Emily Wagener, Sr. HR Analyst
City Hall
121 5th Ave N
Edmonds, WA 98020
Dear Ms. Wagener,
I visited Costco Friday PM after discussing with you the problem with my hearing aids.
Attached is the paid receipt when I purchased my current ones. That date was 8-14-20.
If you note the handwritten date was done by the clerk at Costco. This date is the date which the
Manufacturer's Warranty expires on these hearing aids. That date is September 23, 2023
In my discussion with that clerk, I was told that to get an estimate of future cost of new hearing
aids would be AFTER I received a complete hearing exam. The soonest I could get an exam
scheduled will be September 22, 2023.
Please note this will be one day before warranty will expire.
As I explained to you, the battery in my left hearing aid, is failing. I could turn in my hearing aid
for it to be sent to the factory and would be without the aid (which is the controlling-on/off aid),
for up to two weeks. On return the hearing aids warranty will have expired and the replacement
battery will no longer be covered as it would be consdered under the old warranty.
Also as noted I have had both aids replaced over the past two years (at different times) and have
constant problems with them, including the replacement of the both inside the ear pieces which
were not covered by warranty. I have been very disappointed with this inexpensive quality
hearing aid since purchase, now lasting only three years. My records should show the better -
quality ones purchased before this set, lasted five years and amortized over those five years were
a better deal than these Costco ones.
I was told by the clerk at Costco on Friday, that they had a lot of failure with that brand and were
now carrying "better brands", however the discussion ended with her switching me to making
the appointment on the 22" d. After this appointment, I will advise you of their suggested
replacements in my next email. I will also have their price quotes.
At this point I will proceed considering new hearing instruments and not repair or battery
replacement on my current ones as Saturday the 23rd the warranty will expire.
