This will help million of Americans
Adults with a hearing impairment will be able to purchase hearing aids directly from stores, pharmacies and online retailers, without the need of a prescription or doctor’s appointment
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved this change, and it will come into effect in two months’ time, following years of campaigning.
The Biden Administration says this will make the devices more accessible and affordable for millions of American citizens.
The new rule only applies to certain air-conduction hearing aids and for people over the age of 18.
