Hearing loss can<\/span> happen at any age\u2014including birth\u2014but it\u2019s most common among older adults. Data shows<\/a> that\u00a0about a third of people 65 and older have age-related hearing loss, jumping to 50 percent after age 75. For these individuals, a hearing aid<\/a> can significantly enhance their quality of life, allowing them to fully engage in social activities or talk freely on the phone.<\/p>\n

Until 2022, when the US Food and Drug Administration green-lit over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids<\/a>, seniors could only get hearing aids prescribed by a doctor. The FDA\u2019s approval of OTC devices opened the door to increased access and lower costs, and today there are more styles available than ever. For many seniors, behind-the-ear (BTE) devices are popular, though in-the-ear (ITE) models are excellent choices for those who want a more discreet option and can maneuver them without dexterity challenges. Based on our testing, the Jabra Enhance Select 300<\/a> tops our list for its sound quality, high level of customer service, and ease of use. Here\u2019s our full list of hearing aids for seniors, including over-the-counter and prescription devices, all expert-tested and approved.<\/p>\n
