      It caught my eye when I received a Field Test Candidates Wanted and met the qualifications of living in **********, are at least 55, have experienced some level of hearing difficulty and don't currently work for a market research company. Please reference my Notes attached. I was set up for appointment on April 4 and gave them $3000 check to place order and was also setup for 12-month loan for the balance. They came in on April 11 and was fitted and was told to wear them as much as possible which I did for 2-1/2-3 weeks and by May 7th knew I didn't want to keep them they were irritable, itchy, hurt in my ears and returned them in original packaging along with letter attached. On June 6 I received a box without sender information and it was the hearing aids I gave them on May 7th along with letter I also attached and wasn't merely a change of mind as stated in their letter. My issue is they did not acknowledge or comply with my letter to reimburse me and rescind the loan that was set up within the 30-day period and then just later send them back to me. This was my first exposure to hearing devices and would like opportunity to check out other devices besides ********************. Please advice and let me know if you have any questions in order to get this resolved.Thank you

      In June of 2024 I purchased top of the line hearing aids for $8,800.00. I believe the first pair was reworked 2 times (?), with no luck for a fit.They were top of the line, Bluetooth, rechargeable. Top of the line.I may have tried another pair. I have a lot of documentation if you want ***** of right now, I have a pair of in the ear aids that have no volume control unless I go to the store to have it adjuster and they are not even rechargeable.When I asked about the price difference, I was told "all our hearing aids are the same price".I was also told the since almost a year had past, that contacting corporate was not going to get me anywhere.The aids I have now were tried on me and never worn.I don't believe that when you pay for the "Top of the line" and end up ********************************************************************************************************** $8,800.00.Please, contact me via e-mail of phone. I will be happy to provide you with more documentation at your request.I have tried 2 times to contact Miracle Ear Corporate. Both times when I get my complaint typed in, The web page goes down and all the information is lost. I would like to 1. Return the ones I have for a full refund or 2. Be charged a reasonable price for a pair I could have bought on line for a lot less that are rechargeable and I have control of all the options.I thank you in advance for your time and reviewing this matter

      I am a 75-year-old male who retired in 2017. I am a veteran and have been married for 50 years.I received a notice in the mail from Miracle Ear seeking candidates for field testing. Free turkey or ham was to be given to all candidates. Still not received after 3 requests. December 16th, I arrived for testing. At that time, we told them that **** was offering a new benefit offering up to $2500 per ear every 3 years. My wife went back home to bring proof. Returned January 10, 2025. At that time, I was told to initial in2 places. I was then told payment was due. I gave him my **** insurance card at which time he stated they don't file. Called **** and they are not contracting, and we would have 2 20% penalties. Paperwork dated 12/16/24 and coverage not valid until 2025. Returned product because they lied to me by omission. They refused to discuss

      On December 5th of 2023 I went into the Puyallup Miracle Ear office based on a solicitation I received in the mail for Field Test Candidates Wanted. My understanding, based on the solicitation and the initial interaction was that if I completed all the required tests to adjust them to my ears and they didnt work, I would be able to cancel the program. The paperwork which they made me sign (now in retrospect) only allowed for a three-day cancellation or thirty-day recission, which they did not inform me verbally. When I signed the paperwork for the Field Test, they forced me to accept the credit for the hearing aids, although I told them multiple times I intended to pay cash for them. They adamantly said that I needed to sign for the credit in case I wanted to use it and could still pay cash even though I told them I didnt intend to use the credit, but eventually relented after three or four times telling them I didnt want the credit. I believe the terms of this agreement were misrepresented to me and they did not highlight any of those key dates during my following appointments, in fact in my Purchase Agreement, someone from the Miracle Earl local office with the initials ** indicated my contract was for a Field Test program.Ultimately, I physically returned them on June 27, 2024. I followed up with a call to the **************** on July 22, 2024, speaking to ****, case #***** in the ****************. I never received a call back from either the local or **************** after the return of my hearing aids and complaint to Corporate. I request that the Miracle Ear corporate office please do what is right and work with Comnity Health Plan to remove the $7,334 charge (as they have left more than 120 voicemails indicating I owe them money). These hearing aids that were issued as part of the Field Test Program never worked for me, terms were misrepresented and enforced, and I have returned these hearing aids and are no longer in my possession.

