Miracle Ear Data Breach Affects Thousands

Health Services LLC, d/b/a Miracle Ear, has experienced a major data breach. On or around Jan. 28, 2025, Miracle Ear became aware of suspicious activity on its network. An investigation determined that cybercriminals accessed the Miracle Ear network from on or about Jan. 2, 2025 to on or about Jan. 28, 2025. The unauthorized actors had access to and possibly obtained files containing consumer information.

The cybersecurity incident compromised both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) of individuals involved or who have done business with Miracle Ear. Exposed information includes names, contact information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, patient IDs, medical treatment or diagnosis, and health insurance information, including policy numbers, subscriber ID numbers, claims history and appeal records.

The data breach is considered high risk for impacted consumers because the exposure of both PII and PHI increases the risk of identity theft, medical identity theft and fraud. Health Services, LLC published a Notice of Data Security Incident on its website on March 31, 2025.

Miracle Ear also disclosed the data breach to the Montana and Washington Attorney Generals' offices on Aug. 12, 2025. The data breach impacted 11,088 Washington residents and 2,206 in Montana.
