Return refund issue

I order BTE hearing aides. Within 10 days of my final fitting by an excellent audiologist, I wanted to return the hearing aids for refund because they did not work in a noise situation ie noisy restaurant. I paid full amount $3,975 with credit card. I asked to return them but received no communication on where to and how to. They refused to refund money because I was over 45 days since first online visit with audiologist not the last fitting. I initiated a credit card challenge. Hear.com finally responded to the credit card company with a 33 page agreement of fine print which I signed on line on their 16-inch laptop computer from their Finance & Account Auditor. He stated in his letter that I could "contest the return period term and have a Code Red Case opened for review of this account." I agreed to that but did not hear anything. I am currently working with the credit card company (who have been excellent). My friend who has the same hearing aids paid by installment versus full price. I wish I had done that. I still have not heard from anyone re "Code Red Case". I paid USPS $78 to return the hearing aides to the Finance and Account Auditor with insurance and signature. Overall they have a good base support with AI generated response and support personnel but once you need interaction above them it does not seem to be there.
Right now they have the hearing aids and my $3975.
I bought the hearing aids from

I just filed a complaint with the Florida BBB. It is interesting that a number of others have experienced refund problems with hear.com.
12/30/25
Would suggest that you visit BBB Florida website to read complaints regarding hear.com. It is interesting that a number of people had issues with customer support after buying hearing aids.
121 complaints in last 3 years. 64 complaints closed.
Some were just about texts but look at some of the 2025 complaints, you see a repetitive complaint and reply.
1/29/26 Reply to Hear.com:
Hear.com: As stated in the Purchase and Delivery Receipt you signed at the time of purchase:
“I, the buyer, may request a full refund within 45 calendar days of delivery of the original hearing aids. Refund requests should be made by contacting hear.com and returning the hearing aids to the service office within the specified time.”
TK Reply-I cannot find the above words in the contract I received through Capital One from Mr. Eldridge at hear.com. What I do find in the printed contract is the following:
3) This assistive device is warranted to be specifically fit for the particular needs of you, the buyer. If the device is not specifically fit for your particular needs, it may be returned to the seller(hear.com) within 45 days of the date of the actual receipt by our or completion of fitting by the seller, whichever occurs later. This warranty does not affect the protections and remedies you may have under other laws.
I tried to return the hearing aids through email communication on day 28 from my final fitting with hear.com’s audiologist.
Hear.com:
A statement expressing potential intent to return at a later date does not constitute a formal return request under this policy. In addition, authorized returns are issued with specific instructions and a UPS return label to ensure proper tracking and intake. These steps were not completed within the trial period.
TK Reply -Why didn’t hear.com communicate with me regarding a return? No where in my documents from Mr. Eldridge does it say how or where to send hearing aids back. In fact when you do the fitting with audiologist you use equipment sent with hearing aids. The package included a mailing label to return this equipment.
Final Note:
I am not the only person who has had a money refund situation with hear.com. As mentioned before review Better Business Bureau complaints section. Also the 1-2 star reviews on Trust Pilot and other review sites.
It is a $3,975 purchase. Beware!

Reply from hear.com

Mr. Kirby,

Thank you for sharing your review. However, your Trustpilot post contains several inaccuracies that must be clarified for prospective customers.

At the time of your fitting appointment, you signed the Purchase and Delivery Receipt that governs the 45-day trial period. That signed agreement clearly states:

“I, the buyer, may request a full refund within 45 calendar days of delivery of the original hearing aids. Refund requests should be made by contacting hear.com and returning the hearing aids to the service office within the specified time.”

This is the policy you agreed to at the time of your appointment—not a document later sent by Mr. Eldridge or provided only through a credit card dispute. The return and refund terms were presented and acknowledged at the point of sale and fitting.

The return policy requires two things within the trial period: (1) a clear and definitive request to return, and (2) the hearing aids physically returned within the same 45-day window. A statement that you “might” return the devices after traveling is not a formal return request, and the hearing aids were not returned within the trial period.

