It’s estimated that 1 in 10 Americans suffer from hearing loss. In the past, the most-commonly prescribed solution was prescription hearing aids, but in October 2022, the FDA announced a new category for hearing devices - over-the-counter hearing aids. Choosing the right hearing aid involves a comprehensive understanding of various factors. Audiologist, Christina Andreasen, provides insights into the differences, benefits and capabilities of over-the-counter options and traditional hearing aids, as well as the signs and symptoms of hearing loss and when someone should consider seeking medical attention.
