I went to Beltone initially for an advertised hearing test and was told I needed hearing aids. For the 'trial period' I had to submit $400.00 which I was lead to believe would be returned to me if I didn't go ahead w/the purchase.

At the end of the 'trial period' I felt I just could not afford the cost as I am retired. At that time I was told my $400.00 would not be refunded as they couldn't use the 'trial' aids for someone else. Rather than be 'out' my $400.00 I went ahead with getting the hearing aids. After numerous trips to Beltone and untold attempts to make the aid fit my left ear, I felt that it was useless to continue.

I contacted the regional manager and he told me since I entered into the program there was no reason to return my money ($4200.00). The hearing aids are now sitting in a drawer in my house somewhere as the left one will NOT stay in my ear, plus I am out $4200.00! In hindsight I would have been better just losing the initial $400.00.

I think this is an outrage! I cannot afford an attorney as I'm on a fixed income....I wonder how many other people have been 'duped' by this company.

Monetary Loss: $4200.

My hearing aides are useless! They are still like new and sitting in the case they came in.

I have tried to contact the company and NOTHING!!! The place I got them is seriously the worst place you can go. The tech was not helpful at all, now the company is the same!!

What a ripoff!!!

$7,800.00 which we will have to pay for the next 7 years!!!

Same here plus they do not work and always going to get them cleaned and adjusted. Worthless

If you charged them on a credit card, you have 90 days to dispute the charge for unsatisfactory goods or services. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, credit card holders are protected from such trade practices. Hope you are not beyond the 90 day limit.
