It is estimated that 28.8 million U.S. adults could benefit from using hearing aids; however, access and cost can be significant barriers to using these devices. In 2017, Congress set forth a process for establishing a new category of hearing aids to be available over-the-counter (OTC). Following a final ruling from FDA in October 2022, pharmacists must be ready to serve the millions of adults who will be seeking hearing loss solutions for the first time at the community pharmacy. This competency-based certificate program for OTC hearing aids will prepare you to help America hear better. This course is estimated to be a 3-hour commitment to learning more about hearing health care. The American Academy of Audiology affirms the value of this training program.
