ROSEVILLE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND) ("InnerScope"), an emerging and disruptive leader in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing space is pleased to announce the launch of its new line of affordable Over-the-Counter ("OTC") rechargeable hearing aids for its iHEAR brand which includes app-controlled models with full wireless audio streaming of music and hands-free phone calling ("iHEAR OTC Hearing Aids"). The launch of iHEAR OTC Hearing Aids coincides with the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") finalizing the rule that started on October 17, 2022, which allows OTC hearing aids to be sold online and in major retail stores and pharmacy chains without a prescription or a need to see a medical or hearing professional from the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017.  

InnerScope, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary HearingAssist has been a leader in the direct-to-consumer hearing space since 2008, with nearly 500,000 customers. As a result, InnerScope is confident that it is in a prime position for this new emerging OTC hearing aid market, beginning with the launch of iHEAR OTC Hearing Aids and its well-established wholesale distribution network of major retailers and pharmacy chains.

InnerScope initially launched iHEAR OTC Hearing Aids with two model types and four levels of technology. The model types and levels of technology are for the individual to choose based on their lifestyle and current or desired listening environments. Prices range from $499.99 to $999.99. InnerScope has begun shipping the iHEAR OTC Hearing Aids to its wholesale distribution network of major retailers and pharmacy chains.

"We designed these models and technology features in iHEAR's new OTC Hearing Aids for all different or desired lifestyles and individual hearing needs,” said Matthew Moore, President and CEO of InnerScope Hearing Technologies. "For example, the Premium Technology is for someone often in challenging listening environments, i.e., parties, large gatherings, and sporting events. The Advance Technology is for more moderate listening environments, i.e., restaurants, attending meetings, or religious services. The Essential Technology is for low-noise environments, i.e., family conversations around the dinner table. Our team of R&D engineers and our technology partners worldwide are continuing to develop new next-generation OTC hearing aids with voice-activated AI smart technology for the 48+ million Americans who are reported to have untreated hearing loss but could never afford the high cost of traditional prescription hearing aids."
