Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others
Hearing Loss | Last Active: 22 hours ago | Replies (1534)Comment receiving replies
Hi. Just joined the group.
My husband and I both have hearing issues. I can’t hear women/children and he can’t hear in groups or with other sounds.
We are looking at the new OTC hearing aids and wondered about experiences others have had with them.
Thanks

in reply to @persia In my opinion I think you would be disappointed with a purchase of OTC hearing aids simply because a hearing test needs to be done in order for you and your husband need to know the extent of your hearing losses. I would recommend that you contact a hearing aid dispenser in your area and get a free hearing exam. In the alternative have your doctor refer you to an audiologist before making any decisions. Personally, I know that an OTC hearing aid would be of no use to me, and I know several people who have tried them without success.
