Beltone Hearing Aids

Rating based on cost and quality. Bought a pair in 2019. $8000, but since they referenced my son's Anthem group number (did not run through, only put number in) got a 20% "discount" to $6400. Lost one during covid mask fiasco and replacement was $400. At the end of the warranty they advised sending them in for "free" refurbishment. When they came back, was told that they just replaced with new (so it is cheaper to give a new one than fix the old one???). A year later the left one died and would not charge. Said for $300 could get it refurbished with a one year warranty. Oh yeah, they replaced it with new (so they're making money at $300). So five years later I have paid $7100 for 6 or about $2400 a pair. And now the right one is dead and they are not getting another penny from me and am getting fitted for more advanced AI hearing aids from a different source that includes an actual ear MD as well as audiologist.

Unless you are SUFFERING significant hearing loss (not simply annoyed that you miss some dialogue on the TV) you do not need $5-$6,000 dollar hearing aids.

I don't care for their tech or his repeated mission to HELP me, I simply want the product to function so when someone uses the ice dispenser it doesn't blow my brains out while I still can't get the dialogue on the TV.

I don't need to hear the footstep of our 10lb Havanese or the sound of a mild breeze sounding like a hurricane. Beltone makes other highly rated hearing aids under different names that sell of a third of the price and do the same things.

On Beltone brand Techs can set these hearing aids based on what they think you need instead of what you are comfortable with and you cannot adjust them down.

Had to have one battery replaced costing me $360 and they have to send it in? WTH. I paid the 5k for these hearing aids. Would prefer a better solution than Beltone. Time to shop around before the other battery needs replacing. Don’t want to deal with Beltone again!

Again I would NOT recommend the sales pitch without reviewing and comparing others first. I have different sized portals for my ears. The silicon size doesn’t fit or stay in.

The only time they fit is when I have Beltone put them in. They can see what they’re doing. I wanted ones that didn’t hang wire over my ear. They said $4,000.00 (which is maximum my insurance would allow) would cover the costs. I was not shown other options.

I do feel ripped off compared to the costs of best reviewed hearing aids. The best CS reviewed was $2000.00 per ear. A single piece that fits into the ear without cumbersome thick aids I was given.

Again I would NOT recommend the sales pitch without reviewing and comparing other companies or aids. I’d do better with amplifiers.

I purchased the Beltone Imagine 17. From the beginning the sound quality was off. The streaming only works correctly if I hold the phone right in the center of my body. I was told to make something so I could hang around my neck! I absolutely refuse to do that.

They thought giving me a Phone Link 2 would fix the problem. All it does is amplify the bad sound I already have. I have iPhone 12 Pro Max Plus. I even spent the money to upgrade to the iPhone 13. It did the same thing.

My advice is if you see a problem make sure you are able to return if they can’t resolve it. Now I am stuck with hearing aids I absolutely hate and not enough money to discard these and buy another brand.

I was excited when I bought this. I had previously 3 or more hearing aids from Starkey and other brands and I still have one. I bought thinking I may need a new one soon. But I am greatly disappointed with my purchase having paid $5500.00.

It has been 5 months since I purchase but it is absolutely not useful and now I cannot return to get my money back. I a retired 92 year old man on a fixed income but it useless. I am now using only the old hearing aid.

The person whom I bought it from is not able to adjust it properly. I don’t know who else to complain about this. He upgraded it but takes a long time between adjustment. The ear mold is very loose and I have complained it to him.

He says he has ordered but looks like it is taking forever to receive them. In such condition I would recommend anyone to deeply consider before buying this Beltone hearing aids.

I am very sorry to write such review but it is absolutely a disappointing experience for me and loss of money. Maybe I didn’t buy it from a right person.

I lost a lot of hearing in my right ear due to vertigo. It was so bad I was having to read people's lips in order to communicate. It starting have the episodes more often. So I already was tested, knew I need hearing aids, so I went to Beltone.

Was tested again and I could hear out of my right ear for the first time in forever, it was amazing. The thing is I wear them and can't tell I have them in. So if you are experiencing hear loss, go to Beltone and get tested, you will be amazed at the difference it makes.

Do not buy these hearing aids! They are the most expensive hearing aids I've ever purchased and been wearing hearing aids all my life and I'm currently 45. I Paid $8000 for my top of the line Beltone amazed which I'm totally unamazed!

I have had nothing but trouble, very unsatisfied with the product and Beltone's customer service. I am having connection issues with and issues with the app hear Max. I'm having Bluetooth privacy issues with Beltone and currently have the earpiece of my left hearing aid broken off at the wire and stuck in my ear.

Went to emergency room for the 2nd time to have this same problem taken care of because beltone Corp (after they are paid) won't provide any relevant help.

Last but equally as frustrating is the rechargeable case. What a bulky, heavy to carry on you, expensive piece of trash.

I have already had to replace mine and I am just loving the fact that you can't even turn them on or off without the rechargeable case that beltone engineered for $400.00 and you can't go without but will need another! Do not buy these hearing aids!

While I was waiting for a new rechargable battery case to come in I purchased a pair of Samsung Galaxy pro buds for 80.00 and the have a ambient noise feature that almost was loud enough and the sound quality was way better than the beltone and I have 80% hearing loss in both of my ears and worn hearing aids all my life and switching back to Starkey.

I got new aids last July 2021 and had nothing but problems with the Bluetooth disconnecting. These are Beltone boost aids. I have gone back several times and no success.

Andy has been great trying to get it straightened out but no success. I just downloaded the latest app on my phone and the same problems. I had cheaper aids that never gave me this problem.

I paid more money out of pocket for better aids. You would think you would not have this problem with technology today. I am not happy with Beltone and will not recommend them to anyone.

Again nothing against Andy. He has been great working with me. It just seems corporate should be doing something to fix this problem. Or they don’t care once they are paid and the customer has the aids.

The person who is trying to adjust my hearing aids is fantastic. In my opinion I bought a $6000 piece of junk. Many of my relatives have bought Beltone over the years but I believe the company is way behind in technology.

My Bluetooth capabilities does not work with my android phone. Any music played through them sounds terrible. I can buy a $50 wireless earbuds that make my expensive hearing aids sound bad in comparison.

Can't get them adjusted to a level where my hearing was two years ago before I bought them. Even while wearing them I have to ask people to repeat what they said.

After I bought these expensive items I get sales ads telling me I can get $1000 off. Where were you when I bought mine? Junk. Do not buy.
