Online shopping is more popular than ever. When it comes to your hearing health, this is a bad idea: attempting to find a solution for your hearing loss without consulting a trained hearing professional<\/a> is risky to your health, according to the FDA. You may save a few dollars up front, but keep in mind there are many different factors that contribute to hearing loss<\/a>. Unless you know what is causing yours, you could be ignoring a serious medical issue. In addition, over-the-counter generic hearing devices<\/a> and those purchased on the Internet often provide little improvement in hearing, meaning you\u2019ll be spending money without receiving any real benefit.<\/p>\n
