Starkey Hearing AidsReviews of starkey.com

I purchased a hearing aid to attempt to alleviate my tinnitus. I returned it under the Starkey trial period. My local dealer apparently holds people money for an ENTIRE 30 days before returning it. I informed Starkey about this dealers practice and they could care less. A product is only as good as it dealers. Think twice before purchasing anything from Starkey as they will not do anything to help you if you have dealer problems. I have had no problem with the Sigma dealer I am working with now. I purchased a ReSound hearing aid to try and returned it. Got the refund that day. I am now using Sigma with much better relief for my tinnitus.

Spent over 4,000.00 on hearing aids very disappointed. After several adjustments I still can’t hear very well. It’s frustrating and embarrassing. I’ve been told I need new hearing aids another 4,000.00 don’t think I’ll be getting them. May try another brand.

Worst hearing aids I’ve ever owned the company won’t do anything about them. I go back to my old ones when I want to make sure I don’t miss anything in an important meeting

#1 Take them off if you are sweating, its raining - even a little or snowing. Just a drop and they are dead then wait a day for them to dry out. #2 They often sound like I have my head in a bucket - I have had them for almost a year and haven't got used to it. #3 Too much static, rattling, clicking, and popping in crowds. I have to take them out to understand anything. The sound quality reminds me of the old crystal and razor blade radios I built in the late 40's and 50's to listen to local radio stations. Definitely not worth the cost.

These expensive devices while improving certain aspects of my hearing, did not improve and in fact diminished my ability to hear in noisy environments. Any claims of background noise reduction are exaggerated to say the least. The Bluetooth function is virtually unusable since it interferes with the Bluetooth function in both of my vehicles one being a Honda and one being a BMW. In addition the Bluetooth function dramatically reduces your battery life. The control module is primitive and does not hold a charge long enough. Also, the directional feature is extremely limited in value. The devices do improve my hearing in quiet environments. Unfortunately, I don't need much help in that environment.
