Ear's a Great Deal, You Can Now Shop Bose and HearX Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids at Walmart!
If you’ve wanted to get a hearing aid for yourself or a loved one but have been unable to afford the high cost, we have good news—there is now a range of FDA-approved hearing aids available at a much lower price than you would have paid for these devices in the past, and you may be able to find them at your local Walmart.
The retail giant has announced that, starting this week, they will be selling an assortment of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids from trusted brands at a more affordable price range. For the first time, customers aged 18 and older with mild-to-moderate hearing loss can buy a hearing aid at Walmart without a medical exam or fitting adjustment needed by an audiologist, which can help further increase the savings.

This development follows a move by the FDA this summer that finalized a rule establishing a new category of OTC hearing aids that customers can buy without a medical exam or audiologist fitting.
The OTC hearing aids at Walmart will range in price from $199 to $999 per pair. Some models are already available on the Walmart website, at Walmart Vision Centers in certain states, and at hundreds of Sam's Club Hearing Aid Center locations, with availability expanding to many additional Walmart locations nationwide in the near future.
Here are the best OTC hearing aids currently available at Walmart. (Keep an eye on the Walmart website or check your local stores, as more models are likely to be added soon.)
