Do I Need A Hearing Test For OTC Hearing Instruments

The FDA recently created a new category of hearing instruments called over-the-counter (OTC) hearing instruments, which can be purchased from a retail store or online without a professional hearing evaluation. OTC hearing instruments are intended for people with mild to moderate hearing loss, but this requires the consumer to decide how advanced their hearing loss is. Because hearing ability is entirely subjective, hearing loss often goes unnoticed until it’s beyond the mild to moderate stage. A diagnostic hearing test can determine the degree of hearing loss and sometimes the type and cause of hearing loss. This helps you and your doctor decide how to treat your hearing issues and which type of hearing instrument  is best for you.  

 Finding the right person to trust with something so precious as your hearing can be difficult, but folks in the Gahanna area have a real advantage in us! Here, we are committed to providing quality healthcare to all our patients, backed by extensive education and experience. Our advanced training gives us a broad understanding of the wide variety of hearing technologies available today. If you are concerned about your hearing or a loved one’s hearing, now is a good time to call us!

P.S. Hearing instruments purchased through a hearing specialist are now labeled“ prescrip-tion hearing aids” by the FDA. Compared to prescription hearing instruments, OTC hearing instruments have limited volume levels, customization, IT processing, and other features.
