Why NOT Traditional Hearing Aids?
Traditional hearing aids often add to the confusion for people seeking treatment for hearing loss. You’ve likely seen the ads: “As Seen on TV” offers, letters in your mailbox, and mailers from local retail hearing aid dealers. Without proper education, you may believe all technology is created equal. It isn’t.
Traditional Hearing Aids
Traditional hearing aids have been available for over 40 years and work on the premise of making all sounds louder. Although this technology uses tricks to reduce background noise, like turning off certain microphones or boosting certain sounds, it cannot adapt to different listening environments or provide enhanced clarity of speech.

Over the Counter Hearing Aids
Recent legislation made over the counter hearing aids legal in the United States. These are one size fits all devices fit at home without a hearing evaluation and without the medical care of a professional team. The FDA has limited their use to people with mild to moderate hearing loss, although there is no way to enforce this. Fortunately, the Attorneys General in several states, including Texas, Arizona, Michigan, and Ohio, have started cracking down on misleading claims about how effective this technology is.
One size fits all
No hearing evaluation
No professional medical care
