New legislation is opening the door for hearing aids to be sold directly to the consumer

The Food and Drug Administration finalized a ruling that opens the door for tech companies to sell hearing aids over the counter, without a visit to the audiologist. Not only will this create more competition and a drop in prices, but it will also remove some of the stigma surrounding hearing loss. If a person can buy aids online, in anonymity, the feelings of insecurity at visiting a doctor are a non-issue.

In fact, if they were to buy an in-ear hearing aid online, it’s possible even their loved ones wouldn’t know they have hearing loss. And let’s not forget there are plenty of folks who are aging and/or disabled for whom trips to the audiologist remain a major hurdle. Now, those with perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss may be able to skip visiting a hearing care professional altogether.

While there are plenty of positives to the new rule, it’s important to remember that hearing aids contain complex technology, and getting one fitted and calibrated at home requires some technical know-how. For the tech-averse, working with an audiologist may still yield the best results.

But for those of us who welcome the idea of ordering in our pajamas and tweaking the audio settings just how we like them, it’s an exciting time. The hearing aid market is poised for explosive growth, so some hearing-aid-makers already have their hearing aids available for purchase.

Without FDA approval, a company cannot classify its product as a “hearing aid.” Instead, they are called “listening devices” or “personal sound amplification devices” (PSAP). We’re noting which of these are FDA-approved or registered, and which are not.
