I am a hearing aid customer with boots but the follow up appointments kept getting cancelled, first due to pandemic, then later due to staff shortages. Eventually I went in store and arranged a follow up appointment. The audiologist said my hearing aids were not that good and things had moved on and before I knew it she was fitting new ones on. My old ones were in ear ones because I wear headsets at work in customer service role. I asked if they would work with headphones and she implied they would (they didn't) and she didn't give any advise. The right one ran out of charge very quickly and had to be sent away, and she expected me to use just the one turned up.Two weeks later I collected it then found that my left one was not lasting a full day, the right one didn't have very good sound and she fobbed this off as possible ear wax. I get the impression that all boots want is the sale and the customer care is not there. I am taking them back at my next appointment on Thursday and getting a refund. I will go somewhere that can give me advise and help. Just an update, I have taken the hearing aids back now and got a refund, I asked if she could check my current ones and when she did she was able to increase the sound so that they worked better. I wish this had ben done when I went originally
