Thank you for the great question, HearingHelp! OTC hearing aids are regulated by the FDA, which set limits on the volume output for consumer safety. Currently they are only for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. I'm sorry to hear that your father is struggling. It would might be best to talk to a hearing care professional at the VA or in the private sector to determine what options might best meet his needs. I wish him the best on his hearing healthcare journey! Regards, Erin
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is not a question for someone who owns them, but for the manufacturer. These don’t do anything for tinnitus, though.
