Regulatory Requirements for Hearing Aid Devices and Personal Sound Amplification Products; Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Availability
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of the draft guidance entitled ``Regulatory Requirements for Hearing Aid Devices and Personal Sound Amplification Products.'' The FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (FDARA) directed FDA to update and finalize the draft guidance entitled ``Regulatory Requirements for Hearing Aid Devices and Personal Sound Amplification Products,'' issued on November 7, 2013. Therefore, FDA is issuing this updated draft guidance, which supersedes the November 7, 2013, draft guidance. This updated draft guidance is intended to describe hearing aids, personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), their respective intended uses, and the regulatory requirements that apply to these products. This draft guidance is not final nor is it in effect at this time.

Department of Health and Human Services Proposed Repeal of HHS Rules on Guidance, Enforcement, and Adjudication Procedures

Medical Devices; Ear, Nose, and Throat Devices; Establishing Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we, or the Agency) is proposing to establish a regulatory category for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids and to make related amendments to update the regulatory framework for hearing aids. Specifically, we propose to define OTC hearing aids and establish applicable requirements; amend existing rules for consistency with a new OTC category; repeal the conditions for sale applicable to hearing aids; amend the existing labeling requirements for hearing aids; and update regulations relating to decisions on applications for exemption from Federal preemption that would become obsolete as a result of changes to the hearing aid requirements. This action, if finalized, would more clearly define prescription hearing aids; however, it would not change the classification of existing device types. In creating a regulatory category for OTC hearing aids and amending existing rules, we intend to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for these devices as well as foster access to, and innovation in, hearing aid technology, thereby protecting and promoting the public health.
