    Updated on 01/08/2025: I wrote a one star review a few days ago. I got a call today from Beltone customer service. I discussed my experience and soon after got a call from a fellow who I think was the franchisee. He was not pleasant and did not care what I had to say. He hung up on me. In my earlier comments I forgot to say that the guy who did the exam seemed to have no professional credentials. At least he left the white coat on its hook. I am **.

    Original Review: My wife and I visited Beltone for her to get the 'Free hearing test'. We wanted to get the test data to compare to other hearing tests. She got the 'free test' and was told she has moderate hearing loss. The test was not reviewed. We were not asked what features we might be interested in nor what our budget and she was instantly fitted for aids. Beltone brand? It was not clear what was going on. The aids were adjusted and there was an awkward pause. I asked about pricing and was told '48', I asked what did 58 mean. It meant $4800. We have no hearing aid insurance. I walked out. My wife was furious with me. It was a terrible experience and we did not do what we set out to do. Watch out.

    Bought new aids 3 years ago. Had nothing but problems with connectivity with my phone. They finally gave me 2 reconditioned aids that were supposedly better. Never had a problem again for 3 years. Went last week and got my new aids and nothing but problems after the person at the store said I wouldn’t have any problems. Well guess what these aids are just like 3 years ago keep disconnecting or not connecting to phone. I been keeping records of every time it happens.

    Salesperson was very polite informative at first but tried to sell most expensive Beltone hearing aids at $10,000. After 2 weeks, tried to get money back; they were resistant but finally agreed. Allowed me to try cheaper Beltone ($5000) on loan, which I appreciated. When I found comparable hearing aids for under 2000, tried to return them… Finally did but not a good experience. Pressure sales tactics not appreciated…

    This hearing center at 14441 Memorial Dr. Houston, TX is listed as a National Hearing network provider by Aetna Medicare Advantage program. I went there to shop for a pair of hearing aids. Mr. Paden ** did my hearing test, and has done a good job, but when it comes to the price, he started with MSRP $11,744, then group discount..., final price $5,574, without mentioning Aetna $2000 allowance. With that price, I can buy a decent hearing aids without using Aetna allowance. Also, there is no free trial period from this store. I was told that I had to pay the full price, If I was not satisfied and wanted to return within 30 days, there was a restocking fee of $400. $400 for 30 days trial, do I have choices? NO thank.

    I made an appointment months ago for your store in Clarksville, In. for 06/12/2024. I received a text asking if I was going to make the appointment. I replied yes to the text and then I received a reply saying thanks and that you would see me at the appointment. I drove to the office to find it closed. The sign on the door says the office is open on Wed, Thurs, and Friday. This is not the case.

    I called the office in Corydon because I know they are connected. I was told that there was a new woman but that she was in Salem today. She had the new lady call me. She said that they called me yesterday to let me know they had changed the office hours at the Clarksville, In. location. She said they left me a message, neither is true. I didn't get a call or a message from Beltone. This office has had several issues in the past and now they are continuing. There is no excuse for making me drive to Clarksville when the office is not even open. And worse, there is no excuse for lying about calling me and leaving a message about my appointment. I don't see how you stay in business with practices like this. Do not go to Beltone.

    Purchased hearing aid in Greenville NC office which is associated with neighboring Kinston NC Belltone office. Purchased hearingc about year and a half ago. Hearing aid needs service but both offices are closed and the parent company in Chicago does not know anything about these NC offices. Does not seem possible that the central office which supplied the hearing aids knows nothing of satellite operations using Beltone name.

    Alana **. My experience with Beltone Hearing Aids and Alana ** began in February of 2019 when I was diagnosed with a mild hearing loss and was fitted with the Amaze hearing aids. I also quickly learned that the actual hearing aids are only one part of a multi-faceted number of parts necessary to attain improved hearing. A good hearing aid specialist is extremely important. I have yet to have a problem that Alana was unable to fix for me. I have always been able to schedule an appointment in a timely fashion and have never waited more than a few minutes in the waiting room. I also have never felt rushed.

    I had a hearing test July 2nd, I had a feeling right away it wasn't your normal hearing test. The person giving it, left the door open to the booth. We discussed hearing aids and I was told I should get them 2-3 weeks. After waiting a month, I called to find out from the receptionist. He told them "I would think about it". I sent him an email asking about my new information. He apologized and said I should receive them 2- 3 weeks. Oct 1st I emailed him. He said My insurance company would not reply. I asked him "If this is the kind of service I am getting when there is a purchase involved, what kind of service would I get for follow ups?" I called my insurance and they said he never sent anything like they did in 2021. I am also going with a different company altogether. I have kept their emails. Just as a reminder in case I ever have a weak moment- NOT to go there.

