As part of this presentation\, sound quality and technical qualities of potential OTC devices will be discussed. Differences in hearing impairment\, receipt of hearing tests\, and use of hearing amplification devices among racial and ethnic groups in the United States also will be presented. The relative importance of physical\, economic\, and socio-cultural influences on these hearing-related outcomes will be discussed. \nLearning Outcomes:\n1. Summarize the current status of over-the-counter hearing aids and quality of current over-the-counter devices.\n2. Describe racial and ethnic differences in hearing impairment\, testing\, and device use.\n3. Discuss factors that contribute to individuals’ decisions to receive a hearing test and/use a hearing aid. \nRegister Today
