Dr. Denise Testa, Audiologist with Hear The Possibilities.

Recently the FDA permitted the sale of over the counter, or OTC hearing aids.  OTC hearing aids are designed to treat mild to moderate hearing loss in adults 18 years and older.  This ruling is intended to help those who aren't seeking help from a professional audiologist due to a variety of factors that could include embarrassment or cost.  This morning we will talk with Dr. Testa about OTC hearing aids, their pros and cons and other valuable information. We'd like to remind our listeners that today's program is also available on our podcast. Look for Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy in your favorite podcast app and please subscribe.
