    The service of Starkey has been good. They've been very friendly and open. However, I'd like to have a how-to manual so I could look up things on occasion to remind me of what I've been told. Sometimes I forget it. I had the hearing aids adjusted two weeks ago and that made a big difference for me because the first week was sporadic. I was hearing a lot of stuff I didn't want to hear. I also like the connection with my phone. When I mess with it all day long, it gets me back to zero every day.

    The quality of the Starkey hearing aids is excellent and helps me hear better. However, I would appreciate a battery inside the charging port that would hold its own charge. That way, if I am camping, for instance, and needed to charge my hearing aids, they had that availability. It looks like there's plenty of room in the box of the battery to charge my hearing aids. But I'm not an engineer by any means. So that would be cool. I work in a loud environment and I would appreciate it if there was a noise-canceling or hearing-reduction option. So I didn't have to take my hearing aids out whenever I'm at work.

    The quality of the Bluetooth is good. However, the range is extremely small and they don't reconnect very easily. Because of the program I set up on my hearing aids, I can't just hold the button down and turn them off and then turn them back on to re-pair. That would trigger a different program that I have set up. So the easiest way for me to reconnect both hearing aids to my phone and Bluetooth is to shut my phone off and turn it back on. The hearing aids themselves working as hearing aids are excellent and I'm appreciative to have an improved hearing ability through them. But I would appreciate having a focus on preserving what hearing is left instead of just amplifying the sounds around you. Because I intend on taking these hunting and I'm a little worried about dropping them in the mud or snow to switch to hearing protection if I have the time to do that.

    Starkey offered a hearing aid unlike any other. My left ear is almost gone hearing-wise and it would transfer the sound from my left ear to my right ear. So far, it has worked marvelously. I just went there today and had the hearing aids adjusted. The rep does a wonderful job and he listens to me. Sometimes I take the hearing aids off and sometimes I don't wear them when I'm at home. He said I should wear them all the time and that it helps to train the brain. So, I'm gonna have to start wearing them.

    Starkey has average quality for what digital hearing aids cost. When I needed new aids, they had a trade-up kind of thing. So, I got to keep my old hearing aids as backup. These were a pretty decent price. They were actually less than my last set of hearing aids. They seem to be working better than my last hearing aids. It wouldn't always connect to Bluetooth. But they were getting old. I've had them for about five years. Starkey has an 800 number that you can call if you're having issues, but you can only call Monday through Friday. So, if you have something go wrong on the weekend, you're up a creek without a paddle. Nothing ever goes wrong during normal business hours.

    The hearing aids have been nothing but a godsend to me. I worked in prison and I had no hearing aids. I've shot weapons without hearing aids, because in prison, you don't get the opportunity of putting on your headphones and then taking a shot or firing a warning shot. I’ve always had ringing in my ears from about 15 years old on. I didn't understand it before. But I understand it now. I couldn't hear people whenever I would be out and trying to be social. I would have to raise my voice up and everybody would look at me like I'm an idiot.

    Now that I've gotten my hearing aids, I talk softer and I don't get as upset. I'm much more able to hear my wife and also respond to her. It's really improved a lot of things. My vocabulary has improved. I've had some areas that have gone up, like in my grammar and spelling. Everything's taken a turn going up, so I'm very pleased with it. But Starkey could offer it cheaper. It would be great for a lot of people that can’t afford the $6,000 price. I'm able to afford it because of my retirement and how I've done things.

    With my Starkey hearing aids, I don't ask my husband to repeat what he said, and I can hear things that are happening in the other side of the house now. It's awesome. When I take out them at night, I notice a huge difference. I love them, and I never knew I had hearing loss until I started wearing these on a regular basis. There's a device behind my ear, then it comes around and I place this little rubbery thing inside. There's also something like a fish line that hooks into the inside of the ear. In the morning, when I put my hearing aids on, I hear this hissing sound for about 30 seconds to a minute. The doctor said that my brain then tells me, "Oh, I don't need that sound" and then it stops.

