HEARING AID USERS BEWARE! A new hearing aid scam has been reported :(
One of our local audiology partners in Wales reported that a customer of theirs was called by an unknown company last week, asking that she pay for a check up appointment on her hearing aids by card over the phone. Luckily for this lady she remembered that our partner Audiologist DOES NOT charge for check up appointments, and therefore put the phone down!!
... Countrywide Hearing hand pick their Audiologists to ensure customer care, and the aftercare we provide via our network of Audiologists is FREE for the lifetime of the hearing systems, which includes regular 6 month check ups.
Please share this post to SPREAD THE WORD to your family members - we don't believe this scam is isolated to Wales so its important everyone is aware!
