    I am rejecting this response because: I briefly to a representative on March 11. She said she would call the next day and did; however, I was unable to receive the call. I tried to call back, however, that is not an options with the company.  I emailed her and told her I do not carry my phone with me 24/7, and I do not always hear it because I am hearing impaired. She told me to contact the Chat line. One of my main complaints is the chat line. I still have not discussed the issue with anyone.

    After corresponding and receiving and changing wax guards my hearing aid still did not work. My latest attempt to contact them via Chat. I was cut off from conversation at 11:28 because of my inactivity, when actually it was their inactivity. I sat at my desktop for 30 minutes.

    Complaint: 23049688

    I am rejecting this response because: 

    I finally talked to someone who actually helped me. A girl name ****** on April 14. She accepted the hearing aid that did not work and I have sent it back in April 15.
    She actually helped set my phone up for my hearing aid, the one that does work, so I can actually hear incoming calls now. I have asked at least 2 other people to help or send information. The ironic part is that the missed phone calls would not have occurred if they would have helped initially.
    I have had these hearing aids since mid-December and have been able to wear both of them about 12 days. Not the sign of a good company.They have a 3 year warranty, but with the responses I do not trust this, or trust that the company will even be in business for three years with the way they treat customers.
    I will not sign off until I have two working hearing aids without using my one time replace warranty.

    I purchased hearing aids from Hear.com on February 9, 2023. Since that time my hearing aids have worked okay but now I have a problem. My right hearing aid quit working on or around October 1, 2024. I called in for an appointment to have my new unit tested. The aid was tested and found non working. Im now on my 5th try to get a working hearing aid. This has affected my marriage and every day life considerably. The company is almost impossible to get a response. There is no one to contact directly and their text program has no one available for chats. One programmer finally told me he would get me another aid as soon as mine was returned. Returning an aid requires me to take my aid to *** and waiting for another aid. This has had me running back and forth to UPX several times with a broken aid each time. If you call in, no one answers and you are directed to a chat room where no one is available or to leave a message for a return call within 48 hours. Please give us hearing impaired some help with this company before more people purchase these units and are left out of hearing!!!The company has no quality control with their hearing test equipment. I received a testing unit and when my aid was declared bad, the tester told me to keep the testing equipment. Soon afterwards I received a bill for $1,000 for this simple product that I was told to retain for my next test.

    We sincerely apologize for the difficulty youve had reaching our team and for the frustration this experience has caused you. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we will be sharing it with our Customer Support Director to ensure that our customers receive the timely assistance they need.
    Regarding your hearing aid, all devices go through a thorough quality check before being sent out to ensure they are functioning properly. However, we understand that issues can arise, and we are committed to making the repair process as smooth as possible for you.
    We are currently in the process of receiving your nonfunctioning hearing aid and will begin the repair process as soon as it arrives.

Please know that we are doing everything we can to expedite this process.
    Additionally, we have advised your provider to offer you helpful tips during your upcoming March 19th appointment to ensure your hearing aids continue working at their full potential for the long term.
    We truly appreciate your patience and will continue working to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. If you have any further questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out. - ******, Customer Success Team

    In July 2024, I purchased a pair of hearing aids under a 45-day trial period, allowing me to test them before committing to the purchase and monthly payments. I received the hearing aids the same month. After trying them out in August 2024, I decided I did not need them and followed the return and cancellation instructions provided in the package. The instructions stated to return everything except the hearing aids themselves using the provided prepaid shipping label. I shipped the package as directed and expected confirmation of cancellation. However, I never received an email or call confirming the cancellation. Despite this, in September 2024, I noticed I had been charged $186 per month, meaning my subscription had not been canceled. I attempted to contact Hear.com customer service at least twice per month, but their system only allows communication via text message or chat links, making it nearly impossible to get direct assistance. In January 2025, I finally chatted with a representative who confirmed they received my return package but said my cancellation was denied because the hearing aids were not in the box. I explained that I had followed their instructions but was willing to return the hearing aids separately if needed. The chat representative then went silent, and I was left with no response or clear next steps. Since I initiated my return within the 45-day trial period, I should not be charged. Yet, they continued to bill me monthly, refusing to process my cancellation and refund. This appears to be a pattern of deceptive business practices, as many BBB complaints describe similar issues where customers are ignored, delayed, or misled until their trial period expires, leaving them stuck with an unwanted product.

    On 12/5/24 I had a meeting with the audiologist in ********* to receive the hearing aids from **************************. I was told then that there was a 45 day warranty within which I could return the equipment for a full refund. The hearing aids cost $4000. In a short while the left hearing aid fell out of my ear and was broken. I had to wait for a week until a replacement was sent and received. Shortly after that the right hearing aid fell out of my ear. I realized then that the hearing aids could not work for me and that i needed to return them and get a refund. (No mold had been taken of my ears to determine how they should fit when I purchased them.) The warranty was still in effect and I made numerous phone calls to ************************** to request a full refund. The phone calls were never answered and no one ever called back. When I returned to the audiologists office to explain that the hearing aids simply couldnt work for me and I wanted the refund I was entitled to, she said the company had claimed that the time for the refund had expired and I would not get one. The reason the time had expired was the deliberate refusal of ************************** to answer the phone and call back, guaranteeing that the warranty would expire. This is blatantly dishonest behavior. I am entitled to receive the $4000 the company **** me and I would appreciate your helping me obtain it.

    ******, 

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand that this has been a frustrating experience, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the details regarding your refund request.

    Our records indicate that your 45-day trial period began on 12/5/24 and ended on 1/19/25. During this time, on 1/3/25, you filed a Loss & Damage claim for one of your hearing aids. As outlined in the agreement you signed when requesting a replacement, any Loss & Damage claim during the trial period waives the remaining portion of the trial period. Additionally, the agreement specifies that once the manufacturer replaces the original devices, the replacement devices cannot be returned or exchanged.

    While you were still eligible to return the device that was not lost, our records show that your first request to return the hearing aids was made on 1/21/25, after the trial period had already expired. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your refund request because the return request was not made within the trial window, and the replacement device is not eligible for return as per the agreement.

    We regret that this was not the experience you were hoping for, and we apologize for any miscommunication along the way. If there is anything else we can assist with regarding your hearing aids, we are happy to help. 

    All the best! -********, Customer Success Team

    I purchased a $4000 pair of hearing aids a few years ago. My left aid stopped working in about October 2025. I then purchased another pair in about November 2025. They were under warranty so it only cost $625 for a new pair. The new pair arrived fairly quick without problems. Id like to point out, I had to purchase this new pair without any assistance from an actual employee, despite requests for assistance (via emails and text messages). In about mid January 2025, one of the new aids has stopped working. I have been attempting to contact Hear.Com about this problem, but I am getting no response from them. Ive sent numerous emails and requested numerous return phone calls but have not received any contact from them. Id like a new set of hearing aids sent to me. If they are no quality and going to break this easily. Id like a whole new set sent to me. They claim to have sold over a million pairs of hearing aids, I would expect them to afford additional staff for better customer service. This is very frustrating and disappointing.

    Hear.Com did have an actual person call me the day after I filed a complaint with BBB. The representative was wonderful. We scheduled a consultation for 2/18/25. 
    I am still having problems with the product I purchased ( for the 2nd time). I am going to request a replacement. Ive had two hearing aids become faulty in an unreasonable time frame. 
    Id like to ask ******************** to extend the 10-day time frame for a formal response from me. Id like to wait until after 2/18/25 to see if Hear.Com rectifies to product problem.