    On the right side of my hearing aids, it's the volume, then on the left side, I can press a button that gives me four features, including personal, restaurant, and outdoors. I tried the restaurant feature and it was probably better than the personal, but I did not notice a difference. I thought I was hearing more tinny sounds, but it's hard to tell 'cause I was in a restaurant. We were in the bar section, and the TV was going.

It's a good product and I'm getting good service. They don't show much and they're easy to get in and take out. Also, it's nice that we go back and there's a doctor on site that meets with me.

    Everything's more crisp and clear with my device. But I was shocked by how poor the Bluetooth Function was compared to other devices out there. I listen to audio books or phone calls and it's just not very clear. It'd be nice if the Bluetooth was stronger so you can walk away from your phone more than 10 feet and still be able to hear. Other than that, I like the size in that it's hidden. Plus the app is nice where I can change the sensitivity. The auto feature works as well as it sounds.

    I did a massive amount of research and looked at a ton of different reviews before I made the decision to go in the direction of Starkey. I knew what I wanted and I didn’t want to spend extra dollars. My hearing aids are the old school battery kind and the little pod goes in the ear canal. I like how you can turn it up and down very easily. These hearing aids are of great value. I do insurance financial services. It’s nice to really hear what the clients are asking or saying without asking them to repeat it five times.

    Starkey is amazing, friendly, and caring. They do a great job of staying in touch with me and making sure my appointments are right. I've had to reschedule before and they do a great job there too. I rarely ever wait more than one or two minutes beyond my scheduled time. I tell everybody about my wonderful mechanical ears every opportunity I get. I'm trying to get my dad to get some. Starkey should keep doing what they're doing.

    The hearing aids come in very nice and handy on shooting. I'm around helicopters all day, so I use them for that. I also use them if I'm on the yard and they work really good. The only downside is they turn on too easily. So, if you put them in the case and it hits the little tab, they turn on and run on, and sometimes when you go to get them, then they're dead. There needs to be some kind of safety on them and there needs to be a little two-step. That way, if you touch them when you put them in or if you close the case and it touches the on/off button, it doesn't turn them on.

    Other than that, they stay charged a good while and I don't have any issues with the charge on them and the battery life. The cost was also good because insurance covered them. They're comfortable to wear, too. But there's too much wind noise. So, if you're outside and the wind's blowing, there's no way to cut the wind noise from blowing off of them unless you mute them or you play music.

    The hearing aid performs okay but the reason I'm not wearing them as much as I should is that there is a sound that's like the wind is blowing in my ear and I don't like that, especially when I'm in the car. It's not a loud sensation but it's an interference. Also, I got the ones with the little batteries in them versus the charger. I wish I had gotten a charger because I almost never remember to pull out that battery and the battery life would last longer life if you pull it out. Other than those, it’s a nice set of hearing aids if I wear them. I hear a whole lot better.

    I've had the Starkey hearing aids for three years and I have had issues with them. I go back, and they will take them, and then they will send them back and then send me new ones. But this has happened quite often with the Starkey. A couple of weeks ago, I went to them and they couldn't offer me anything that is like the ones I have when they have to take a hearing aid or both and send them back. They said, "Yeah, we'll get this fixed and we'll send it back." But these hearing aids are supposed to last six years. From the very beginning, when they started to not work and I had to send them in, it wasn't as if they would send my own back. The ones that I have in my ears right now, I have no idea how old they are. They're not my originals. I told this to them when I was there, and I'm going to tell them again when I pick it up. I'm not really a fan of this brand anymore.

    When you pay this much money for something, they should last. I should not have to go without them. I should not have to keep going in to get them fixed. I'm just struggling with that part of it right now. My warranty ended a couple of months ago, so I'm about to embark on getting a new service plan or a warranty. But I love the hearing aids. I love that this happened. It changed my life. There are so many things about them that I do love. I love that they're small, and that they charge quickly, I love that they help me do my life and my job. I also love the way they work with my app.

