People in the US will be able to buy some hearing aids directly from the store or online without needing a custom fitting by an audiologist, due to a rule change announced by the FDA.

He believes that if companies can sell earbuds for $200, they could easily sell hearing aids for a similar price. The new rule is a good thing for patients, he said, because it shows the government can take action that improves health. "This was a true bipartisanship. This is how government should work," Lin said."This really, really restores my faith in government."
