Original Note:
In 2017, Congress passed bipartisan legislation requiring the FDA to create a category of OTC hearing aids (signed by Trump), but it was not fully implemented until now. Pres Biden issued an E.O. that gave FDA a deadline to implement the law quickly, which it met. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-finalizes-historic-rule-enabling-access-over-counter-hearing-aids-millions-americans