    The rep from Starkey was very nice. I really like her, and I prefer her over any of the others that I've come in contact with. She's very professional. She seems to know how and what these hearing aids do. She knows the product really well. My hearing aids go behind my ear, and the bud goes into the ear. They made things much better because now, I can fully participate in conversations, which I could not do before. My husband has a pitch in his voice that I was able to always hear. So, I could always understand what he was saying. I would just look at him and say, "Am I supposed to be answering something here or what?" He would nudge me and say, "Oh, yeah." I'd answer. I don't have to do that anymore. As a matter of fact, when he talks, I have to turn my hearing aids down.

    Also, my hearing aids made things a lot easier. When I visit my kids and they're watching the TV, their sound system is different than my sound system, and I can still hear what's going on on the television. Plus, I am able to keep up with the conversation in the room. They've been really good. With the first hearing aid that I had, I would have problems here and there. I had to send them in because I was getting a lot of feedback into my hearing aids. Now, I was a little disappointed that they charged me for that because I hadn't had the hearing aid that long. The ones that I have now worked a lot better than the ones that were being repaired. So, in between the time that I got the repaired ones back, I got talked into buying better ones.

    I ended up spending another $5,000, and they didn't credit me for the repair of the other hearing aids. They just kept the other hearing aids and said that they were gonna be giving them to disadvantaged people. As far as the representatives, they did a really good job. If people need it, they could try a pair of hearing aids and see what a difference it makes in their lives. Starkey has a good program to do that with.

You don't necessarily get the ones you bought back. If I send something off, I would like to get what I started with fixed. Either that or new ones instead of refurbished ones.

    I've been with Starkey ever since I've had hearing problems. I went into a place here in Marble Falls that was Starkey, and I talked to the guy there and told him I had bad hearing problems. I said my dad did too. My dad bought hearing aids that stayed in the dresser drawer, and I told the guy, "I don't want to wear mine in the dresser drawer. I want to wear them." He said, "Well, I can fix you up." I have all the respect in the world for him. He got me started on Starkey, and then as I got to hearing better and technology improved, I got newer ones and newer ones. The reps are great. They call to check on me and to remind me of stuff. They're not like telemarketers. They're like normal people and they talk to me like normal people.

    I've been struggling the last couple of years with the hearing aids I had. I had to piece together what people were saying and I needed to really look at their face to be able to have a conversation. In a room full of people, I was isolated even though I could hear everything. I went in to get my hearing aids adjusted, and the girl said, "I got something for you." She gave me these new ones. The cost is outrageous, but quality is the best of it. I can now carry on a conversation with my family and my wife. I still have problems and they still need to speak clearly, but it's like a whole new world. I'm a different person all together.

    I hadn't been able to hear out of my right ear since 1980 and my left ear was getting worse and worse over the years. Now, I can hear well out of both ears with my Starkey hearing aids in. It's hard to tell what direction sound comes from, but I can hear it. I like the hearing aids. I was having a lot of problems with them to start with, but lately, they're doing good. I've had to send them back to the shop four times in the past two years. The battery that wouldn't last very long. Another time, the one on the right quit working. I sent them off, and they repaired them every time. The warranty took care of everything. It hadn't cost me anything.

    The translation part is cool. I like the idea that it has a GPS so that I can find them. I also have the thing that you can put on your TV so that my TV goes straight to my hearing aids. I teach at a school, and if I want to, I can set a setting that it automatically goes to when I go there. When I go to church and if I want a different setting there, I can set it. It automatically does that without me making any changes. When I'm driving, I put my phone in my pocket and it goes straight to my hearing aids. It started picking up the car noise and everything got louder. It started amplifying the outside noise every time somebody would call. I called Starkey and the rep told me he could fix the problem. He asked if I had my charger with me. I didn't because I was at work and I was supposed to call him back but didn't.

    I was losing the ability to hear pretty fast. I got hearing aids that I could afford and what I considered to be probably as good as any hearing aid out there. My Starkey hearing aids have features on the back that I can increase or decrease the sound. I chose the model that has a place for television, crowd, restaurant, or normal. I like the fact that they're nice and loud. When I get them turned high, I hear better. I use them frequently. I don't have any problem with hearing over the phone. The only thing is I have a problem with words. I can hear it very well but I can't distinguish exactly what they're saying. I have them on right now and I'm trying to watch a program on TV.

