Hearing Aid Shopping: Audiogram Match for OTC vs Prescription

Listen for free

View show details

In this episode of Hearing Aid Shopping, we break down the biggest barriers adults face when purchasing hearing aids for themselves or a parent. From decoding audiogram results to comparing over-the-counter and prescription options, this main episode covers how return windows, Medicare Advantage rules, and device customization impact your final choice. Learn why reviewing your hearing thresholds and daily listening environments upfront prevents costly returns and mismatched devices.

Key takeaways:
- Start with your audiogram to match mild-to-severe loss patterns before considering price or ads
- Compare return policies—OTC often offers 30 days while prescription routes may extend to 60-90 days
- Call your Medicare Advantage plan to confirm coverage for devices, fittings, and ongoing service
- Request the summary of benefits document to clarify network requirements and reset timing each January
