OTC Hearing Aid and Hearing Self-care Symposium
NIDCD - National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders
About This Grant
PROJECT SUMMARY Over-the-counter hearing aids (OTC-HAs) have significant potential to increase the accessibility and affordabil- ity of hearing loss solutions for nearly 28 million U.S. adults. Despite hundreds of OTC-HA devices marketed to consumers, only 2% of people with hearing loss have purchased one as of 2023. One reason for the slow adoption of OTC-HAs may be the limited engagement and lack of collaboration with community pharmacists in OTC-HA device sales and hearing self-care practice models. As experts in OTC products and self-care, phar- macists are uniquely positioned to assist patients with OTC-HA devices when sold at the community phar- macy. The proposed OTC Hearing Aid and Hearing Self-Care Symposium, hosted by the University of Pitts- burgh, will continue the successful inaugural meeting in 2024 by bringing together thought leaders and practice innovators from pharmacy, audiology, public health, and OTC hearing aid device manufacturers to discuss how OTC hearing aids can increase patient access and utilization of hearing devices via hearing self-care. Our unique interprofessional approach aims to accelerate OTC-HA adoption and sustained use in the U.S. by syn- ergistically amplifying the importance of engaging pharmacists in the treatment of hearing loss.
