Eighty percent of people who would benefit from hearing aids don't wear them, according to the National Institutes of Health. That's because of cost, access and stigma. However, a new move by the FDA may change all of that.
– Eighty percent of people who would benefit from hearing aids don’t wear them, according to the National Institutes of Health.“Stigma is still a big issue when it comes to wearing hearing aids even though on a day-to-day basis you probably couldn’t even tell I was wearing a hearing aid,” KSAT Meteorologist Sarah Spivey said.
The main way to get a hearing aid has been through an audiologist or a hearing health specialist, and the cost of the devices was often bundled with the price of the service the specialist provided to fit and program the equipment, including follow-up visits.On Aug. 16, the US Food and Drug Administration approved over-the-counter hearing aids that could cost between $250 and $1,000 a pair.The devices could be available by mid-October, according to the FDA.
“I created a low-cost direct-to-consumer hearing aid business. We manufacture and sell hearing aids at a much cheaper cost,” he said.
