What are OTC Hearing Aids?

OTC hearing aids are medical devices designed for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.

Unlike traditional hearing aids, they don’t require a hearing test, prescription, or professional fitting. You can purchase OTC hearing aids directly online or over the counter at a hearing care center.

Here are the hey benefits of over counter hearing aids:

No prescription or hearing test required
Easy to buy online or in-store
Lower cost than prescription hearing aids
Adjustable settings for personal comfort

While they generally cost less, OTC hearing aids are a one-size-fits-most option and are not custom fit to your specific ears.
