Bad product, bad customer experience
Never again, avoid at all costs. After paying £3,000+ for a pair of hearing aids exactly a year ago, I first found out that the app is not fit for purpose - it can't make calls, it can't tune in to anything online. Great, I can't make calls with my hearing aids but oh well. Then the portable charger stopped holding a charge - this was a big selling point for me and it no longer works. Then, the cherry on top, the mould of one of my ears developed a crack and crumbled in my hand. After contacting my audiologist I was told there was a £250 charge "from Starkey" to fix this. When I spoke to someone at Starkey they said this was my fault and refused to believe there was a casting flaw. This was a huge amount of money for me, I can't hear out of one ear, and Starkey do not care at all. Their representative just tell me to go back to my private audiologist, who didn't actually make the moulds or the app or the charger, and made zero effort to try to make things right. Avoid at all cost EDIT to reflect the reply from Starkey - "Please get in touch with Starkey UK" - if you read the review you would see that I did get in touch but your incredibly rude representative in the UK already fobbed me off. My audiologist reached out to me to state that someone at Starkey had been in touch with them and had offered no apologies but did offer to drop the price of repair. I'm still debating whether to pay another company £3,000 or give your useless lot more money. I think I'm going to go with another company based on your attention to detail.
