(Pierre, SD) — South Dakota’s Attorney General is warning consumers to watch out for misleading hearing aid offers. Marty Jackley says some over-the-counter hearing aid companies use shady sales tactics, and these devices aren’t regulated by the FDA. May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, and Jackley urges people, especially seniors, to get tested by a qualified professional, not rely on online ads. His office says do your research, don’t trust glowing online reviews, and know your refund rights. And if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you think you may have been scammed, call the Consumer Protection Division.
