FDA Approves Sale of Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
Clip: 8/18/2022 | 6m 10sVideo has Closed Captions
How a new FDA approval will make hearing aids more affordable.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order and the FDA has now approved the sale of hearings aids over the counter. The hope is that it could bring the price of the devices down - since, to this point, the millions of Americans needing them have had to get a prescription. The executive order also creates more competition in the market, allowing for more affordable options.
