- Generic product
- One Size Never “fits all”
- Not custom-designed for YOUR Hearing loss
- Self-fitting – You will NOT receive any assistance or support from a licensed hearing care professional
- Lack of service
- OTC hearing aids are NOT covered by Medicare
- Only meant for adults with mild or moderate hearing loss
- Risk of serious ear infection due to the lack of service and routine appoints with a LICENSED hearing care professional

It is important not to confuse standard hearing aids with over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. Hearing aids require a professional evaluation and prescription, just like your eyeglasses.
