Abstract: In 2022, the FDA issued final regulations establishing a category of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, aimed at making hearing aids more affordable and accessible for millions of Americans living with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. OTC devices are beginning to change how patients, clinicians, and the industry operate and interact with each other. In our technology-centric world, it’s important to meet the patient where they are comfortable, whether that’s in your office or remotely. In this session, you will learn about the clinical evidence behind Eargo self-fitting OTC products and pathways for fitting Eargo devices in your audiology clinic.
