Why it matters

Most of what you pay at a hearing clinic isn't the hearing aid, it's the appointments and the markup.

Legal since 2022

The FDA created a category of over-the-counter hearing aids for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, final rule (2022)

Thousands per pair

Prescription hearing aids averaged about $2,400 each, before fitting appointments.

President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (2015)

Rarely used

Among adults 70 and older who could benefit from hearing aids, fewer than 1 in 3 has ever used them.

National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders

Worth treating

Hearing loss is one of the largest modifiable risk factors for dementia.

Livingston et al. (2024), The Lancet
