I just found an article about Pennsylvania suing hearing aid dealers who were refusing to accept returns of defective or poor fitting hearing aids. Great work Pennsylvania! This story is a few years old but I wanted to report on it. This is exactly the type of state protection that hearing aid users need. I have a feeling that other states watched this legislation and reacted in the same way. One good deed generating another.
Apparently the hearing aid dealers in Pennsylvania were not accepting returns of hearing aids that did not fit or were broken. The suit called for payments of over $125,000. In more good news, the dealers who were violating the laws were not able to operate in the state until the fees were paid.
Congrats to the state of Pennsylvania for sticking up for hearing aid owners. We salute you!
