“After test and evaluation and being fitted with an aid it did not work for me Do not believe the refund if you are not satisfied or as their sign says “2 week FREE trial”. It cost me $200 for the “free” trial as a “cancellation “ fee. In all honesty you do have to sign a purchase agreement letting you know about the fee but if you don’t sign the agreement you don’t get your “free” trial”

Official Response from Gulf Coast Hearing Center - Panama City:
“Thank you for your honest review. We are sorry you are unhappy with your experience at our clinic. We strive to provide the best possible service for each person who comes through our door. As our sign states, we offer a 2 week free trial on the MORE hearing aids which we keep in office as "demo" hearing aids for that specific purpose. When doing this, a purchase agreement is not filled out. When we have to order specific hearing aids or products for a patient, a purchase agreement is filled out and the 2 week free trial does not apply. As you mentioned in your review, it does state in the purchase agreement a cancellation fee that may be retained from a refund if the hearing aids are returned. We apologize for the miscommunication.”
