This article from #ASHASIG8 shares perspectives from an editor, an audiologist, a hearing aid user, and a researcher on recent rulings by the FDA granting access to over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids https://t.co/SK6c4EWMgI @lauracocophd @SDSU @karl_strom @sharieberts

[Karl Strom @karl_strom]

@BrandonSawalich @HearingTracker @abrambailey As you state in the article, I don't think there's ANY question professional care and a real hearing test is THE best first step. But I do hope OTC encourages people to try amplification and hear firsthand the benefits of audibility. We also need to work on educating consumers.

The big news of the day is 7 years in the making. In 2015, @BarackObama's President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) recommended creating a new OTC class of hearing aids. Today, the @US_FDA issued the final rule. OTCs coming SOON!
