Starkey Hearing Aids

This hearing aid performs better than my last one. It has better sound quality and better amplification. I find I'm able to pick up sounds that I have not been able to hear in the past. It is also able to be adjusted to the exact volume of sound coming out of my ears so the amplification is 100% accurate to my needs. This quality makes it an excellent hearing aid and is not something I have had in the past.

Easy to care for. I have the rechargeable devices. The right ear device has "red" on it to ensure the correct ear. I clean daily with tissue. The recharging box is compact and can take with me if I travel. They fit well and I am very pleased with them.

Hearing aids are a pain, especially with a mask and glasses. However, Starkey is the very best aid even under these circumstances. Service has been fantastic, quick, competent, friendly and professional. They are easily adjustable via phone, can be set to hear phone conversions and TV. Very happy all the way around.

The initial cost of the hearing aid wasn't bad, compared to some on the market. I've been able to pick up more of a conversation and feel more confident since I began wearing the device. Average battery life is three days if the common name brands are avoided and a quality version is used.

Actually, my hearing aid person only recommends Starkey to his clients. He is one of their best sales people. He is very conscientious, helpful and honest. He always gets Starkey to help his clients and they do come through to help at no charge. I wear Starkey hearing aids for five years and recommend them. They are also easy to use.

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.
