For Phonak and Starkey, is there a big difference in overall service experience and cost when using a hearing service thru insurance vs working with provider? It seems few audiologist work with managed care or cash/credit only, fewer model selections or only Starkey or you have to drive far to find one that has the model preferred. Any other ways to bring down cost or other options beyond CareCredit? Retail models will not work. Need Phonak/Starkey strength.
