If you're noticing that speech is getting harder to follow, OTC (over-the-counter) hearing aids are a good place to start your hearing journey. They're designed for adults 18 and older with mild to moderate hearing loss, and you can buy them online or in stores — no prescription, fitting appointment, or in-person visit required.
Some OTC models offer simple preset controls, while others let you self-fit through an app or software.
OTC hearing aids may be a good fit if you:
- are 18 or older
- feel that speech is becoming harder to hear
- want a more affordable and accessible option
You should talk to a doctor or hearing professional if you have:
- sudden hearing loss
- pain, drainage, or dizziness
- severe hearing difficulty
- one ear that is much worse than the other
