Starkey Hearing Aids

Have had your hearing aids now for 3 months and they have helped my hearing, but everything sounds very tinny. All word that start with an S has a shss sound to it. Your app does not work with my iPhone so I can't adjust the aids. The phone Bluetooth does work so that I can adjust the volume but that is all. I would grade these hearing aids as Poor.

I had the wonderful Starkey custom in-the-ear CIC model. The first one failed after 20 days. After repair, it failed again after 3 days. Concerned with their reliability, I canceled the contract and am choosing another brand.

I’ve severe to profound hearing loss. Fitted with Starkey Muse 7 years ago.. Within that time they have been replaced 3 times by the manufacturer and now have quit again.. They are not well built… Ascent Audiology provided the service and they have been very good about it.. I’ve bought extended warranties however this last time I could no longer buy the extension. Go to an audiologist that provides more than one manufacturer and forget trying to speak to Starkey on their product issues… Never available.

I had a childhood sickness, of which I've still suffer effects throughout life so far! I have constant mild to loud ringing in the ears! I've been told it is not tinnitus! Anyway I recently, like the last few days received some Picasso hearing aids, in canal! Wow being a first time user, I could hear everything around me, even my voice, movements, eating etc! A bit loud, Q is, is there any adjustments for the customer? I have all the instructions, but I'd like to hear from other users as well as maker! Please **. Thank you!

I have purchased two sets of Starkey hearing aids from two different sources over the past few years. The cost was over $10,000.00 for the two. Nothing but problem after problem with them. Left one continually quit working and had to be returned to the factory only to quit working again time after time. I would NOT recommend Starkey to anyone and would not use them if they were free.

This is my second Starkey in ear canal aide. The first was great, so I went with it again and boy did I make a mistake! It's awful, they keep sending it away and it comes back the same. So I have wasted $3,500. I can't wear it, the noise is awful, I just keep wearing the 6 year old one, thank goodness I have it!!! Don't waste your money, be safe and go with another company.

The sound is still “noisy white noise” in ear, hollow sound, plugged up ear..worse than without hearing aid in. Does not improve hearing and feel as if balance is off when wearing them. Also, they constantly are either on the verge of falling out or do fall out. I already have lost one pair (on two separate occasions for each ear). I paid the insurance copay for another pair and I am having the same experience. I have told my audiologist about this and nothing has helped. I certainly don’t want to have to constantly worry all day long about whether my hearing aid is about to fall out. Many times it is just ready to fall out when I check it.

I had purchased the NuEar Circa 1200 hearing aids from a company that went out of business shorty before my factory warranty was up and when I called Starkey to see what I could do about getting them fixed. I didn’t hear anything from the company that I purchased the hearing aids from about them going out of business & they just disappeared & left everybody hanging. I called Starkey for help since they were under manufacturer’s warranty at the time still. Unfortunately for purchasers like myself, we are completely out of luck! Starkey only directed me to another one of their venders who wants to charge me for a hearing test, reprogramming both hearing aids and who knows what after if the reprogramming does not fix the problem that I am having with both of my hearing aids.

I have the Starkey remote microphone, the hearing specialist where I got my hearing aids said it was a great device paired with the hearing aids. It is a great device, however the clip is so inferior it does not last more than 6 to 8 months before it breaks making it unable to clip to my shirt. Starkey replaced it once, now it's not under warranty and no one at Starkey can tell me how must it cost to repair. Do not buy this product unless you want to keep sending it in for repair and all the hassle of sending it in and waiting for it to break again in six months.

My husband bought hearing aids through B.S. Wisniewski in Greenfield Wi on 2/6/19. The first few weeks he seemed to hear fairly well. After that, it has been downhill. He seems to go regularly to Wisniewski to have check ups and have things reviewed, but the results are always the same. He has the same catch phrases he used prior to hearing aids, “I didn’t quite catch that, you are mumbling, I was distracted.” We paid $6,990.00 for these state of the art hearing aids and I have to say, “I am totally disappointed.” I truly couldn’t recommend them to anyone at this point. Instead of telling other people, I wrote to the company but heard nothing. In addition to him hearing very poorly, he has problems with the left one staying in his ear. It is always hanging out of his ear in the air.
