OTC hearing aids open market cutting costs and access
The FDA allows over the counter sale of hearing aids for adults with mild to moderate loss, skipping a specialist prescription. Retailers like Walgreens Walmart and Best Buy offer kits from about 200 to 1500 per pair with tests and apps aiding setup. Most costs fall under 1000 dollars, but coverage remains limited and devices may need replacement every several years.
