State seeking customers of hearing-aid company
New York -- A state assistant attorney general said Tuesday his office in Binghamton is looking for customers of a closed Oneonta hearing-aid business. Michael Danaher said he is following up on a court order from Nov. 2 that shuttered Expert Ear Inc., which was located at 360 Main St.
The business owned by Kathleen Marcie was operating without being registered by the Department of State, according to a media release from the attorney general’s office.
Under the order, Expert Ear Inc. and an affiliate company owned by Marcie, Hearing Aids Wholesale, were permanently banned from the sale and service of hearing aids. Marcie was also required to provide a full accounting of all hearing aids and warranties sold since August 2003 and ordered to pay full restitution to those who purchased hearing aids.
Marcie did not have a listed phone number in the Oneonta area and her business line was disconnected.
Danaher said people who purchased hearing aids and warranties from Marcie or the two companies may be eligible for full restitution.
He said they can call (800) 771-7755 for more information.