    My mother-in-law, Ruth, has very severe hearing loss and without her hearing aids, she hears nothing. You have to scream at the top of your lungs to get her.

Starkey has corrected her hearing as much as they can.

    My mother-in-law has lived with us 11 and a half years. These are probably the third or fourth hearing aids that she's had. She was with another company that suddenly went out of business and sold their business to Audibel. And Audibel has been wonderful. We've been very happy with their product. They completely replaced both of the hearing aids at no charge. They're no longer warrantied, but we've had them long enough. They sent her new ones and she’s had them now for five years. She won't feel bad letting them set her up with new hearing aids at any time now. Also, Starkey keeps them clean for free. The hearing aids she's got now are good. Plus, they're rechargeable. She quilted for many years and she doesn't have feeling in her fingertips. So messing with those teeny-tiny little batteries has been a constant challenge for her.

I put them in my ears when I get up at 7:30 in the morning. I take them out when I get ready to go to bed. Sometimes it would be 7:30, sometimes 8 o'clock. The hearing aids switch over to a battery if my electricity goes out. I got one that will last for eight hours. I'm satisfied with what I got.

    Original Review: Aug. 21, 2022

    My son, 8 years old today, has been using Starkey hearing aid devices since the age of 3 and has profited from them. Unfortunately, last autumn we bought a new pair Starkey Livio BTE R 2000. One of them stopped working after two months. We have sent it to the provider, they said they had it replaced, although the outer shell looked the same (same serial number inscribed on it). It stopped working again the next day.

    I bought a new one from another provider, the same model and after two months again it started making noise. I have sent it to the new provider and hope it will get replaced this time. My son is really frustrated and is obliged to wear his older pair (Muse 2000). Please let me know which steps to take. I can't afford a new pair of another model which would be the ideal solution. Thank you.

They would quit, and she'd get them to working. She was real nice, and she stayed on top of my appointments. She would call me if I missed an appointment too.

    There's a new girl now, and she's okay, but I don't know her. I went back to visit a few days ago, Monday. One of my hearing aids quit working, and I just took them in.

    I have a high-frequency deficit. I had spent 17 and a half years in the underground coal mining industry around heavy machinery. Using no hearing protection back in that timeframe caused a high frequency loss in the 4,000 Hertz range in my left ear. I also developed tinnitus in my left ear. When I started using these hearing devices, we got them adjusted so they adjusted the sound levels in the frequency where I've got loss at. I started hearing things that I haven't heard in a long time.

    For instance, a lady's voice is a higher pitch voice than a male person's voice in most cases. So there were times that my wife would be talking to me and I would tell her that I didn't hear her because parts of what she was saying was in the frequency range that my hearing deficit was in. The devices have helped with that a lot. I like the fact that whenever I get a phone call, I can hear it. It works great. I'm fully satisfied and happy with them.

    I decided I wanted to try the rechargeable ones and the person I dealt with said that would be $900 more. So, I paid it and got them. It works fine. Although, on normal settings, when I'm with people, everybody hears but I don't hear what's going on all the time. I have the Bluetooth and I like that. But I don't like the hearing aids because they're so big and I'm not going to use them again. I want something that's smaller, which will have to be batteries, and goes a bit easier into the ear.

    I go in every three months and they clean the hearing aids. I wasn't impressed with the young man that I was working with. But he since has gone. Also, the office is not fully staffed. It just has the young ladies in it that will take the hearing aids when I take them out. And they will go back in another area and clean them good and put the new little white thingies in, and they come back and hand them to me. Where I came from in Ocala, Florida, they would look in my ears, they would put the hearing aids in to make sure they were in properly. Starkey never does that. They don't touch anything.

