Over the Counter Hearing Aids Could Be a Winner for Seniors

On August 16th, the Food and Drug Administration issued a final rule establishing a new category of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids.  This will allow people with 'mild to moderate' hearing loss to buy hearing aids directly from stores or online retailers.  Consumers will not need an exam, prescription or a fitting by an audiologist.
