Does it look like a duck? Does it quack like duck?
In-ear devices with speaker and mic that look like hearing aids that perform hearing aid function for those with hearing loss? Hearing aids.
Phones, that look nothing like glasses or contacts, and don't serve the same purpose? Obviously not.
Don't be silly. Judges aren't.
- nixosbestos 2y agoI really wasn't trying to be silly. I feel like other medical things in the US are regulated differently based purely on how they're marketed. How about an Apple Vision Pro with optical zoom on the exterior cameras?

Different classes of medical or medical-adjacent products in the US have to be careful how they market so they aren't making claims that they are not allowed to make, but the absence of those claims alone doesn't make a regulated device unregulated.
