In late 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the sale of OTC hearing aids in retail and pharmacy stores. Lexie’s OTC hearing aids, available in over 12,000 stores nationwide, offer a “significantly more affordable alternative” to prescription hearing aids.
“For far too long, hearing care has been underprioritized and inaccessible. Prescription hearing aids were prohibitively expensive and required frequent consultations,” explained Klopper. “Lexie is changing that paradigm. Through our advanced technology and affordable solutions, we have revolutionized the industry. Our OTC hearing aids provide a clinically-proven hearing experience at a fraction of the cost. Combined with our award-winning customer support, we are transforming the lives of individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss, enabling them to regain their ability to hear the people and sounds they cherish.”
TIME’s editorial team gathered nominations from various sectors, including healthcare, entertainment, technology, and design, to compile the list of the TIME100 Most Influential Companies.
