Hearing aids being offered over the counter is a huge plus for a large consumer network. Thanks to a new FDA rule, this will change the industry drastically.

Hearing aids were only accessible via a prescription. This new FDA rule went into effect today. With this new rule, it allows adults to purchase hearing aids over the counter without both a prescription or a medical exam. With this new rule, we should also see a decrease in price which could be as much as $3,000 less.

Some of the retailers now offering OTC hearing aids include Walgreens, Walmart, and Best Buy, with CVS set to join the list next month. If you know someone that could benefit from this, please send them this article. Hearing aid companies are already putting their offers out there.
