Starkey's Internet Sales Policy
Starkey is a manufacturer of premium hearing aids, sold only through our worldwide
network of authorized hearing professionals. Our fully trained and credentialed
hearing care professionals are carefully chosen for their ability to deliver proper
testing, fitting and support services that are critical to our patient's receiving
the maximum benefit, performance and value from Starkey hearing products.
Starkey does not sell its products directly to Internet retailers. Starkey does
not endorse the practice of selling hearing aids to consumers via the Internet.
We believe that the successful dispensing of Starkey products is best achieved by
hearing professionals that are trained on the proper use of our products. Optimum
hearing aid performance can only be achieved through face-to-face consultation.
Internet retailers cannot provide our consumers with the same high quality professional
services as those in our network.
Internet Retailers
There are retailers who sell Starkey products via the Internet who are not authorized
to do so. Some falsely claim to be authorized Starkey hearing professionals. Some
misappropriate our intellectual property. Our legal department has taken action
to stop unauthorized reselling of our products. We police the Internet for advertisements,
sponsored links and domain name usage by unauthorized Internet retailers and we
enforce our copyright and trademark rights.
