Costco’ s Hearing Aid Centres are helping members stay connected easily and affordably.
BY LAURA BODE
With Australia’ s ageing population, about 3.6 million people have some level of hearing impairment, ranging from difficulty having conversations in noisy environments to total hearing loss.
So, it comes as no surprise that the huge impact Costco’ s Hearing Aid Centre has already had on thousands of Costco members and their families over the past 15 years will only continue to grow.“ Our ability to hear connects us to family, friends and community,” says Anthony Navarra, Costco Australia hearing aid buyer.“ Our goal is to find the most leading-edge technology at affordable prices to help our members enjoy the best communication possible for their day-today activities.”
Decades of experience
Since its inception in 1989, Costco’ s Hearing Aid Centres are now in more than 754 Costco warehouses in 13 countries around the world.
“ Our licensed staff works to determine if a member can be helped by the use of hearing aids, through free on-site hearing tests,” explains Navarra.“ Our dispensing team discusses any hearing loss with the member and finds out what their individual lifestyle requirements are so that a‘ best features on the right product’ match can be made with the member’ s needs in mind.”
As the result of exceptional customer service, pricing and hearing aid device features, Costco has recently been noted as the best hearing aid retailer in Australia. >
