Description: The delivery model for hearing aids has been changing, and will continue to change, with the Food and Drug Administration’s marketing authorization for the first self-fitted hearing aid.  Debate has ensued regarding the consumers ability to successfully manage their hearing difficulties without professional intervention.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify next steps in the regulatory and rule making process for Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids and how then can engage in this process.
  2. Discuss the pros and cons of including Over-the-Counter hearing aids in their practice.
