I bought a pair of the evolv AI 1600 ITC hearing aids that were supposed to be compatible with my phone. The Bluetooth rarely works and usually in just one ear for a little while. Their Thrive app keeps disconnecting the hearing aids. This is the 3rd set of hearing aids I have had and the first from Starkey. I will never buy or recommend their product to anyone.Starkey Response

The TV streamer doesn’t work reliably. I called tech support to report this issue. After several mins on hold a rep answered, she was extremely rude, condescending, she continued to interrupt me throughout the whole conversation. She did not attempt to troubleshoot with me, just told me to call providers office. I asked for a supervisor he (Corey) returned my call. Corey did not seem to care about my complaint regarding the 1st rep. He proceeded to be rude as well not quite as rude as the 1st rep but a close 2nd. This is NOT how you speak to customers. I called for my grandfather he received these through the VA. Im glad he was not the one spoke to like this. Maybe they do not care since they have a contract through the VA.

STARKEY GENESIS AI RIC RT O k, here's a new one. My right starkey does not always connect to my phone. I was told if I got anywhere there was apple products could cause a problem. I was told whenever I had a problem with the hearing. Aid to toggle my bluetooth off and on three times. This doesn't sound like a product that's ready for release. My right Starkey does not always charge. My audiologist contacted Starkey about this problem and never heard back from them. The charger also has only one strip of LEDs, so you don't know if both hearing AIDS are charging. They used to have two strips of LEDs, but they did away with that. The hearing AIDS have to get put into the charger one at a time. You have to wait for one LED to light and another LED to light for the other hearing aid. If only one hearing aid connects the strip of charging lights starts to work but you never know the other hearing aid is not charging. The starkey self check app does not always diagnose clogged wax shields. Starkey customer service says my Android. S-20 FE has problems with their hearing aids and their app. The problem is this phone is on the website is compatible. When I talk to Starkey they tell me The problem is android and apple works fine. In my experience I highly recommend you don't purchase Starkey products. I have to say they have a good Advertising agency by the time you're done reading about these. They're better than the invention of the flush toilet. I hate to rant, but if these things are the best, we've all got a problem. I'm going to rate these as a five out of ten.Starkey Response

I also own Starky hearing aids I’m not happy with them. They have been sent back 3-times. Currently my R-hearing aid has a small perforation and only keeps charging for 2-hours. The charger is off only one side is charging. The L-ear only charges at 70% and last about 5-hours. I work. I purchased too of the line hearing aids Starky hearing aids. Currently my Audioligist wants to start charging me. These are under warranty and never worked correctly. They do not fit me correctly. I can’t wear head phones over them as they keep changing signals. FYI: I am not new to hearing aids or hearing aid technology. This is just one big blooper. I could not contact Starky directly to let them know my poor experience with this Hearing aid. My audiologist, who I really like is no longer with the company I’ve purchased the Starkey hearing aids from. So I saw somebody else in the office and during that time they repaired my hearing aids and she took off for three months, and I couldn’t go in to get my Starky repaired again. On top of that they change the name of the company that I originally bought my hearing aids from. So it’s a combination of poor inadequately made product and improper treatment to your patron Now I’m looking to purchase new hearing aids. And I’m very disappointed because I paid a huge amount of out-of-pocket expense on these hearing aids over $3000. I feel as a consumer abused. I feel as a consumer, your product is insufficiently made. I feel as a consumer that the public has a right to know that you are not making a quality product and that your public who have experienced us are going to express it because they can’t reach you they can’t speak to you and you can’t resolve the problem because you hideStarkey Response

I have the Starkey Livio hearing aids. I purchased them through an audiologist/Dr. Office. They worked just great at first, but in less than a year the batteries would not hold a charge for longer than seven hours. The more time that passed the more they would not hold a charge. My audiologist sent them back and I received a new pair which again worked great at first. Just like the 1st pair, the battery is declining and will not hold a charge for long. The right ear hearing aid is even worse. I called The audiologist, but now it's 2 years and my warranty is gone so I am left with very little hearing time and no help. I am also blind and on SSA disability and needed these aids to last the 5 years I was told! I need to hear, and you have left me in a terrible situation. Please Help me!Starkey Response

I am so thankful that you reached out to me and my doctor's ******* and that you have helped me. Starkey has agreed to replace my batteries at no cost to me, and has given me some helpful tips to make them last as long as possible. I am more than satisfied, and feel confident to purchase from Starkey again. Thank you so much.Review from Brian M

In November of 2022, I sent a long email to Brandon Sawalich, President and CEO of Starkey Headquarters detailing all the issues I had with their company and Employees, and it is now Dec. 21, 2022 and I have not heard back from Brandon. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU HERE, DO NOT BUY STARKEY HEARING AIDS.Review from Frances C

DO NOT BUY Starkey Hearing Aids, both in the USA and in Canada, they tried 7 to 10 times to get their ear molds vent sizes to a 2/2.5mm and got it wrong almost EVERY TIME. Also, their receivers that THEY MAKE, do not fit into the vents in THEIR ear molds, that THEY make.... it's insanity. They do not have the Reviews tab accessible to customers on their Facebook account because they don't want people to know how much they suck. Teri R****** at the, Center of Excellence, is extremely disrespectful and demeaning, she said my name like 30 times in a 2 minute conversation, I finally told her, that I know what my name is and she needs to stop taking the superiority airs and come down a few notches. Corey S****** Manager, is an expert as seeming to work on the customers side only to evade his responsibilities when they have failed numerous times. How can a company who designs and builds their own receivers, not make the correct size in the vents in the earmolds??? STARKEY IS A CRAPPY COMPANY, go somewhere else. After putting up with them 7-10 times of them not getting their ear molds right, Corey's response was, well I spoke to our legal team and that's all we can do for you... I reminded Corey that I am the one who wants NOTHING to do with any of YOU, because you all are clueless and they don't know what they're doing. Corey is also an expert at twisting his words when you call him out on stuff... he's an expert back peddler... "Oh, that's not what I meant,.... " "Oh, that's not what I said..." The CEO needs to fire Teri, Corey and the engineer designing their silicone ear molds.Review from John S

Very disappointing experience with the Starkey livio hearing aids. Haven't had them for 2 years and have been supposedly fixed. The right one now is not working again. The company doesn't appear to care about the customer's experience. I have also found that audiologists are poor at helping customers get help with repairs. I'm on my second audiologist who did replace the right aid speaker but now it has failed again. I'm done with this product and company.Starkey Response

The worse company to deal with, after 4 repairs and the last repair, they didn't ask to replace the hearing aid or refund, I had so much problems and they go around how good they are, they aren't. The hearing I have, picks up curtain radio waves and set off my hearing aid to a point, the sounds are totally different. The audiologist did his best and its not him, its Starkey!Starkey Response
