Rexton Reach R-Li T80 at Costco Expert Review

Premium RxReleased 2024
How We Test

The Rexton Reach R-Li T80, available at Costco for $1,499.99, is a behind-the-ear prescription hearing aid that earned an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.54/5 in our lab testing. This 2024 release ranks #6 among the 35 prescription hearing aids we've tested, placing it in the top 14% of its category and earning our Expert's Choice Award.

In our standardized testing, this device demonstrates strong speech clarity performance. Speech in quiet scores 4.1/5, which is 0.67 points above the category average. Speech in noise measures 2.4/5—above the category average by 0.87 points, though only mixed in absolute terms. This pattern reflects a device that handles challenging listening situations better than most competitors while still facing the inherent difficulties all hearing aids encounter in noisy environments.

Own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.6/5, sitting 0.87 points above the category average—a meaningful advantage for wearers sensitive to how their own voice sounds. Feedback handling is excellent at 4.8/5. Music streaming scores 2.7/5, just slightly above the category average but mixed in absolute quality.

The Rexton Reach R-Li T80 suits consumers seeking premium prescription-level performance through Costco's hearing aid services. It offers rechargeable batteries, iPhone and Android streaming, and hands-free functionality. While some lower-priced alternatives like the Lexie B2 Plus achieve comparable sound scores, this device's combination of strong speech performance and Costco's fitting services makes it a competitive option in the premium prescription segment.
