3. Mail-Order Hearing Aids: What Could Possibly Go Wrong? (Spoiler: A Lot)

This episode gets a little spicy! We’re talking about a controversial bill that nearly allowed online companies to sell mail-order prescription hearing aids in Florida. Yep, without the in-person hearing evaluations or real-ear measurements that actually make hearing aids work properly.

Jaysee breaks down why that could have been a disaster for patients, and how hearing care pros across the state teamed up to help lawmakers understand the risks. The good news? As of July 2025, the bill didn’t pass, and prescription hearing aids still require professional care in Florida.

Grab your favorite drink and tune in to hear how advocacy and a little noise from the hearing health community made all the difference. You won’t want to miss this one!
