hear.com Additional Services

Features and Price - 4 / 5

Hear.com customers work with hearing aid specialists during their free consultation, who can discuss the many hearing aid options available through the company. Your hearing test will be administered in person by a licensed audiologist or virtually, if you prefer. Adjustments to your hearing aids may be made in person or, in many cases, via mobile app.

Features and prices vary according to the hearing aid model you eventually choose, but customers can benefit from the latest hearing aid technology, due to Hear.com's network of manufacturers.

The company doesn't currently list the total cost of its hearing aids on its website, only the cost to finance them. For customers who don't wish to finance their hearing aids but rather purchase them outright, that makes it difficult to comparison shop. The company does state that customers pay between $139.00 and $229 per month for 36 months for a pair of hearing aids. Hear.com will work with your insurance provider to help you claim the maximum benefits available to you.

Hear.com offers a risk-free 45-day trial period, during which, if you're not satisfied with your hearing aids, you can return them for a full refund. Depending on the model you choose, your hearing aids are protected by a warranty of one to three years.

I received a call from a very delightful lady named Terri Gilbertz. She was great, I agreed to purchase the hearing aids on the monthly plan. The folks that do the testing came out to my home and did the test. Super awesome and easy. I was so impressed. The tester said she would email me a copy of the contract and my test results. After that every thing started going down hill. She did not send me the results until 2 weeks later but no copy of the agreement. My billing was to start on the 15th of the month. I was given that option by Terri. Two weeks after on the 1st of the month i was charged on my bank account, the next day I was charged again. I call Terri and she responded... Read More

The woman who provides the Hearing Test in The Rocky Mount, N.C. Office. 1356 Benvenue Plaza 27801 Down East Hearing Care Associates. Should not have that Position! I was told I'd receive my hearing test regardless the fact I was late due to unavoidable circumstances. They're was only one person in there!!! My hearing consultant knew the struggle I experienced to get there and find the place. This woman was very Rude telling me she was so booked up she could give me a test at the end of the day if I wanted to wait!!! I was very cordial to her. I also could tell she was lying. Just lazy! Very sad. I had planned to purchase the $6,000. X2 coffee bean style hearing aids!... Read More

Charged my elderly mother $75 to return her hearing aids during the "absolutely risk free" offer. Aids hurt her ears, didn't help and they couldn't make app work.

I had no idea how much I was missing. The loss was so gradual that the sounds in life that makes us all feel alive had slipped away. It is amazing to regain the sounds that make you feel alive and attached again.

Richard U Warminster, Pa. I was referred to a very good audiologist in my area and received a top brand of aids for less than half price of one of the top companies in the nation. I have had them for about 8 months and am enjoying them while receiving excellent care when I returned for adjustments.

Awesome and professional, all hearing tests were conducted in a booth, not like it’s competitors tests that were conducted in an open air office.

My experience with you has been horrible. In 2018 you referred me to a local audiologist for a hearing test and hearing aid fitting. The technician was not able to effectively fit and adjust the Siemens hearing aids. That's when the real problem started. I called your 800 number to request another audiologist. After 7 phone calls to you, I still do not have a name of another company to get these $4K hearing aids working properly. You tout customer service especially for veterans. You are a joke!!!
