What is the difference between OTC hearing aids and regular hearing aids

The main difference between OTC hearing aids and regular hearing aids lies in how they are obtained and fitted. OTC (over-the-counter) hearing aids are designed for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss and can be purchased directly without a prescription or fitting by an audiologist. They are more affordable and convenient, making them an excellent choice for those seeking accessible solutions. On the other hand, regular hearing aids require a professional fitting and adjustment, which can address more severe or complex hearing loss but often come at a higher cost.
