Sony CRE-C10 OTC hearing aids
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA — Moving to make hearing care solutions accessible to more clients nationwide and across all levels of hearing loss, HearUSA announced today the addition of Sony Over-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aids to its online Hearing Shop on the HearUSA website. By adding Sony OTC hearing aids to its online store, in addition to in all HearUSA centers nationwide, the company is further positioned to achieve its goal to change the lives of one million more people with hearing loss by introducing them to the “Sound of the New Age.”
The two Sony OTC models now available online at the Hearing Shop – the Sony CRE-C10 and the CRE-E10 – blend comfort and technology to reconnect clients with mild to moderate hearing loss to what matters most.1
“More than half of US counties lack access to adequate hearing care services – and the greatest disparity exists within counties with lower household incomes and older populations, those in the most need. HearUSA is committed to changing this paradigm by impacting one million more lives over the next five years. To do so, we must continue to lead the industry in expanding access to hearing care services across the US – through multiple initiatives, beginning by introducing Sony OTC solutions to our online Hearing Shop, where they’ll be accessible from one’s home and across the country.”–HearUSA President James Gilchrist
According to Gilchrist, while certain clients require a prescription hearing aid, “others can experience the life changing benefits of better hearing with an over-the-counter solution”. Some clients will benefit from purchasing their hearing aids in a HearUSA center through consultation with a HearUSA Hearing Care Professional, while others can take a hearing screening and purchase directly online through the Hearing Shop.2

“Sony OTC hearing aids broke new ground for the industry, by delivering clients a premium hearing device at a lower price point than ever before,” continued Gilchrist. “As the country’s leading hearing care provider, we must now ensure that these devices are accessible to everyone, everywhere, regardless of where they live in the U.S. The addition of Sony OTC to our Hearing Shop is a critical step in driving this accessibility, but it’s only the start. We look forward to continuing to develop the programs, platforms, and partnerships required to ensure that those in need of hearing health have access to it.”