    Starkey's devices don't sound mechanical compared to the other ones I tried. I also liked the feedback that their audiologist has given me and I liked her personality. So far, I have been pretty content with the quality of my hearing aids except my device will not stay charged for 24 hours. About 12 hours is all I'm getting out of them now, then they start telling me battery low and they'll go dead. But I’m going to try to get back over their office this week and see what we can do about it. The first pair I had, you had to put batteries in them and I didn't have any issues. This time, I got the rechargeable ones and the batteries aren't lasting like they should.

    Hello George -

    Your hearing aids help keep you connected with your world. It's understandable that you're looking for what next steps to take. Generally speaking, your hearing professional will be able to assist you with any troubleshooting, maintenance, or adjustments that you may need, and they can also assist with sending the hearing aids out for repair (charges may apply if they are no longer under a warranty or support plan). With the age of your hearing aids and the recent technological advances that have become available in the last few years, your hearing professional may also recommend upgrading to newer hearing instruments. Unlike other manufacturers, Starkey will repair devices that are older than five years old. If you should choose to send the hearing aids in, your hearing professional should be able to add a new worry-free warranty.

    If you would like to connect with Starkey's Customer Service team with any questions, please call (800) 328-8602. If you are in need of technical support, please call (866) 637-9243.

    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 would like a refund on these. I have now paid for two pair of these terrible hearing aids. And, I foolishly just insured the second pair, thinking that the new pair would be better. I paid $6900 for the first pair and an insurance copay of $595 to replace the ones that fell out of my ears. These hearing aids have caused me nothing but stress and loss of large amounts of money, with no hearing improvement..sound is amplified but not good sounding.

    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 own my own construction company and have not been able to hear my clients for about 3 months now and that’s not good for my business due to not hearing the clients when it comes to details and financial matters. Things could end up really bad for my company to say the least. (I make sure that the client and I are on the same page to prevent that from happening but it’s a whole lot of unnecessary time I spend to do that and my family is getting less of my time than they should due to having to spend that time). As a business owner, I stand by my product and service 100% to ensure my client’s satisfaction as I believe every company should be expected to do so. Starkey pushed me off onto a vender every time I called to get help from them.

    My hearing aids are a year old and were still under manufacturer’s warranty 3 months ago when I started having problems with them. Since then, I have not been able to get a vender that doesn’t want to charge me for everything as if they were brand new but paid for. These are the worst hearing aids that I have ever had and the worst service from the manufacturer I have dealt with and I have been wearing hearing aids for 39 years.

    I would expect the “self proclaimed” industry leading technology manufacturer to handle such a small problem with a lot more inside help rather than just pushing it onto some company that wants to charge the purchaser for service on Starkey’s products. The products are junk and the service is even worse because they are aware that they make junk. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone because it’s just the run around and pay even under warranty game. STAY AWAY FROM THE JUNK THIS COMPANY MAKES!!!

    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.

    Again, I am not complaining about B.S. Wisniewski, they have tried to give him different size plugs to fit his ear, but so far nothing has solved the problem. I have to say, I am truly disappointed that my husband's hearing isn’t much better than prior to hearing aids, I’m afraid he will lose them with them hanging out of his ear all the time. This took a serious bite out of our limited income, as we are both living on our small Social Security checks. I think we paid a very large price for something that really isn’t working for him. We have had many fights about this subject, so this has caused me a lot of grief. Thank you for listening.

    This might be a little long, but hope it will explain the situation and maybe come up with a solution. I got a set of Starkey Hearing Aids about 10 years ago. They were CIC and I believe analog. During the three-year warranty period, both of them were in for repair 3 or 4 times each. Then I got a set of Miracle-Ear CIC. For the 3-year warranty period, 1 was sent in for repair one time. Last year I was accepted by the VA for their hearing aid program. I received a set of Picasso CIC at the end of October 2020. At the end of December both had quit working and they were sent in for repair. When I got them back, the left is ok, but the right one would not turn on for a minute or so when closing the battery cover.

    Now after a couple of weeks, after it comes on it will go off in about two minutes. If I take it out of my ear, it will turn back on in one minute. Put it in my ear, and the cycle starts over. My guess is it is body heat related. Another then that I don’t understand is the wax guards. With my old set, I was replacing them every week, With the new ones I am having to replace them almost every day. With the Miracle-Ear, I replaced them maybe twice a month.

