OTC hearing aids are a new type of hearing aid that consumers can purchase without visiting a hearing health professional. These devices are designed to assist adults who have mild to moderate hearing loss. OTC hearing aids, like prescription hearing aids, make sounds louder so that some adults with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate fully in daily activities. Furthermore, OTC hearing aids are regulated as medical devices by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Sony Electronics, in collaboration with WS Audiology, was one of the first to release over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. With a battery life of up to 70 hours of continuous use, Sony OTC hearing aids provide compact, high-quality sound to enhance your experience in any environment.
