I cannot wait. There is such an opportunity for innovation as well. Hearing is such a psychological thing as well as physical. I had to really research on my own and bother an audiologist directly in order to tweak mine properly.
I wanted to take advantage of my hearing loss to also allow myself augmented, improved hearing for specific scenarios as well. I would love a platform that allows me to do so!
Regardless of the poor quality of the article, the relevant legislation is Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017

- wrycoder 9y agoAre you sure this legislation isn't a covert increase in regulation of hearing assit devices by the hearing instrument cartel?
- wbrenner 9y agoThere have been talks about this sort of regulatory change has been a long time coming and has been trending this way for a least a couple years (see link below). This is just the first time the hearing instrument cartel hasn't been able to beat it back. Based on my educated guess it is no coincidence that the bill was introduced by a Senator whose state shares a headquarters with Bose. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2015/10/26/%E2%80%8Bpcast-recommends-changes-promote-innovation-hearing-technologies https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2015/10/26/%E2%80%...