    I have never got them wet. I take them out in loud noisy environments. At night the battery covers are opened and put in a hearing aid dryer. Every time I have had my ears checked they comment on the small amount of wax I have. Have nothing against the Starkey company. Years ago, when I lived in Eden Prairie, MN, I worked for a computer company and installed a lot of equipment at Starkey. Will have the bad one sent in again, and let’s see what happens.

    This is my second Starkey hearing aid and I like the features it offers. My current one is rechargeable and I'm a little disappointed in the battery life. My older Starkey used batteries and seemed to last longer. But overall love the product.

    This is my first experience with HA’s, the Audiologist was pushing Starkey, now I wonder if there was an sales incentive to get me in these. It took three tries to get a pair that worked. I should have stopped then. Finally I had a working pair until starkey sent a software update. I called starkey to find out if there was something I needed to do. After talking to customer service for a few minutes I was told that the check I wrote for my HA’s was not made out to starkey so don’t ask them! My audiologist was shocked, she called got it fixed. Now with last update it drains my phone battery in about 4 hours. Can’t call starkey, audiologist doesn’t have a fix, a lot of money to not be able to get help. Disappointment doesn’t describe how I feel toward this company.

    The Live 2400 are the second set of Starkey hearing aids I have purchased. The first set was amazing and I never had an issue. My hearing and needs changed so I had to upgrade. Since my first set was so reliable I decided to stick with Starkey. Unfortunately I have had nothing but issues with this Starkey product. They stopped working within the first 6 months. They have been sent back to the manufacturer twice and now I am going through batteries every 3 to 4 hours. The rapid loss in hearing ability is affecting life and job. When they are working properly, these are fantastic and I can't say enough good things about the product and company. Sadly, I think this particular model seems to be a lemon.

    Hi Amy,

    Thank you for the feedback, and I’m sorry for your experience. I don’t have enough information to research your particular hearing aid repair history, however I have seen incredible results in the last two years with the Livio product line. If you would like to have us dig deeper into your account with the product to understand better the changes between the hearing device of your past and the current model, please email with the serial numbers. I would love to get your permission to consult with your Audiologist about your case. If you like this idea, please let me know, and I will provide you with a contact email. I do hope you are hearing better and staying safe.

    I’ve been wearing hearing aids since I was 35 years old. I’m now 63 so I’ve had several pairs of hearing aids. All Starkey. The Halo 2 that I have now are constantly not connecting with my phone through the Thrive app provided by Starkey. I have sent them back for repairs multiple times. And they say the problem is with my iPhone. I’ve gone from an IPhone 6S up to an iPhone X and still the same problem! My aids are still under warranty. My audiologist admitted that Starkey knows there is a problem with the Halos and IPhone connectivity. So I asked about an upgrade to the Livio (I used them for 2 weeks and they NEVER had any issues connecting with my iPhone.). I wanted to upgrade but my audiologists only offered a discount off of the full price of a pair of Livio. So I would have to pay $4000 plus tax to upgrade even though my Halos are still under warranty.

    Starkey does Nothing to help their users even though they know there is an issue with their hearing aids. I use my phone to book clients, explain procedures and most of the time my aids won’t connect. Don’t buy from Starkey, their customer support is awful! They just send you back to your audiologists and they can’t help you because of Starkey’s design flaws!

    Hi Libby,

    Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with Bluetooth and we will use your feedback to improve our products and service.

    If you haven't already directly reached out to us. We'd like to see if we can help with the problems you are having, so please contact us at 1-800-721-3573 or mobile_support@starkey.com at your earliest convenience. We also welcome any questions, feedback, or suggestions you might have.

    In the meantime - the following are tips for addressing connection difficulties such as this:

    a) Do you have other Apple devices in your area using the same Wi-Fi and have the same iCloud account? If you do turn the Bluetooth off on those devices. Apple has a feature call Handoff that lets other devices connect to the hearing aids.

    b) If you have the hearing aids paired to another device, turn that device Bluetooth off.

