About this event
Learn more about your many new hearing aid options! As of October 2022, hearing aids are available to purchase without a prescription anywhere health devices are sold. Designed to treat mild to moderate hearing loss in adults, this new affordable option addresses two significant barriers: delaying care due to cost and perceptions that assistive devices are not helpful in treating hearing loss. During this session, Carrie Nieman, M.D., M.P.H. will discuss the pros and cons of the options available, the science behind the devices, and how to assess whether over-the-counter assistive devices are right for you. <br /><br />Dr. Nieman is an associate professor of Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and co-founder of Access HEARS, a nonprofit committed to the delivery of affordable, accessible hearing care.<br /><br />Organized by Friendship Heights Neighbors Network in collaboration with Little Falls Village, and Johns Hopkins Medicine.<br /><br />Register through Johns Hopkins Medicine:<br /><br />CLICK HERE TO REGISTER<br />https://jhjhm.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEofuiqqTssHtaZjpRO5EYn4T_emjnXW_Pu
