Overview
The last decade has seen a flurry of activity in the US hearing healthcare marketplace. A result of this activity is a pending new category of over-the-counter hearing healthcare products exempt from state dispensing laws. The future marketplace for OTC hearing healthcare products will be unlike those of traditional consumer products or clinical care, and both existing marketing may need to evolve to accommodate it. There is much excitement and uncertainty. We asked Kevin Franck, a veteran of both medical and consumer product companies to share his insights and to convene a panel who will share theirs.
