Changes in Audiology Visits at an Academic Audiology Practice Following the Food and Drug Administration Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Ruling
The FDA OTC hearing aid ruling did not have a meaningful impact on the volume of HAEs and CAEs at an academic audiology practice. We found a small trend toward increased volume. Future studies should investigate visit patterns in other practice models to understand the full impact of the ruling on clinical audiology practice volumes.