It is also important to be clear: no company issues refunds without the product being returned within the stated deadline. Written intent alone does not substitute for returning the hearing aids. That is standard retail practice across all industries, especially for medical devices.

You also claim you received no communication on where or how to return the devices. hear.com provides return labels and instructions when an authorized return request is made within the trial window. Our review of all recorded calls, emails, and text messages confirms that you did not request return instructions or a shipping label during the 45-day period. As a result, a return authorization was not issued.

Additionally, the credit card dispute you initiated was reviewed and denied by your card issuer. hear.com has acted fully in accordance with the signed agreement and the issuer’s determination. The hearing aids are now your personal property, and a refund is not authorized under the terms you accepted.

Lastly, your repeated references to online complaints misrepresent the scale of our company. hear.com has helped more than 450,000 customers improve their hearing and quality of life, and the number of formal complaints relative to that volume is extremely small and not reflective of the overwhelming majority of successful outcomes.

hear.com has conducted multiple internal reviews of this matter and has communicated its decision repeatedly. This outcome will not change, and this matter is considered closed. - Ashley, Customer Success Team

Very competent and classy service

Very competent and classy service. I was impressed with quality of the Kit that was sent to help with the initial exam. The audiologist that worked with me was kind and patient with me. I never felt pressured to buy. Finally, it was so nice to able to easily contact and talk to a live person. Now that I have purchased hearing aids the online help is provided by alive individuals without going through endless seeming phone trees and incompetent ai.

These really work!

I was skeptical at first. Usually, online promotions never live up to their hype. Not in this case. These hearing aids work better than any I have tried. I haven't heard this well in decades. In addition, each member of the staff was terrific to deal with. I have already recommended them to my brother-in-law.

Misled about patient adjustments for hearing

I took notes during my hearing aid setup with Dr. Brex and he recommended a patient adjustment after a month or two. Instead, they sent an incomplete kit and refused to make a settings adjustment, telling me the 'adjustment' was only for repairs. I was mislead, emails, phone complaints and texts went unanswered. And judging from comments from others, I won't be surprised when they claim that they 'can't find' any record of my complaints.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry for the frustration and confusion this situation caused and understand how disappointing it can feel when expectations around follow-up care aren’t met.

After reviewing your feedback, call records, and correspondence in detail, our team identified that there was a misunderstanding regarding the purpose of follow-up adjustments versus a full hearing evaluation with headphones. While follow-up appointments typically involve fine-tuning the original programming (and do not require headphones), we understand that this did not align with your expectations or the way the information was initially interpreted.

Most importantly, we’re glad we were able to reconnect with you and move toward a solution. As discussed, we have arranged for a new hearing aid evaluation appointment using a complete testing kit with headphones, so your hearing can be reassessed and your devices reprogrammed as needed. Your new appointment has been scheduled for January 27th at 10:00 AM, and a replacement testing kit will be sent to you closer to that date.

We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to address this properly. Our goal is always to ensure our customers feel heard, supported, and confident in their hearing care, and we’re committed to making this experience right for you. - Ashley, Customer Success Team

Very clear audio from these hearing aids.

When I first received my aids, I was amazed at how clear the sound was. I understood the people around me and was able to hear the TV without having to have volume turned up 15 more clips. My other aids were the kind that has a wire from the device behind my ear, so it has taken me some time to get used to having my entire ear plugged. You do get used to it though.

From the first interaction I could sense this was a first class company. Very professional in all interactions. The patient prep kit they send is eye opening. And remarkable. In an hour you’re up and running. From the start, the first two minutes, I could tell the technology and earpieces were clearly superior to what I was currently wearing. ( 3rd set)
And 3 days after starting, I left on a 3 week international tour. And the customer care team was always in communication. Seamless!
It’s a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for!
