Over-The-Counter Hearing Aids: One Year Later
Happy Birthday OTC!
October is a special month for us at Lucid Hearing. It marks the one-year anniversary of a significant milestone in the world of audiology—the FDA approval of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. Since that momentous change in October 2022, we've been on a journey to bring cutting-edge hearing solutions to those who need them, hassle-free.
The Introduction of OTC Hearing Aids
In the past year, Lucid Hearing has proudly introduced several OTC hearing aids designed to cater to various needs and preferences. Our "Engage" hearing aids, in particular, have garnered awards and recognition for their exceptional performance and innovative features by names such as Forbes Health and HearAdvisor.
Backed by years of experience and research, our OTC hearing aids are built with the same standards and technological advancements we are proud to offer in our 400+ clinics nationwide.

The FDA Ruling: A Game-Changer
The FDA's decision to allow OTC hearing aids in the United States kicked off a change in how we approach hearing healthcare. By creating more awareness of options and reducing barriers to getting help, Lucid Hearing hopes to continue to reach Americans struggling with untreated hearing loss.
One of the most significant advantages of our OTC hearing aids is their affordability. With options starting at $199, we offer an economic way to take control of your hearing health and get back to participating in the life you love.
When to Consult a Specialist
It's important to note that OTC hearing aids are approved for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. If you have severe hearing loss or suspect a more complex hearing issue, we recommend consulting a Lucid Hearing specialist. Our team of experts is here to guide you through the process of finding the best hearing solution for your unique needs.

Stories of Success
"I walk in a park every day. After getting my Lucid OTC Hearing Aids, I realized that I had missed hearing the cicadas for several years. Also, I can hear when the Mailman puts mail in our mailbox. I haven't heard that for years."

"I have had hearing difficulty most of my life, and have had many people tell me to get hearing aids. I have held back due to the cost, but now the OTC Hearing Aids are very affordable and, I feel, of excellent quality comparable to the more expensive hearing aids. I am extremely happy with them."

"I can now hear my friends in a noisy restaurant and am no longer left out of the conversation. I even hear my phone ring when I’m driving my very noisy tractor."

"A friend of mine gave me a T-shirt for my birthday recently that says: "Hunh? What? " on it. Now that I have my Lucid hearing aids, I don't have to wear the shirt anymore."
