Paid $4 for hearing aids with warranty and they are still under warranty. Went into local site and was determined by audiologist that they were not working right. He sent in and I was sent back a pair of hearing aids that do SAME THING!! Only one ear works and half the time!!!! Called and audiologist said "they are hoping for a update to fix issue????" Is the thousands that have these getting same problem? I cannot get information to file in small claims while in addition I cannot hear!!!I want new set of hearing aids that work with the program on my phone. This is what I bought and warranty in place.Initial Complaint

We bought my husband 2 hearing aids and have been having issues with the left one since day one. I**;ve called and all we are being offered are adjustments. We get them and nothing works. There**;s a screeching sound and they are saying that he has ear wax. It doesn**;t even hold charge and all they did was change the battery door. I**;ve asked several times for a new one because this one is obviously defective. I**;ve tried reaching out to corporate and was promised a call back but n o one ever called. I called twice.Initial Complaint

In Fall 2023, I ordered aids from the Lucid website and financed the purchase. The product arrived within about a week and worked ok, with a few quirks, from the start. Within a few weeks, however, I began to experience problems with the aids losing their settings and the right one failing to fully charge. By January 2023, the right one failed to hold a charge at all, and has been inoperable ever since. After trying a few tricks to get it working, I resorted to calling customer service, which promised to ship out a new pair. I had had a fraud alert on my credit card, so they insisted that I update my card before theyd ship. I provided that info over the phone and was assured Id receive the new set quickly. It has now been well over a month since Lucid made that promise. I have not received a shipping notice, or any other indication that Lucid intends to follow through on their promise. They have no problem taking my money, though. Since I received only 2 months worth of service but have paid for 6 months, this is unacceptable and fraudulent. Given this companys lack of attention to the importance of one of our 5 senses, I no longer want to deal with them. I want my original purchase price refunded, as well as the extra earpiece wires I ordered. I will cutoff payments until I get some form of prompt satisfaction.Initial Complaint

The website claims that they provide free, 2-day shipping on all orders. This is a lie. I placed my order with them through their website on 01/22/23, and I have yet to receive the hearing aids I ordered. I have contacted customer service multiple times, most recently yesterday. They assured me over and over that the product would be shipped via 2-day shipping, and I found out from ***** yesterday that it was shipped ***** Ground, which takes 5+ business days to be delivered. When confronted with this, the customer service rep refused to accept any responsibility, even after being shown a screenshot proving the order was not shipped the way they claim to have shipped it. She actually reiterated that on their end, it shows it was expedited, when clearly it wasnt. It has been one excuse after another every time I have contacted them, and they have made no effort to make this right.I have attached my receipt, the tracking info proving it wasnt shipped or delivered as promised, the place their website promised free 2-day delivery, and info from ***** regarding the cost to ship a package 2-day vs. ground using the exact dimensions provided by the company.Since the package was not shipped as promised, I would like to be refunded $60, which is what the cost of shipping would have been if they had followed through on their commitment. This seems like fair compensation for the fact that they misrepresented their business practice and I have had to miss being able to hear at important family events I needed the hearing aids for, had they been delivered on time as promised. If they didnt have the 2-day delivery guarantee, it would have affected my decision to place the order in the first place, as my old hearing aids died, and I was attempting to replace them as quickly as possible.Initial Complaint

I bought the Liberty Clear hearing aids for $1,300 at *********** Since this business partners with ***** to offer hearing aids, I decided to file a complaint directly.When I got this headphones, I was told the hearing aids would be able to pair with an Android.Well, when I got an Android, lo and behold, the $1,300 hearing aids would not pair with the app at all.This is misleading practice. I've tried contacting the company directly to no avail. Why waste $1,300 on hearing aids if they're not going to work with Android? Why mislead customers?I found out MYSELF that these hearing aids are Made for iPhone only. Misleading practices just for a sale is terrible. Especially for people that are hard of hearing.Initial Complaint

My mother has been waiting 3 weeks to get her hearing aid back. The lady that works there will not give us an answer as to when mom's hearing aid will be ready. I have been NUMEROUS times to try to get it, the lady is very unprofessional, and lacks customer service skills. Each time out there she says she will call me the next day. I still have heard nothing from her. My mother needs her hearing aid. I would like to rate them as a -50 on a scale of ****. Any help we can get will be appreciated. My mom's name is *******************. My number is ************ Thank youBusiness response
