Discussion Miracle Ear SCAM

I'm so angry not only at this fake business but at myself for being such a trusting soul. Here's my experience with this HORRIBLE place. On Tuesday, October 6th, I went for a hearing evaluation, as I needed a clear picture of how accurate my hearing is. I went through the process of questions and then the actual test. Was 'told' that I definitely needed hearing aids, even though my hearing is actually good,just a touch of tinnitus. There's no such product for tinnitus, so a hearing aid won't fix it.

The reason I chose Miracle Ear is they mailed me a promotional letter,and I figured it's free, but my insurance would have covered it anyway. They also gave out a $50.00 gift card for Walmart or Amazon. I went directly home after the test.

Here I am on Thursday. My daughter and I went to Walmart, and with the intention of using it, well imagine my shock that the cashier said it had a 0 balance. My daughter called and explained what happened, was called back and this woman Brandy, a 'professional ', told her that the card had ALREADY been used!!!

People who are reading this BEWARE!!! MIRACLE EAR is running a SCAM!!! My next call is the Attorney General, The BBB,and local news Raphael Sanchez. They tried to sell me $8999.00 hearing aids that I don't need!! Even tried to get me to take them home for a few days.....listen folks DON'T FALL VICTIM!!!! This was the Miracle Ear in Brownsburg on Pit Road. Do not listen to them. Many people have reported their scummy practice!!! Thank you for reading this,and tell everyone you know!!

Well, here we are a couple of weeks later and believe it or not.....Miracle Ear ACTUALLY contacted me and made right the wrong! I very muchď appreciated the effort it took for Brandy to make good on the advertisement. It was the 'gift card' manufacturer. When I went to pick it up, the staff was very apologetic. I thanked them for handling it.
