Our Take
Costco's second Sennheiser-branded prescription aid carries a genuine upgrade under the hood: it runs on Phonak's current Infinio R platform (the non-Sphere version), with AI-driven environment classification, 20 adjustment channels, and four receiver powers covering mild to severe hearing loss. At $1,599.99 per pair — fitting, free follow-ups, and warranty included — you're getting current-generation Sonova technology for roughly a quarter of typical clinic prices. Streaming is genuinely universal, too: hands-free calling works on both iPhone and Android over classic Bluetooth, and it pairs with up to eight devices.
Telecoil users should stop reading here: looped theaters and churches are out, and there's no LE Audio or Auracast either. It also won't suit people who want disposable batteries or a charging case that travels well: it's rechargeable-only, the standard case doesn't store charges, and the portable Charger Go is a separate purchase. Battery claims deserve a skeptical read, too — Sennheiser advertises up to 31 hours, but its own technical materials list 20 hours of expected operating time, and real-world reports cluster near 20, so plan around the lower number. And because it's a Costco exclusive, you'll need a membership, and fittings happen at Costco Hearing Aid Centers.
For Costco members with mild to severe loss, the value case is strong. The closest clinic sibling, Phonak's Audéo Infinio, runs $2,498 to $4,598 — the Rise delivers the same family of technology for far less. Within Costco itself, the Jabra Enhance Pro 30 at $1,700 is the natural head-to-head, and it's worth trying both at your fitting appointment. Talk through receiver strength with your hearing care professional, since the up receiver extends the fit range toward moderately profound loss.

Sennheiser Sonite Rise (Costco) Questions
At $1,599.99 per pair, it's one of the stronger values in prescription hearing aids. It runs Phonak's current Infinio R platform, while the closest clinic equivalent, the Phonak Audéo Infinio, sells for $2,498 to $4,598. Costco's price includes fitting, free follow-ups, a 3-year warranty, 2-year loss-and-damage coverage, and a 180-day return window. What you give up: a telecoil, Auracast, and some battery headroom — real-world life runs closer to 20 hours than the advertised 31.
Both come from Sonova and share the Infinio platform; the Sonite Rise uses the non-Sphere Infinio R version. The biggest differences are price and where you buy: the Audéo Infinio runs $2,498 to $4,598 through hearing clinics, while the Sonite Rise costs $1,599.99 per pair at Costco with fitting and follow-ups bundled in. You'll need a Costco membership for the Rise, and it skips a telecoil and LE Audio/Auracast support.
Sennheiser advertises up to 31 hours per charge, but the company's technical materials list 20 hours of expected operating time, and real-world reports cluster near 20. A full charge takes 3 hours, and a 15-minute quick charge is available. The standard charging case doesn't bank charges for travel — Costco sells the portable Charger Go as a separate accessory — and there's no disposable-battery version of this aid.
Yes. The Sonite Rise is a Costco exclusive, sold and fitted at Costco Hearing Aid Centers, so an active membership is required to buy it and return for adjustments. The upside is what's bundled: the $1,599.99-per-pair price includes the fitting, free follow-up appointments, a 3-year warranty, 2-year loss-and-damage coverage, and a 180-day return window.
