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.
