OTC or over-the-counter hearing aids are a relatively new category of products that offer accessible, affordable access to the aforementioned technology. Usually, hearing aids are expensive and only available through a prescription. That’s no longer the case, especially with Sony’s OTC self-fitting hearing aids. They feature replaceable batteries that offer all-day hearing clarity blending modern technology and comfort to ensure you can adapt to your surroundings. Get prescription-grade sound quality via FDA-cleared OTC hearing aids that analyze and optimize sound based on your environment. Here’s the best part, today they’re $100 off at Best Buy. Normally $800, grab them for $700.

Why you should shop these Sony OTC self-fitting hearing aids at Best Buy

The discreet, earbud-style Sony hearing aids offer everyday clarity and balance. If you must know the model number, these are the Sony CRE-C10. They fit comfortably inside the ear canal, offering prescription-grade sound quality. The settings are fully adjustable within the Sony hearing control app, as well. But there’s one major difference between the CRE-C10 and the CRE-E10. The former has traditional size 10 batteries offering up to 70 hours of continuous use. When the batteries die, you can simply replace them.

In the box, you get a jewel-carrying case, six sizes 10 batteries — meaning plenty to spare — click sleeves in four sizes, and care tools including a brush to clean them. The pack of replaceable batteries ensures you have plenty of replacements when the time comes to swap them out. Meanwhile, that jewel case gives you somewhere safe to store them if and when you’re not wearing them. That’s a great thing since these hearing aids are pretty darn small.

With the Sony hearing control app, you can personalize the sound they provide. But even if you don’t, they automatically analyze and optimize sounds based on your surroundings. So, if there’s a lot of background noise, they’ll make sure you can still listen to conversations with friends and family. Thanks to Ear-to-Ear Wireless Link technology, they work in tandem to reduce noise and improve hearing of the sounds you want to pick up.

Normally $800, you can buy them today for just $700 which saves you $100. We’re not sure how long that deal is going to last, however, so don’t wait too long if you’re interested.
