Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
Because my hearing aids didn't start messing up until my 60 days was over how was I to know that it will be like this I didn't Pay $2000 to not wear them or break up now I called provide their out of the office for awhile now. So what am I'm supposed to do they keep sending them back and they come back broke again. This is just not right to have a customer go through this over and over. Truhearing makes so much money off of people but claims they are unable to refund anything backIf this does get resolve i will have my lawyer go thru the next process because this is definitely unfair.
Sincerely,

When members purchase hearing aids through TruHearing there are inclusions that are provided. The member is given a 60-day, risk-free trial period where a member is capable of exchanging the order for another, or returning for a full refund. There is also a three-year extended manufacturer warranty that covers defects and repairs under normal usage. If a member has passed the trial period without taking advantage of the timeframe to exchange or return the aids for a full refund, it is best to work with the provider within the warranty to have the manufacturer repair or replace the aids under the warranty coverage. To schedule a follow-up visit members may call the clinic directly, or call TruHearing at ###-###-#### for assistance.Initial Complaint

When members receive hearing aids from TruHearing, the aids come with many different inclusions. One of these inclusions is a year of follow up appointments. These appointments may be used to assist with general adjustments, training, and assisting with general hearing aid knowledge. If a member is having issues with any of the previously mentioned topics, or others, TruHearing typically recommends reaching out to the fitting provider for assistance.
When ear molds are ordered, TruHearing assists in setting contractual limits to pricing for the different types of molds. These molds are ordered through the individual providers that members are seen by. These ear molds are ordered through the provider accounts with local labs or the manufacturers. To obtain information regarding the status of the ear mold order, members would need to contact the provider that the ear molds were ordered through.
If a member is dissatisfied with a current TruHearing provider, the member may contact TruHearing to file a complaint and look for a new provider to assist a member. For members to gain assistance with finding additional provider options, members may call TruHearing at **************.

They refuse to honor original date of my order. They made mistakes. In fact they are penalizing me for their mistakes on the same order. From the units they have sent me twice so far, I don't even think that they should be selling hearing aids .Business Response

On July 24, 2023 I met with a hearing specialist, ****************, to purchase hearing aides. He said my insurance didn't cover hearing aides and I'd have to pay in full. I was surprised, because the company verified my coverage (I have a primary and secondary insurance coverage) when I made the appointment. However, I paid $3,490 with my credit card.The next day, I called both insurance companies. Primary = $1,600, secondary = $3000 coverage. My ***************** called TruHearing in an effort to resolve the issue/confirm I had hearing aide coverage.On July 26, 2023 I spoke with *********************** from TruHearing, who verified my appointment was serviced by Your Hearing Solution. ***** said there was confusion about who the primary/secondary insurance was. I clarified & communicated how the charges are processed: Charge Primary for full amount. They'll pay $1,600 and provide an EOB (explanation of benefits). Send the balance and EOB to ******************* and they'll pay it. 7/27/23 ***** said the Secondary was verified. 8/10/23 ***** said "Your primary ins is applied to the order, after they get your secondary ins benefits applied your hearing aids should be fully covered and you will receive a full refund...but the refund has been processed."8/11/23 ***** reported the insurance **** said I'm responsible for the balance left after the Primary amount, until Secondary pays, then they'll process credit for secondary. 8/17/23 I contacted my credit card company, they haven't received a full credit, as I was told on 8/10/23 nor have they received a partial credit of $1,600 (Primary amount). TruHearing verified my insurance coverage when I made the appointment. Why was I told I had no coverage and to pay in full? Equally concerning, it sounds like they have little knowledge dealing with a secondary insurance company and if I hadn't pursued it, would have left the full charge on my credit card. It's bee a frustrating experience.Business Response
