FDA Releases Hearing Aids Guide Online

Image via Wikipedia

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched a new website that benefits current and potential users of hearing aids, A New Online Guide to Hearing Aids.

The site includes sections on:

• general information on hearing aids
• types of hearing loss
• types and styles of hearing aids
• how to get a hearing aid
• benefits and safety of hearing aids
• hearing aids and cell phones
• other products and procedures that people can use to improve hearing

This is of interest to me as I grow older, and my siblings are showing signs that they might benefit from these devices.
