October 18, 2022 by Jeff Lewis

U.S. retailers started selling hearing aids over-the-counter yesterday thanks to a recent ruling from the FDA. Last August they permitted over-the-counter sales for adults over 18 who have mild to moderate hearing loss. Those with severe hearing loss and kids still need prescriptions. Dr. Jeffrey Shannon of Hudson Valley Audiology in Pomona and Goshen says they may be a good option for folks looking for an economical solution…

Dr. Shannon emphasizes the OTC aids don’t include audiology services, and they aren’t customized for an individual’s very specific needs. A local hearing specialist is hosting a free seminar tomorrow in-person and online for people with questions about these and other hearing issues. Lou Morris of the local AARP chapter says you must have been COVID-19 vaccinated to attend the meeting in-person…

The seminar is taking place at the JCCY in West Nyack on Wednesday at 12:30. You can also access the seminar via Zoom, we have the login information in this news article on our website. If you can’t make it to the JCCY event, you can also speak with Dr. Shannon the first Monday of each month when he hosts “Listen Up Rockland” right here on WRCR and WRCR.com.
