InvestorNewsBreaks – InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (INND) Notes FDA Final Rule on OTC Hearing Aids

Aug 16, 2022

InnerScope Hearing Technologies (OTC: INND), an emerging and disruptive leader in the direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) hearing technology space and soon-to-be leading the way in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) hearing technology space, announced that the FDA has released its Final Rule outlining the creation of a new category of OTC hearing aids. According to the OTC Hearing Aid Law, the hearing aids are designed for perceived mild to moderate hearing losses that are to be sold directly to consumers in retail stores, pharmacies and online. The hearing devices can be sold without a medical exam and without being fitted by a hearing healthcare professional. According to the announcement, 60 days after the final rule, which will be around Oct. 16, 2022, the law will be enacted, which means that consumers will be able to purchase OTC hearing aids right off the shelf directly from retailer, including big box retailers and pharmacy chains. “We have been waiting over five years for this day to come,” said InnerScope Hearing Technologies president and CEO Matthew Moore in the press release. “The true winners of the OTC Hearing Aid Law will be the consumers that have had to struggle and live with their hearing difficulties due to the high-cost hearing aids with the current Traditional Hearing Aid Delivery Model. First, I would like to thank Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for their hard work and dedication in introducing this bipartisan Over-The-Counter Hearing Aid Act bill in 2016 and President Joe Biden for issuing an executive order to push the OTC Hearing Aid Law to be enacted finally. Second, the OTC Hearing Aid Law will open a new emerging market for hearing aids sales, potentially in the tens of billions of dollars. InnerScope, with its network of wholesale retailers, is ready when the OTC Hearing Aid Law is enacted to deliver its affordable OTC hearing aids to tens of millions of Americans.”

Does hot lemon and ginger cola really help with cold and flu symptoms?

Hot lemon and ginger cola is a uniquely Hong Kong drink. A few slices of ginger are heated in cola until boiling, then the mixture is poured into a glass and topped with a few fresh lemon slices. While some older-style restaurants or traditional Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng cafes still serve it, it is usually an off-menu item, known only to older Hongkongers. The drink is widely believed to help cure colds and flu. But does it really? The TCM perspective Ginger is a warming rhizome and a...

Style Edit: Max Mara’s new K11 Musea store gets a stunning Hong Kong skyline installation

When Angela Yuen first tried on a Max Mara coat, her instinct was to take it apart. “I found it magical how perfectly it carried any woman’s silhouette,” says the Hong Kong artist, “which made me wonder about the secrets hidden within its paper pattern.” That curiosity became Interwoven Shadows, the installation marking the opening of Max Mara’s new boutique at K11 Musea on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. On view outside the store until the end of December, it centres on a translucent acrylic...
