ALBANY, N.Y., March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The progressive decrease in hearing in elderly people can represent a major problem for their quality of life: it has in fact been demonstrated that critical issues such as these, in addition to being a problem as such, can favor the onset of cognitive deficits of various types. People affected by hearing loss, therefore with hearing problems, have a risk twice as high as others of developing dementia.

Key Points:

  • However, an FDA policy last October allowing the sale of OTC hearing aids without a prescription has resulted in massive price drops and less oversight of the OTC hearing aids flooding the market.
  • As a result, we recommend one product that we think is one of the best OTC hearing aids .