    - When you experience the hearing aid not being found by the Thrive app, toggle off Bluetooth for a few seconds, then back on. The majority of the time, it will get discovered by the app.

    - There are times when the Thrive app will not find the hearing aid, and you will need to power cycle the hearing aid(s).

    - If you make calls using Wi-Fi from home, please see if you are using the 5GHz band, not the 2.4GHz.

    - Turn off ‘Control Nearby Devices’ under iOS Settings>Accessibility>Hearing Devices

    Well, my story started 12yrs back when I developed sudden hearing loss in both ears. I used to use a Bernafon BTE, then promoted to Bernafon ITC. But due to their huge size, they were always a concern for me. Then I learned about Soundlens IQ 11 and purchased one (not pair) for left ear for 2400USD in 2010 from Kuwait (was working there). I was happy for a while because it was invisible, but that is it. After I came back India, my audiologist convinced me to get another for right ear, so another 2800USD in 2013 (IQ9 and more costlier than my old IQ 11). I don't why so much variation in prices. So both of them are dragged for 4/5 years.

    Now new city and new audiologist. Finally there was scam from Starkey that INR 3,00,000 (3975USD) hearing aid selling for INR 50,000(~665USD). And my audiologist just sat on throat to purchase new one. She'll advertise like super cheap, better hearing quality and blah blah blah. My old Starkey hearing aid were getting worn out, so thought to upgrade them and purchased a pair.

    First problem is that susceptible Model number. I was using Soundlens IQ 11 and IQ 9, now this is Soundlens Synergy 2400, note IQ is missing. So that made more confusion whether Starkey is selling cheap product under a different Model number. And believe me till today my audiologist wouldn't explain where is IQ model, all she'll say IQ is obsolete model, Synergy is new model. If it is obsolete why IQ is still displayed on Starkey website? Moving on, the day I received these new hearing aids, I could feel there is a lot of amplification, but voice quality is compromised. Then she told me another theory that it will take time to adjust. Making simple phone calls were so impossible using those hearing aids. So paid a huge amount, got brand new hearing aid and all you got is disappointment.

    I refused to accept the hearing aid as those were unusable during office hours, so we did 3 times back and forth from Starkey to my audiologist. Mind it new ones!!! And finally we called Starkey folk to the place where I bought, but he is of no use. Since Starkey employee itself gave up, all I had option to buy it forcefully. I was lucky that I had not paid the full amount. Just for sake of the audiologist and her genuine trying to fix it, I decided to buy only one and refused to buy the other one. That went on another drama where she forced me that customized hearing aids cannot be returned, which is another lie. I learned from another audiologist that all hearing aids comes money back warranty for 10/15 days. So after a series of heated argument, she asked me to pay INR 7,000 for shelling and return it.

    Unfortunately, my old IQ 9 gave up after a week and had to purchase the one I had returned. She lied to me again, and charged 7K for return + 50K for hearing aid + 7K for shelling), so literally I purchased the same hearing aid that I returned with additional 7K. After spending so much, these Starkey Synergy 2400 would always need a repair in every 6 months now. They would just shut off without any reason at any fine day. I remember that horrible day when I was returning from another country, both of the hearing aids were just dead in the same morning and I had a flight to catch. I just did an oversea travel without any hearing aid with immigrations and check-ins to be done :(.

    Now I get a very common reason that "humidity" is the real culprit and dumped me a dehumidifier for hearing aids for few grands again. Note I never had humidity problem in IQ 11 and IQ 9 hearing aid. To summarize, after spending nearly 8000USD (so far) with Starkey, I am using my 2nd hearing aid which is 10 yrs old and that costed my around 300USD. So take away from my story and for Starkey is:

    1. Hearing aids are not fashions, they are costly and dependable devices. Please stop selling cheap products with huge discounts for sake looting people.
    2. There are a huge number of model numbers in Starkey, stop confusing customers and your selling partners.
    3. Do a quality check for your selling vendors.
    4. My new hearing aids have gone at least 3 times repair within 2 yrs of purchase. Repair it properly, don't just wait for hearing aids to go out warranty and charge a huge amount to customers after that.

