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.
