20 APR 2022 · The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA)—the largest US advocacy group for people with hearing loss—has been busy working with the FDA, FTC, FCC, HHS, NIDCD, CTA, and the various professional and industry groups in hearing healthcare on virtually everything related to hearing and access issues. In this 26-minute podcast, HLAA Executive Director Barbara Kelley talks with Hearing Review Editor Karl Strom about:
•HLAA’s plans for its upcoming convention on June 23-25,
•Thoughts and concerns about the FDA’s proposed rules for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids,
•The possibility of Medicare coverage for hearing aids and related services in the near future,
•How diversity, equity, and inclusion in hearing healthcare might be improved and expanded, and
•Information about the early-2022 website launch from the Industry-Consumer Alliance for Accessible Technology (ICAAT)—a collaboration between HLAA, Gallaudet University and the American Institutes for Research—that brings together technology developers with consumers who have hearing loss to create and inspire more accessible, innovative and responsive technologies.
10 MAR 2022 · In this 35-minute podcast, well-known hearing industry audiologist Thomas Powers, PhD, and Hearing Review Editor Karl Strom talk about four noteworthy parts of the proposed OTC hearing aid regulations:
1) Output limits for these new devices;
2) The return-for-credit policies, and if consumers will have some kind of recourse if the hearing device doesn’t work for them;
3) The somewhat wonky area of 510k premarket clearance relative to “wear and go” vs “self-fitting” OTC devices, and why it could be important; and
4) One of the most confusing and potentially consequential parts of the FDA’s proposed regulations: the pre-emption of state laws and what this might actually mean for hearing care professionals, their practices, and state licensing boards.
Dr Powers also speaks to labeling issues and provides his advice about how hearing care practices and their staff members might prepare for the advent of OTC hearing aids.