      Dear ******* ****,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We value your input and remain committed to continuously improving our services.

      You visited your local Miracle-Ear office for a hearing evaluation on December 5, 2023, and purchased hearing aids. The purchase agreement you signed includes a 30-day rescission period, which began on January 4, 2024, when your hearing aids were delivered. As outlined in the agreement and *** 18.35.185(1), rescission is only permitted for reasonable cause. Concerns such as programming or pricing do not meet the criteria for rescission, as these are typically resolvable through adjustments.

      The rescission period ended on February 3, 2024, and a request for a return was not made until April, over four months after the purchase. Please note that adjusting to hearing aids takes time, as the brain needs to adapt to processing sounds not previously heard due to hearing loss.

      In conclusion, since no reasonable cause was presented and we are well beyond the 30-day recission period, we are unable to approve a refund. That said, our priority remains your hearing health. We encourage you to schedule an appointment with your local Miracle-Ear office, where our team is committed to addressing your concerns and ensuring your hearing aids meet your specific needs.

      Sincerely,
      Customer Service Team

      I am rejecting this response because:  I want my address off of their mailing list.   There is no reason for them to continue mailing to my address.  They have sent several mailings with different spellings of my mother's name over the past few years...I can not remember all of the different spellings but what I do know is my address and they should absolutely be able to remove my address from their system. 

      Sincerely,

      Hello Peg,
      Thank you for reaching out. We understand your concern regarding the continued mailings, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this.
      We can certainly work to remove your address from our mailing list. However, due to the extensive nature of our mailing system, there may be variations of your address that could still result in occasional mailings. If you could provide your mothers name along with any known variations of your address, we will do our best to minimize future mailings. You can email that information to ******************************************************************.
      Its important to note that the details must match exactly as they appear on the mailer to effectively catch that specific variant. However, please be aware that different variations of her name or address might still be sold, and it can take time for the information to be fully removed from our system.
      Additionally, if youre looking to prevent your mothers information from being sold for marketing purposes, we recommend utilizing the following federal resources:
      ******************************** - this is more credit related
      *********************************** - deceased, do not contact
      *********************************** - do not contact from caretaker's perspective

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The communication received from Miracle-Ear is unsatisfactory as it does not provide any reassurance regarding the cessation of unsolicited mailings, even in instances of minor discrepancies in recipient information. The employment of generic addressee names such as "current resident" is a commonly used strategy, which fails to justify the continuation of these unwanted promotional materials.

      Sincerely,

      *************************

      Upon receiving your communication about your request to not receive any more mailers, we have added the address you provided to our internal Do Not Mail list. Please note that while we have updated our records, it is no guarantee that you will not receive mailers in the future if there are variants of your address that do not match the address you sent.

      I have Miracle Ear Hearing Aids, I purchase them from the *********************************** in *********. Technician ********************* pressuring me to buy new aids, said the ones I have are no good. When he said those words my hearing aids were less than two years old. I said I would think about it but I did not think so. He said for me to give a good faith of $300, while thinking about it. No obligation, I had 30 days to make up my mind. With in 3 days I called and said that I was cancelling this decision. I said that I was going to make an appointment with a Doctor of Audiology. He said that their would be no appointments with him until after the appointment. When he called me to ask if I was going to purchase new hearing aids, I said no and have left messages with ****** (phone receptionist) He then said that I was no longer a client and he would not see me. I said I don't believe you can do this as my contract states that all clients will receive care of hearing aids for life of aids. In June I saw an Audiologist and she said that my Right hearing aid was not working .Also he won't return my money.

