sold me the updated version of my last hearing aids. I only paid $2500 out if pocket because they work with TruHearing! And I get a 3 year warranty instead of Ear Medical's 2 year. Please shop around. Even Costco would be a better option. They inflate the price because the people who have to see an ENT are often scared, vulnerable, and don't know their options.

    I've been seeing the doctors here for around 8 years and I love the doctors and audiologists and…read morethat's why I always come back, but the billing department is such a headache. Asking for an itemized receipt seems to be very difficult. It could be the IT's fault but c'mon. I should be able to know every charge I'm being charged for when I leave building instead of being confused. Also why do the receptionist have to use a calculator for what I'm being charged for. That seems a little dated and should all be done on the computer. I feel frustrated every time I leave after an appointment. I've also had some issues with scheduling but that has gotten better over the years.

Barely any patients in the waiting room. I was taken to an exam room where I sat for 45 minutes. No one bothered to explain the wait. And so, I finally just left. Walking out, I saw Dr. Gordon sitting at a computer, staring into space. He looked at me as I walked by, but he said nothing. Frankly, my time is precious to me and being stashed in an exam room while being ignored is unacceptable. Bottom line, my right ear still hurts.

I went there thinking I would just pay my $60 copay then after all the tests and procedures were done I was given a bill for $252.20 to pay right there and then. Luckily I had just enough to cover that bill and the $5 for parking. If I would've known it was all going to be out of pocket I would have planned for when I could actually afford it instead of being put in a bind. U would think if it cost out of pocket they would inform u BEFORE they do everything to ensure u have the funds. Smdh.
