    Advertising Review:
    In March 2017, BBB contacted the business regarding claims it was making in newspaper advertising about its hearing aid products:

    1. "The all new A4 hearing aid with patented microchip technology is the most advanced hearing aid we have ever designed and is available exclusively at Audibel locations listed below."

    2. "For The First Time Ever. The Most Advanced Hearing Aid Ever. Is Smaller Than Ever."

    3. "PLATINUM The Best Of The Best Completely In Canal."

    BBB requested the business substantiate that the claims meet the standards outlined in BBB's Code of Advertising (Section 28, Objective Superlative Claims). The Code states that "Superlative statements in advertisements about the tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service are objective claims for which the advertiser must possess substantiation as they can be based upon accepted standards or tests."

    The business did not respond to BBB and has failed to substantiate or modify its claims.

      My father, age 94, received a cold call from Audibel informing him that he had an appointment. Since my father is 94, and of poor memory, he did not remember if he had an appointment or not.My father called me, and told me about the call. I reminded my father that he hadn't used Audibel for approximately 6 years when he switched to Beltone. We then called Audibel and canceled the, so called, appointment.I feel that Audibel was trying to take advantage to an elderly person in telling my father that he had an appointment that obviously did not exist. That, in my opinion, is a poor excuse for a business, and an attempt at getting money from the elderly. If it happens again, I will be visiting your business to personally file a complaint.
