Summary

This study looks at whether over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, which you can buy without a doctor, work as well as prescription hearing aids for adults with mild-moderate hearing loss. The goal is to make hearing aids more accessible and affordable. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
