Are you listening? Stage set for OTC hearing aids
WASHINGTON — Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., on Tuesday reintroduced legislation to make hearing aids for those with mild to moderate hearing loss available over the counter. The move already has the blessing of the Food and Drug Administration. The agency in December announced its commitment to OTC hearing aids with the promise of new, innovative and lower-cost products to millions of consumers.
