“You ask what went wrong,very simple . The aids in spite of return and “repair “ more than once would not recharge . By trade standards I was within my rights to reject and have a refund. Scrivens would not refund a penny so my £600. was gone and I had no aids. I will never trust or trade with them again. I would likewise recommend that others do not use them either.”

“Literal thieves! I went in for a new eye test and advice on a new medical condition - I was charged £400 and left with unusable glasses. They couldn't even get my sunglass lens colour right, leaving them patchy & unusable”

“Myself and my Mother have been patients at the Stapleford (Notts) branch for many years and we have always received excellent service from all the staff and from the Optometrist and Audiologist. I had no hesitation in returning to purchase additional glasses (prescription sunglasses) and computer glasses. All the items were affordably priced and arrived well within the quoted timeframe. Not forgetting my hearing aids which I am equally pleased with. **Highly recommended**”

“Just back from visiting Megan in Malton for a hearing appointment to get my Dad's hearing aids working well for him again. Megan couldn't have been more helpful and has sent my Dad away really happy that he can hear again. At his advanced age, being able to join in conversation is so important and he hasn't been able to do that lately. Megan explained everything clearly and was cheerful and non judgemental. Emma and Hilary were also very helpful and welcoming”

“It took six weeks for my hearing aids to arrive. Upon arrival I had problems but the call centre assisted me and I wore them for three days. Since then I have experienced great difficulty getting assistance with them. I have called in to speak to them and they were too busy to speak to me. I have rung the call centre and was given an appointment in Royston, Herts when I live near Royton, Oldham. In conclusion, in the fourteen weeks I have been in the customer care of Scrivens, I have managed to wear my aids for approximately 3/4 days.”

“Many months ago at an appointment with a Scrivens audiologist at my local medical centre I asked him to check my ear for me as the dome on my left side hearing aid was no longer attached and I was concerned it was lodged in my ear .The audiologist immediately expressed doubt but did check my ear and said the dome was not there but there was hard wax present . After being literally deaf in one ear and periodically in some discomfort for 4 months , despite using medical grade olive oil to help disperse the wax throughout that time I consulted with a nurse whilst having a routine blood test . I asked her if she wouldn't mind checking my ear for me . She immediately advised I had a foreign object in my ear which was confirmed with a senior nurse. She was so concerned she made an appointment immediately with the ENT clinic at the nearest hospital . The missing dome was extracted a few days later !!!!!!! I emailed Scrivens customer care on 14th May and sent them a photo of the dome found in my ear . I received a response 16 days later apologising and saying the matter will be dealt with by senior management and investigated internally . Meanwhile they would post some spare tubes and domes to me . They did not arrive so I sent another email and did receive them . Eventually after much reflection on 4th October I emailed Scrivens customer care and said I felt they had failed in their duty of care and I wished to return the hearing aids and asked for a prepaid envelope in which to return them .Their response was to send me an email saying they were very sorry I had not received the tubes and domes !!!!!! On 7th October I replied and asked them why they responded in such a way to my request . As of today , 22 days later they have still not responded !!! Meanwhile I have received two letters asking me to complete a questionnaire to check whether I need any further assistance . You couldn't make it up .”

“Very disappointed that staff at Sutton Coldfield branch did not inform me that the hearing aids offered were not the most up to date aids that were offered by Specsavers. Would have gone there if I had known.”

They explained every test and nothing was to much trouble. I didn't feel rushed whilst choosing frames, the assistant was very helpful.”