    5. While making an IIC product, didn’t you know that humidity could be a problem and place right parts for them? Starkey Synergy 2400 IS “NOT AT ALL” WEATHER FRIENDLY, STOP MANUFACTURING THEM IN INDIA.

    I’ve had Starkey hearing aids for about 7 or 8 years and they’re great. I upgraded to the Livio aids about three years ago, which was a worthwhile change. I tend not to use all of the various adjustments that are available, limiting them to a regular setting, a setting I call “restaurant” which is for noisy environments, and a setting I call “car” to deal with feedback when I’m in the enclosed space of my car (it is set to go on automatically when I’m moving faster than 10 mph, so I don’t have to adjust anything when I’m in my car). I have not noticed any problems with my hearing aids, but I’ll see my hearing provider next week for a hearing checkup and may upgrade if the hearing provider thinks the newer aids may be even better than my current Starkey Livio.

    When I purchased my current hearing aids, I experimented with the AI model, but decided they weren’t useful for me because I do a fair amount of exercise and perspire enough that the perspiration always kills the batteries. Accordingly, I would not get any accurate reading of my exercise level since the batteries would die just shortly into my exercise sessions. If I were to pick my biggest complaint about the hearing aids (which may be true of all hearing aids), it’s that I can’t use them while I exercise because the perspiration gets to the batteries and they stop functioning. I, therefore, unfortunately, don’t use them in my group exercise classes (all, of course, on hold during the Covid-19 lockdowns).

    I would like to use my hearing aids to better hear the TV I have in my home exercise room, but the perspiration always causes the batteries to stop working in the middle of a workout. I don’t know if rechargeable hearing aids will be better or worse for exercise. My main concern is that the perspiration will destroy the hearing aids. Anyway, I think Starkey makes a terrific hearing aid, but would prefer one that wasn’t quickly affected by perspiration.

    Starkey has a program called hearing now. It is a program to help people who can't afford hearing aids. I applied for it. Starkey gave me a pair of free hearing aid Which was very nice of them. But I didn't know they only had a 90 day warranty. They broke in a 120 days. I can't afford to fix them So I'm kind of stuck. I do have to say they are better and what I had and I can hear Out of them.

    I have owned these aids for 4 years. From the very beginning I had issues with them, every time I answered my cell phone the aids would cut off making it very difficult to hear with my only good ear partly because the hearing aid was in my ear and second it would make sounds like it was trying to connect. For 2 years I tried to get STARKEY to correct this issue their response was there was nothing wrong with the aids, and that they had never heard of the issue I was having.

    After 2 years they finally admitted that there was an issue with my aids and replaced one. This did not fix the issue it was still the same. They the tried to fix both of them but on return nothing had changed. They still had the same problem. This was extremely frustrating, first because I use the phone to talk with my clients, second because in order for me to talk on the phone I had to take the aid out of my ear so at least I could hear something all while driving. To this day I still do this at no time where the aids corrected it took them two years of complaining before they even recognized there might be a problem. I was finally told that it was my iPhone and there was nothing more they could do. I paid big dollars as you know for aids that have NEVER worked as they should.

    Dear Mr. Kennard,

    We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. We’re sorry to hear about your frustrations and we will use your feedback to improve our products and service.

    I wanted to share some thoughts that may help with your connectivity issues. a) You can do a simple test to figure out if the root cause is your phone by unpairing the hearing aids from your phone and pair it to another iPhone in your household. Then, test the results of the new connection. b) The other option is to change the microphone setting for streaming to mute. c) You can also create a new memory and use it as your streaming memory and not the default. d) Lastly, you can remove the TruLink App and test the hearing aids.

    We acknowledge that none of these suggestions will erase the past. In the future, we welcome you to contact mobile support to see if we can help with connectivity issues you may have, so please contact us at 1-800-721-3573 or mobile_support@starkey.com.
