Over-the-counter hearing aids on: March 11, 2026, 09:04:36 pm #1 MS can affect a person's hearing, and OTC hearing aids are apparently a good (and far less costly) option if your hearing loss is mild to moderate. I haven't tried this type of aid but would strongly recommend getting a hearing aid of some kind before too much time passes if you've been told you would benefit from it. It takes a while to adjust to hearing aids, and the older you are, the harder it is to make that adjustment.From Consumer Reports (February 11. 2026):Are Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids Right for You?
