For most people, hearing loss is so gradual we don't even notice it until our loved ones call it to our attention. Then we realize how often we have to ask others to repeat themselves. Or, we notice while watching TV that we're missing bits of dialog that others in the room are not, or that we're constantly turning the volume up while others are turning it down. And in business situations, particularly meetings and conferences, hearing loss is even more critical and may be even more embarrassing. Yet even when we're ready to admit we need hearing assistance, the cost of custom hearing aides often keeps us from doing anything about it, so we continue to put up with much less than life has to offer. This is no longer the case. General Hearing Instruments, a pioneer in the hearing industry for a quarter century, has made a lifelong commitment to the quality of life you deserve. The new Simplicity Premier is specifically designed for people with vigorous, active lifestyles who have difficulty understanding speech in the presence of background noise. The advanced digital technology and multi-memory flexibility of the Simplicity Premier offer unrivaled high fidelity sound quality and the ability to adapt to different listening situations - all at a very economical price. Programmed specifically for high frequency hearing loss, the Simplicity Premier will enable you to localize sound, to understand speech clearly in restaurants and at parties, and to enjoy the richness of music. The open fit design of the micro size behind-the-ear device leaves the natural sounds intact, eliminating any tunnel or "echo chamber" sensation. The micro-poly tubing and miniature case give Simplicity Premier a nearly invisible appearance for ultimate cosmetic appeal. Consistent performance and reliability make it the only choice for busy individuals who want to engage in social activities and to once again fully enjoy their favorite music.

Great DSP hearing aids,
03/16/2010
By: tgadget
They GHI aids have a very good noise cancellation for relatively inexpensive units. These are my 3rd experience with DSP hearing aids and the first that really worked in restaurants and other noisy locations. As my hearing problem is mostly high frequency loss (~-40dB above 2kHz) the open ear piece works really well. No longer do you feel like your head is plugged up. It makes these very easy to wear and get accustom to. Way to go GHI and thank you Sams for offering them!

Mom has had these over-the-ear hearing aids for 3 weeks and so far, we love them. They are VERY light and comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. We tried 2 different aids from Sam's that fit in the ear but they kept falling out. My Mom is 97.

Hearing recovery,
02/24/2010
By: chickadee
I have purchased 2 sets of expensive hearing aids over the past 10 years. They were the in the canal variety. Uncomfortable, lots of background noise, and I could not wear when choir singing. GHI Simplicity are wonderful. Comfortable: hardly know I am wearing them. Can wear them while listening to music and singing in choir. Good selection of volume levels, i.e. four(4).Whereas I often avoided wearing my previous hearing aids, I now wear Simplicitys constantly. Try them! You have a 90 day trial period but I bet you will not return them.

First Pair of Hearing Aids,
02/14/2010
By: Gen0, Chicago IL
I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase. I am 60 year old and was in need of hearing aids. The price was cost prohibitive for me. Now $700 compared to $4000 made it affordable to me. No feedback and increases my hearing. Had a minor problem and support assistance was terrific and solved my problem. I recommend!

can't believe what I've been missing!,
02/01/2010
By: greatest
I have only had these hearing aids for about 2 weeks. I can't believe the sound quality! It only took a short time to get use to them. I was unable to understand speech on TV without having the volume cranked up. Now I can understand most speech and also lowering the volume nearly 10 db. I had a hearing test done, called GHI instruments and told them my results. they recommended the premier digital microtube hearing aids. these hearing aids are one sixth the amount the audiologist wanted to charge me at the time of my test. i wish i knew about these a long time ago

Best value in hearing aids ever.,
01/19/2010
By: turboted
I have been looking at hearing aids for several years and have never been able to find any that I felt I could afford. My hearing is adequate without aids; however, I am a school teacher and in certain situations it is hard for me to discern student conversations from the front of the classroom. Hearing tests have shown that my hearing is pretty normal in the low to middle ranges and falls off at higher frequencies. A perfect match for the GHI Simplicity™ Premier Digital Micro-tube. Thank you Sam's Club for finding a cost effective soution to my healing problem. The first pair I had on trial broke at the battery door. The GHI customer service person said they had a bad batch and thought they had caught all the bad ones before they got out of the factory. My new pair have been fault-free.

