Since the new FDA regulations for over-the-counter hearing aids went into effect last month, there have been many questions and comments about them.
Such questions as:
- How might OTC devices differ from prescribed hearing aids?
- Where can consumers buy these products?
- What exactly do the regulations say about how they are to be manufactured and sold?
Rather than reading long, pedantic articles about FDA rules, comments, and codes, HHTM has decided to re-up some of our more recent videos that summarize what several experts say about OTC devices.
