Response from FDA


Dear John

Thank you for contacting the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) at FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) DICE@fda.hhs.gov e-mail account.

Establishing an over-the-counter category for hearing aids is a priority for the FDA and we are working hard to review and respond to the many comments we received as we develop the final rule.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide a timeline for when this will be complete and final. Please continue to check our web site at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/consumer-products/hearing-aids for updates. Additionally, you can sign up for email updates at https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/center-devices-and-radiological-health/subscribe-cdrh-email-lists


Sincerely,

Consumer Team

Subject: OTC Hearing devices
Message:

Good morning,

Looking for an update on OTC hearing devices, this seems to be way overdue.
Hearing aids are not affordable for most, including myself.
Can someone from the FDA please post an update?
Would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and have a great day.
