Hi dbussone, I am aware that they sell on line and also aware that they have to be adjusted to fit each person's need. it would seem that since drug stores are getting into the minute clinics that they could adapt for an audio test to match your purchase. I am one of those shoppers that still prefers touching seeing etc merchandise......too much of "it use to cost $495 but today only you can get it for $19.95 and heck today we are really being generous and you can get two for $19.95.............

If my recollection is correct there is only one American hearing aid manufacturer (Starkey). Clearly OTC purchases are a threat too many in this field and they will continue to barricade OTC...but like glasses its going to cave
