    • Overview

      Professor Pete’s family has suffered from hearing loss for many generations. His great grandfather used a “hearing horn”,  and his grandpa wore a large hearing aid he carried in his shirt pocket. His father had a behind the ear hearing aid, and Pete has used a receiver-in-canal hearing aid since 2014. Now that hearing aids are approved for OTC use, fellow pharmacists and technicians can use his many years of experience dealing with hearing loss. This presentation covers earwax accumulation, tinnitus, voiced and unvoiced letters, the McGurk effect, and the six types of hearing aids that are FDA approved.  Professor Pete also covers the screening questions necessary to help patients see if they are candidates to purchase hearing aids without consulting an audiologist.
