Privacy Policy 

Please review our Privacy Policy at https://www.hionec.io/, which explains our online information practices, including our collection, use and protection of your data and information. By using the Sites, you confirm that you acknowledge and agree to these policies. 

 

Online Hearing Assessment/No Medical Advice 

Hionec’s Online Hearing Assessment leverages audio files developed by research engineer and sound designer Dr. Stéphane Pigeon. A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing. 

 

Hionec advises that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that your interests are best served by a medical evaluation by a licensed physician before purchasing a hearing aid. Any hearing test or examination conducted by Hionec is not a medical test or examination and is solely for the purposes of fitting a hearing aid. Certain hearing tests which may be purported to be required by state law prior to hearing aid purchases may include in-person evaluative elements that cannot be fulfilled by the Online Hearing Assessment. 

 

Any information obtained through the Sites or from communications with Hionec, including the Online Hearing Assessment and any email or telephone interactions with Hionec personnel, is for informational purposes only, and neither Hionec nor any of its personnel in any way proposes to offer medical or other professional advice. Please consult your personal health care provider before making any medical decisions. Any communication between Hionec, including any of its personnel, and you does not create a doctor-patient or other professional relationship, and cannot be assumed to be subject to patient or other privacy protections except as explicitly provided in our Privacy Policy. In addition, you acknowledge that hearing loss may result from conditions that could be serious or life-threatening, and which are best evaluated under the care of a physician or otolaryngologist. If the Online Hearing Assessment indicates the potential for a more serious condition, you will be advised to speak with a physician or otolaryngologist or other appropriate provider of in-person care. 

 

Mobile Applications 

The following terms (in addition to the other terms contained in these Terms & Conditions) govern the use of our mobile applications (each sometimes referred to as an “app”): 

 

The app is intended for use together with a medical device aimed at persons with hearing loss. The app is intended to be used with Hionec’s wireless hearing instruments and is capable of providing the user with enhanced user possibilities and experiences, including enhancing the volume of environmental sounds and voices. 

 

The Hionec app sends and receives signals from the Hionec wireless hearing instruments using the Bluetooth® technology standard. You will therefore be able to apply the settings to your wireless hearing instrument using the app on your compatible smart device. The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Hionec is under license. 

 

Please follow the instructions provided and if necessary contact Hionec support before using the app. 

 

With the app it is possible to receive remote service updates for Hionec’s wireless hearing instrument. Two types of services may be available: 

 

Remote firmware updates: A service to update the firmware of your wireless hearing instrument. Hionec pushes firmware updates to the app when available from our manufacturer. 

 

Remote Adjustments (also referred to as Remote Fine Tuning): A service for us to help with receiving your requests for hearing aid adjustments, and updating and confirming your hearing aid settings, via the app. When you receive the adjustments, you will be able to apply them to your wireless hearing instrument using the app. 

 

The remote fine tuning service applies recommended amplification settings based on available audio metrical information. Settings are specific to each fitting. Manual modification of the fitting parameters impacts and changes the amplification level prescribed. This change is audible to you when the instruments are connected. 

 

Extra caution should be exercised if you are sensitive to sounds, for example suffering from tinnitus or hyperacusis. 

 

If you wish to use or stop using the service for remote fine tuning, please contact Hionec support. 

 

Performance of remote fine tuning is performed as a professional service by your Hionec professional. 

 

Hionec is not permitted and is technically unable to delete data from any parts of the software used to perform the remote fine tuning. 

 

If you experience any problems using the Hionec app, please contact us or call us at (888) 669-1099. 

 

The Hionec app is provided for your own personal use. 

 

If you wish to stop the collection of data about your app and hearing instrument usage, please uninstall the app by using standard uninstall processes as available as part of your mobile device user instructions or via the mobile app marketplace or network. 

 

Updates 

 

Notifications of app updates should not be disabled in the operative system of your mobile device, and we recommend that you install all updates to ensure that the app will function correctly and will be kept up to date. 

 

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability 

 

Hionec does not provide medical professional advice and the app is not professional medical advice. You should always talk to your personal health care provider or an in-person hearing care specialist for diagnosis and treatment and other medical-related questions or making any medical decisions. 

 

The app must only be used with Hionec mobile-supported wireless hearing instruments. Hionec takes no responsibility if the app is used with other unsupported devices. 

 

To the furthest extent permitted under applicable law, Hionec hereby disclaims any and all liability arising directly or indirectly from the use of the app. 

 

Hionec does not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, and you agree that from time to time Hionec may remove the app for indefinite periods of time, or cancel the app at any time, without notice to you. In this case, you can still use the hearing instrument and have onsite adjustments performed by a local hearing care professional equipped to service the hearing instrument. 

 

Please refer to the user guide that came with the hearing instrument as well as the help information provided in the app for information on intended use, cautions and warnings. Before using the app and to ensure correct usage of the app, it is strongly recommended that you thoroughly familiarize yourself with the functions of the app. You can learn about the app functions in the various support sections of the app. 