    I have been using hearing aids for the last 10 years or so. First one was Oticon "In the canal", after using it three years or more I upgrade it to higher one. Same brand. Both are still working perfect till now. A year ago I contacted my insurance company to buy new expensive good hearing aids, they refer me to an agent who sells Beltone, he convinced me that Beltone is way much better than the ones I have.

    I bought them and paid $4500.00. Since then I had to return them for repair many times for different reasons, they just keep to stop working. Yes they have free service for three time in first year, and three years warranty, but after the three times the agent start charging me for handling the service, he did that two times so far, ten days was between the two times, don't know when they will stop working again.

    In short, they are the worst hearing aids, my old cheap ones are much better. I decided to put the Beltone aside and go back to use my old Oticon. My advise is: buying Beltone is buying a headache. They are expensive and don't worth the money. First year and had to be returned more than four times for fixing, god knows what will come in the coming two years, and how many times they will be returned for fixing. After all, it's a loss of $4500.00. Thanks to BELTONE.

    I had an appointment with them today but no one could let me know that they would be out of the office today. So I make the drive there, which by the way takes me a little more than an hour to get to, only to find a sign on the door stating they'd be out of the office today. If you're going to have a business please take the time to call your patients and let them know that you are not going to be in the office the day of their appointment and have them reschedule rather than them having to drive all the way there and waste gas and not be seen.

    I purchased two pairs of Beltone Hearing aids and had problems with each pair. First, the right one stopped working and they had to send it back. Then, the left one quit and the same results. The second upgraded pair was no better. The right one quit working and had to be replaced again. Soon it fell apart and the left one stopped working altogether. Had to go back to my old pair until the right one quit again. I will never buy Beltone again. Poor quality products.

More importantly her aids she purchased are now 3 years old and doing great. When they do stop working it is because they are clogged with wax and mom forgot to clean them.

    According to online Belton ads: "schedule a Free appointment... free comprehensive eval." Then in person Diane said, Free exams ONLY if you agree to buy our aids, OR, free but we'll give you no results or audiogram (if you go elsewhere). From ads, I expected new audiograms I would send to my hearing aid provider thru my health insurance, and I said so right from the start. This Beltone provider, Diane, had very poor customer service skill, as well as generally unfriendly attitude. I was shocked. I only researched their ads AFTER I returned home from this upsetting experience. (Also, the receptionist did NOT know WHY she required to copy my driver's license. "Just policy" is not a sufficient reason.)

Your first 2 managers told me if I wanted to trade up, I had a one time offer to do so, without any additional charge. I phoned Jen, your only receptionist here, a month ago, told her of my problem, and she firmly told me your current manager would do absolutely nothing.

    I purchased my Beltone hearing aids from Englewood Florida and found them difficult to wear. Dr. Jeff was awesome and changed the little buds that go in your ears and they are now very comfortable and I can wear them all the time. Really made a difference. Since I work in Venice I changed to the Venice office. Dr. Jeff is at that office as well so it made it easy. Also Lisa, his receptionist, was always ready to accommodate. Since I care for a sweet 95 year old blind lady, and her hearing aids were no longer working, I suggested she try Beltone. I took her in to meet Lisa and Dr. Jeff. They did a full evaluation and we’re able to fit her with Beltone hearing aids that were far superior to what she did have. Both of us could not be happier! I highly recommend if you need new hearing aids or an evaluation, please go see Lisa and Dr. Jeff! Just tell them that Cheryl told you to go in as they are the “Best”.

    I was so very delighted to go to Beltone on Oct 6. only to be told by the guy that the insurance I had was a scam. The hearing aids the insurance would pay for would do be no good at all and he could personally sell me used hearing aids. I called my ex. He said no. It sounded like a scam. I wrote a review then the manager called and wanted a meeting on Oct 27. I had gave a bad review and she wanted me to give her a good rating which I did until I met her. She did same thing. Pushed high price hearing aids. Said she could order the insurance ones until I could get the big priced ones.

    I was distraught. Here I have insurance and I still can't afford to hear. I called insurance company. They sent me to another place on Oct 28. There they understood I did not have money just the insurance. They knew my hearing was bad but still found hearing aids for me that would work that I could adjust. They ordered them it would take 45 days. I went home, called beltone, told them, "Cancel my order. I won't need your service. I found another place I ordered from." Beltone knew they had not ordered yet but they went and cancelled my order from Hearing Life. Now I have been waiting over 45 days just to find out beltone cancelled the order. How could they do that knowing how I needed to hear. Knowing they had not ordered it was not their order. To me that is not good business.
