SaysWho? Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 FDA finalizes rule allowing some Americans to buy hearing aids over the counter | CNN WWW.CNN.COM The US Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday it has finalized a rule allowing people over the age of 18 with mild to moderate hearing impairment to be able to purchase hearing aids over the counter. Quote The rule will become effective in October, the FDA said in a news release, and is expected to reduce the cost of hearing aids. "Reducing health care costs in America has been a priority of mine since Day One and this rule is expected to help us achieve quality, affordable health care access for millions of Americans in need," said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement. "Today's action by the FDA represents a significant milestone in making hearing aids more cost-effective and accessible." The rule applies to certain air-conduction hearing aids, the FDA said in the news release. Hearing aids intended for severe hearing impairment or hearing aids for those under the age of 18 will be prescription devices under the new rule. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Before she retired my old supervisor got her first set of hearing aids. They were expensive as hell but had all sorts of features like Bluetooth integration for phone calls and such. She could set the volume on her phone so whenever she just didn’t want to hear people she could just mute out the world. I’d never been jealous of hearing loss before… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 FDA Finalizes Historic Rule Enabling Access to Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids for Millions of Americans WWW.FDA.GOV FDA aims to improve access to affordable hearing aids for millions of Americans with perceived mild to moderate hearing impairment. Quote Today’s action follows President Biden's Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy, which called for the FDA to take steps to allow hearing aids to be sold over the counter and set a swift 120-day deadline for action, which the FDA met. In 2017, Congress passed bipartisan legislation requiring the FDA to create a category of OTC hearing aids, but it was not fully implemented until now. Consumers could see OTC hearing aids available in traditional retail and drug stores as soon as mid-October when the rule takes effect. “Reducing health care costs in America has been a priority of mine since Day One and this rule is expected to help us achieve quality, affordable health care access for millions of Americans in need,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. “Today’s action by the FDA represents a significant milestone in making hearing aids more cost-effective and accessible.” So the FDA failed implementing this from 2017.
