Most people who try OTC hearing aids haven’t taken a hearing test yet.
So the device needs to work right away — comfortably and safely.
So the device needs to work right away — comfortably and safely.
That means:
· Supporting the most common hearing loss patterns
· Sounding clear and natural as soon as you put it on
· Avoiding over-amplification and whistling
Research from NIH and WHO shows that over 70% of mild-to-moderate hearing loss is high-frequency sloping — especially in older adults.
In other words, most people lose higher-pitched sounds first, like consonants in speech.
In other words, most people lose higher-pitched sounds first, like consonants in speech.
A clinical analysis of 3,650 hearing-related cases found a consistent trend in users aged 41–70:
· Sloping > Flat > U-Shaped > Other Types > Rising
· And the prevalence of sloping hearing loss increases with age.
This is why most OTC hearing aids use a sloped hearing loss model as their default sound compensation.