Awesome!,
01/11/2010
By: Ray13210
For years my family and close friends have asked me to look into hearing aids. I had my hearing checked and couldn't believe the cost for hearing aids. I gave these a try and couldn't believe how close they are to the ones I tried at the audiologist's office. They are even smaller. These work really well in social environments and meetings where I had a lot of trouble hearing conversations. I even paid for them with my before tax flex plan. Technical support was very helpful and supportive.

Worked like a champ,
01/05/2010
By: Tooltimeatlanta, Atlanta, GA
My father in law did not want to admit he needed hearing aids. When I told him about the Sam’s deal, he reluctantly agreed to try them. When they arrived, he was very surprised how small they were and how you could hardly see them once they were installed. He loves them. Sam’s gave us the comfort in knowing that if he didn’t like them or they didn’t work for him, we could simply return them to the local Sam’s for a full refund.

Aids,
12/30/2009
By: van4
Recently bought GHI Simplicity and its the best aid I've ever used. The four adjustments button makes it workable in any situation. Its very affordable compared to any I have tried and gets good battery life. Changing batteries is very simple with the tools provided. This will be the best purchase you'll ever make.

Great Value,
12/29/2009
By: Rogerframe
After having a hearing test and being told how bad my hearing was I started looking for the best value in hearing aids. I quickly found out that with no insurance coverage the cost was going to be hard to handle.About this time Sams online was featuring the GHI Simplicity. The 90 day free trial period sold me so I ordered them and I have been using them for a week now and love them.

A Comparative Review,
12/29/2009
By: LAListener, North Central Louisiana
I first purchased the slightly less expensive GHI Simplicity aids. They worked well but not as well as I had jhoped they wojuld. I called the GHI Customer Service number and asked if it would help them if they knew the actual numbers from my hearing test. They emphatically said that it would be of tremendous assistance to them to have those numbers. I obtained my hearing test results and called GHI and read the numbers to them. They immediately recommended that I return the aids that I had and replace them with the GHI SImplicity PREMIER aids. I did this and am now totally satisfied with the PREMIER aids. The aids are programmed differently and that makes a significant difference in how they assist with hearing loss issues. I advise everyone to first have a hearing test, obtain a copy of the test result numerics, and then call GHI Customer Support to ask their assistance as to which aids to purchase.

Wife is happy,
12/28/2009
By: Rogerdodger, Virginia
Having trouble hearing TV, understanding what was said if there was any background noise. Began accusing people of mumbling. Had to keep asking my wife what was said. Had a hearing test earlier and tested OTE aids. They worked great. Problem was the price over $4000. Found these and decided to try because of the price and 90 day return policy. I have had them for 1 month they are GREAT!!! Wife, fishing buddies and I are happy. Customer service is good too. The mushroom tips were too big. I called and they sent me a smaller set right away at no charge. I also like the fact they are made in U.S.A.

Great Value,
12/14/2009
By: nuttygrandpa, Minneapolis, MN
I received my aids two weeks ago today and I love them!!!! I have worn one hearing aid, in the ear type, for about 9 years and it was beginning to feel like a plug. I went to an audiologist who said my other ear was starting to lose some hearing, also, and recommended two behind the ear aids. I tried them, and they made a world of difference, but they would cost $4400. I advised them that I couldn't afford that. I began to feel that this was a "quality of life" issue, since I heard so much better with them. I began to search the web and was surprised to learn that Sam's Club sold hearing aids that sounded like they would fit the bill. Since you could, basically try them for 90 days, I decided to order them. I believe they are just as good as the more expensive ones at less than 25% of the cost.The big thing is that the sound is so natural, I hear much better without seeming to be wearing the aids. Once again, I love them.

Had them 3 days and had to send one in for repair. Something inside would not allow battery door to close. Up till then I was very pleased. I have been recommending them to clients in the salon even though I have only been wearing one.

It is amazing the sounds I have been missing. Not perfect as some times background noice gets in the way but wouldn't got back to nothing again

Great hearing aid,
11/25/2009
By: Boooohay
I am 67 years old and have high frequency loss and have been wearing behind the ear aids for about 10 years. I bought these because my existing ones need to be replaced and I didn't want to pay $3000 or more.
Simplicity Premier are very comfortable to ware. They are so comfortable that you will forget that they are there. They do the job for me.
I would like it better if they had an on/off switch and information on amplification frequency response.
