FDA allows hearing aids to be sold without prescription
The ruling applies to devices for adults with mild to moderate hearing problems.
Millions of Americans in need of hearing aids will soon have a more accessible and affordable option to buy them without a prescription. The Food and Drug Administration this week finalized a new rule allowing for the devices to be sold over the counter; the ruling applies to hearing devices for adults with mild to moderate hearing problems. No medical exam or specialists are needed.
“It is going to be a lot more accessible because you won’t have to go to the doctor, you won’t have to get your hearing checked. It’ll be just like going into a drugstore like Walgreens or CVS for reader glasses,” said Baylie Sappir, a vocational assessment specialist with Easterseals New Jersey.
