Over the Counter (OTC) Hearing Aids

General Information about OTC Devices

OTC hearing aids may now be sold over the counter, such as in retail stores and online. The purchase of the OTC devices does not require a hearing evaluation or a consultation with a hearing care professional. One goal of OTC hearing aids is to provide more timely access to lower cost devices. A hearing evaluation with an audiologist is still considered a good first step in order to find out if you would be a candidate for an OTC device or if you require a prescription hearing aid. Hearing evaluations are often covered by your medical insurance, but it is always a good idea to double check your specific coverage.

OTC hearing aids are improving the access and affordability of amplification devices, but the first step would be to see a licensed audiologist to determine if you would be a candidate for an OTC device and to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

Custom Hearing Protection

Since everyone’s ears are unique, the best protection will come from custom-made earmolds. We offer a variety of custom earplugs designed specifically for different activities.

Prevent water from entering your ear canal, which can contain bacteria and cause an infection. These plugs are made of waterproof silicone.

Specifically designed to eliminate dangerously loud sounds while still letting important, subtle sounds enter your ears. This helps hunters remain safely aware of their surroundings.

Reduce all sounds evenly while maintaining quality, so that music and speech is as close to the original as possible.
