The FDA announcement on Tuesday comes after Congress passed the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act in 2017.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Tuesday that some hearing aids will now be available over the counter, which will lower the cost by thousands of dollars.
In a statement, President Joe Biden said that the new ruling will deliver « nearly $3,000 in savings to American families for a pair of hearing aids. »
Similarly, Brian Deese, the White House director of the National Economic Council, tweeted: « By Oct, people can buy many hearing aids OTC, saving an avg $2,876/pair.