      Thanks for your e-mail (7 / 19 / 2024).  Through that, you mentioned I have to reply within one week.  So, the following are the up to date details of my case (Case ID number *********.
      The store manager of Miracle Ear - ********, ********** (*************************) signed for the refund about my case on 7 / 8 / 2024.  He said the deposit to my credit card would be within one week.  But, I didn't receive that refund.  So, I had asked to him, after he signed for this refund, who would be in charge of this matter.  Then, he said after he signed the refund form, there was nothing more he could do for me, and also, he said he didn't say where I should make contact for that.  He just said he did all that he could do for me.  
      Therefore, I tried to call the headquarters of the Miracle Ear in the ******************* and the Miracle Ear headquarters of the whole *************, the first person I spoke to, said she doesn't know who is in charge of refunds, and the second person said their accounting department doesn't make contact with anyone (the public).  I was stuck for this business, couldn't proceed, and was confused.  Then, a couple of days later, coincidentally, I received your e-mail.  That is exactly the information which I expected.  That was really timely.  The BBB did a great assistance for me.  I was surprised that Miracle Ear's message was sent to you (but the letter was to me), but I didn't receive the same sentence (letter) from Miracle Ear.  Through common sense, they should send the letter to me first, and then send it to you.  Still I haven't received that same letter from them.  I felt like Miracle Ear had dismissed my questions (ignored me).  
      Now, you understand their letter's contents about my case, but I made contact with my credit card company about that, according to their information, it takes about one to two months for completing about this case.  
      Therefore, could you please keep my case as still pending.  Of course, when my credit card company will recognize for my case, then I will let you know about that.  But, I don't know the exact date, and how long it takes.  
      I hope you understand for the above about my case.  
      Again, I appreciate your assistance for my trouble.

      Regards,

      *******************************

      or a refund/money back. I asked him many times about the "100% money back guarantee." He was in a hurry to go home, and just told me to sign and initial the form. He didn't suggest to me to read the details before I sign. I trusted him, all of his words (many times he said, "100% money back if I am not satisfied"). The next day, I read the agreement at my home, and I had realized they didn't sign it for that. Only I did. I think this kind of an agreement is not valid / doesn't work, through common sense. Through FTC's "Cooling Off" rule, I cancelled for this business within 3 business days (by 6/17/2024). Anyway, I never received Miracle-Ear's hearing aids, and I still haven't received my money back ($500). The 1-time test was enough for me (he made adjustments for about 2 hours). Their way is for the customer to try their ********************** aid adjustment for 30 days, but they try to extend those days (longer than 30 days), and then don't refund any money. After cancellation, no reply. This is their tricky way.

      Hello *******************************,
      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We value your input and take all feedback as an opportunity to constantly improve.
      Your request for a return was submitted on 7/08/2024. Our refund policy indicates that it can take up to 10 days for a refund to process. Your return was accepted on 7/16/2024. However, since you filed a chargeback with your credit card company on 7/10/2024, they pulled the funds from us before we could process the refund.
      If you have not received the funds, please contact your credit card company, as they have already taken the funds.
      Best regards,
      Miracle-Ear

      Hello *******************************,

      You are receiving the communication from Miracle-Ear through the BBB because you initiated the communication line through this channel. We will address the concerns you have brought to our attention. 

      Since you filed a chargeback with your credit card company, they have pulled the funds from us. We did not dispute your chargeback, so you will be receiving the funds from your credit card company.

      Had you waited for our standard processing time, you would have received your refund from us by now. However, since the chargeback was initiated, it is now being handled solely by your credit card company. If you have any issues with their processing of your refund, please contact them directly for further assistance. This matter is now completely out of our hands and between you and your credit card company.

      Best regards,  
      Miracle-Ear

      This case is resolved.  If there is a problem in the future, about not receiving this refund of $500 (in other words, if I am charged $500 for this by Miracle Ear), then I will open a new case with the Better Business Bureau.

      Thanks,
