Dr. Parker’s Recommendation: The best bang for your buck. These are a good option for those who want to try pre-programmed OTC hearing aids without breaking the bank. The set-up instructions are clear and relatively straightforward. They come with a free app that uses your smartphone to control the volume, noise cancellation, and up to 3 programs to help you hear better in different listening situations.
Dr. Parker’s Recommendation: These are easy to use, no fuss, no frills and cost-effective pre-programmed OTC hearing aids. They come in the most popular receiver-in-the-canal (RIC) style for OTC hearing aids on the market. The set is rechargeable and comes with a free charger. This is a good and cost-effective choice for those who want to try OTC hearing aids and don’t want all the bells and whistles.
Dr. Parker’s Recommendation: The best choice for optimal hearing in noise. Dr. Parker will pre-program a set of entry-level, traditional prescription hearing aids to perform like a set of OTC hearing aids. They will come pre-programmed to fit the most common degrees of hearing loss and will have a professional fitting option as well, in case you need custom programming to fit your individual hearing loss. They come with 3 programs for different listening situations, and the most comprehensive noise reduction options available for those who experience difficulty hearing in an environment with background noise.
Dr. Parker’s Recommendation: With all the bells and whistles, this set of high-fidelity OTC hearing aids come pre-programmed and also have self-fitting and professional fitting options. Sennheiser has an unparalleled reputation for high quality audio-electronics, and this is their newest introduction into the OTC hearing aid space. The optional customization (by an audiologist) of the hearing aid output to match your individual hearing loss is a huge plus if the pre-programming doesn’t work for you.
Dr. Parker’s Recommendation: All the bells and whistles in a thinner housing. This set of OTC hearing aids is a thinner version of Sennheiser’s All-Day OTC and would be an option for those who want an even lower profile or someone who wears eyeglasses with thick arms. Otherwise, the devices are identical.
Dr. Parker’s Recommendation: Lowest profile (virtually invisible) with very good features. This is a very good set of self-fitting OTC hearing aids. You take a hearing test through the app that customizes the output for your individual hearing loss, and control the hearing aid volume with the app. This is the best option if you don’t want others to see that you are wearing hearing aids.
