NRA members may be Starkey’s best target customer. Sometimes they do not wear ear protection.

What a racket all these hearing aids are. Every time grandma screws it up they want another $6,000. And they design them to be sure Grandma is able to screw it up. What a con job biz.

Thta is very stupid on their part. I cannot think of another group that has as much need of hearing aids as old gun guys.

Any businesses cutting their ties with Broward County and the FBI for not doing the jobs we pay them to do?

Good to know.I was recently diagnosed,to my surprise,as having moderate hearing loss and was told I could benefit from bilateral hearing aids.

So now I know which brand to avoid.

Not that anybody has noticed.

I saw where Marx Dayton was one of the Governors meeting with President Trump on gun control today.

I wonder if he brought his own desk to hide under during the meeting.

Not in my case. I’ve been using Starkey Halo hearing devices for 3 plus years now and I can say they do a good job of standing behind their product. That said, this stupid NRA move of theirs puts me in a spot. When will this madness end...

Well, I guess when I start going deaf, I won’t be getting my hearing aids from them.

My VA-provided hearing aids are from Starkey. Maybe Trump will order a new provider, but I’m not sure there is another American provider.

I was just about to point that out - they are the only brand approved for VA funding.

Let them ‘hear’ about our displeasure.
Sick of this.

I just sent a message.

I'm in the business and this can hurt them. They are FAR TOO STUPID to understand that Veterans and NRA members are very nearly one and the same.

Be polite, professional and have a plan... Oticon, Phonak and Widex are superior products anyway.

Here's the contact info: https://www.starkey.com/contact-starkey-hearing

Too bad about Starkey -- they have a tinnitus device.

There are other hearing aid manufacturers.

Top Eight

  1. Hanaton
  2. Oticon
  3. Phonak
  4. Resound
  5. Siemens
  6. [Starkey]
  7. Unitron
  8. Widex