 

No Reselling of Hionec Products and Services 

Products and services purchased from this Sites are personal to the individual purchaser and may not be resold, leased, transferred or otherwise distributed (collectively, “transferred”) under any conditions or circumstances. Any such transfer, or use of such products or services by any other person, shall render the warranty and other policies null and void and Hionec shall not be required to provide support or any other services with respect thereto.

YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION PRESENTED ON THE SITES, INCLUDING THE ONLINE HEARING ASSESSMENT, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

All product warranties are in effect from the date of the purchase. Should repair or replacement of a Hionec hearing aid product be necessary, we will make every effort to provide this service in a timely and efficient manner. To facilitate this service, please return the product with a completed Repair/Remake Service form (if required) to Hionec in appropriate packaging. A product repaired or replaced under warranty maintains the original purchase warranty effective date. 

 

Under Hionec’s loss and damage policy, any hearing aid or covered accessory that is stolen, lost or catastrophically damaged can be replaced while the product is under the loss and damage policy. Note that for hearing aids, the replacement must be for the same customer and the same ear, and it must include the same options package as the original hearing aid. The following fees apply: 

 

Hionec hearing aid per-unit deductible: $195 

Hionec charging case (rechargeable models only): $175 

A hearing aid may be replaced only once under this program, and may not be returned for credit. The effective date of the product warranty on the replacement unit is the same as that of the original unit. Ownership of the stolen, lost or damaged unit reverts to Hionec. Should a claim need to be filed, contact Hionec support. 

 

Hionec may require that you return the defective or damaged device before sending you a replacement. You must ensure that the correct device is returned to Hionec. If Hionec provides you with an advanced replacement (at its discretion) device before we receive your defective or damaged device, and you do not return the defective or damaged device within the time communicated to you in notification emails, you authorize Hionec to charge you, including via your original form of payment, for, and agree to pay, the full value of the replacement device. 

 

Standard Return Policy: If a hearing aid or accessory is returned for credit within 100 days from the date the item was delivered to the customer’s specified address, along with all included all batteries, cords, accessories and other items (other than any disposable items which were used with the hearing aid/accessory), you will receive a full refund of the purchase price. Hionec will pay for return shipment. To be eligible for return, the returned items must be in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excluded, the return must be initiated with Hionec support within the 100-day period (no later than midnight Eastern time on such 100th day), and all items must be received by Hionec within 14 days after the end of such 100-day period. 

 

Return Policy based on Medical Opinion: Within one (1) year from the date of your hearing aid purchase, you may cancel your hearing aid purchase and receive a full refund of the purchase price if you receive a written opinion from an otolaryngologist, or if no otolaryngologist is available another licensed physician qualified to diagnose diseases of the ear, subsequent to purchasing the hearing aid providing that you either have a hearing impairment for which a hearing aid provides no benefit or have a medical condition which contraindicates the use of a hearing aid and as a result of either condition, you have experienced no improvement in the quality of your hearing. 

 

Out-of-Warranty Repair: Hionec will accept for repair and other necessary services any Hionec hearing aid or accessory included therewith for a period of five (5) years from the date of the hearing aid purchase. Hionec shall deliver an itemized bill showing the repair and service provided and the charge therefor.

Permission for Telehealth Services 

As part of its hearing care services, Hionec may provide certain Telehealth (as defined below) services to you.

You understand that virtual encounters via phone, email, video, or otherwise could involve, and you hereby consent to the use of, automated tools for diagnosis, care, treatment or communication pertaining to hearing matters. You also acknowledge that such virtual encounters may involve care by a variety of hearing care professionals, including audiologists, hearing aid dispensers, and various support personnel. 

 

You give permission to Hionec and the hearing care professionals to record and process your personal details and health data. You may withdraw these permissions at any time by written notification to https://www.hionec.io/ in which case you will no longer be able to receive Telehealth services from Hionec. 

 

“Telehealth” is the delivery of healthcare services using technology when the healthcare provider and patient are not in the same physical location, and/or the virtual delivery of healthcare services, including by a medical provider or via digital or automated tools, such as tools for medical or health-related diagnosis and treatment. The Telehealth services may be used for diagnosis, treatment, care, follow-up and/or patient education, and may include, without limitation, the following: electronic transmission of patient medical records, medical images, and/or other patient data or information; synchronous (i.e., “real time”) and asynchronous (i.e., non-“real time”) interactions via audio, video, text, and/or data or other electronic communications; automated, electronic or digital tools or services for diagnosis, care, treatment and/or communication pertaining to healthcare or medical matters; and output, transmission or exchange of data from medical devices, sound and video files. Further, you understand that it may be possible that your condition cannot be treated via the Telehealth services, or that information transmitted through the Telehealth services may not be sufficient or of too poor of image quality, or insufficient information or data to allow for appropriate medical decision making. Accordingly, you may be advised to seek additional in-person medical care, alternative healthcare or emergency services. If your health or medical problem or condition persists or worsens after use of Telehealth services, you should immediately contact your medical services provider and seek appropriate additional in-person medical care or emergency care, as appropriate.
