PROFESSIONALLY FIT HEARING AIDS
OVER-THE-COUNTER( OTC)
If you ' ve heard of over-the-counter hearing aids, then you may have also heard you don ' t need a professional recommendation to purchase them. While they might function as a self-service option, are convenient to buy and often cheaper, over-the-counter devices do not have a licensed medical professional ' s customized programming to your exact hearing loss. According to ten different studies, the top three reasons for hearing aid dissatisfaction among users were background noise, lack of benefit and poor sound quality. Those are all common issues and can only be addressed by a licensed audiologist with properly fit hearing aids.
