Starting today, the government is allowing pharmacies and big box stores to sell hearing aids without prescriptions. Backers of this change say the move to over-the-counter aids will start a revolution of lower prices and new technologies, while expanding access to millions of people with untreated hearing loss. The FDA has limited retail, non-prescription sales to devices designed for people 18-years and older with mild to moderate hearing loss. The devices will be available in eleven-thousand retail stores including Walgreens, Walmart and Best Buy.
