The answer depends on your needs. Over the counter (OTC) hearing aids improve accessibility for those with hearing loss. These devices are cheaper than professional hearing aids, but you may still miss out on the benefits of visiting an audiologist.
OTC Hearing Aids
OTC hearing aids are available at the pharmacy or big-box stores and don’t necessarily require a hearing test for purchase. However, the usual process includes conducting a hearing test to assess your hearing health. You’ll then select the hearing aid that meets your needs – if it’s available. The wrong hearing aids for your individual hearing needs can cause more damage than good.
