摘要
2016年，美国国家科学、工程和医学院(NASEM)发布了一份题为“成人听力保健”的报告，详细介绍了面临的挑战，并为改善美国成年人获得负担得起的听力保健提供了建议。可以说，这份报告最重要的成果是随后在2017年通过的《非处方助听器法案》(OTC)，该法案要求美国食品和药物管理局(Food and Drug Administration)制定针对轻度至中度听力损失的一类助听器的法规，以供在柜台(OTC)销售。虽然这是朝着改善听力治疗的可及性和可负担性迈出的重要一步，但它并不代表一个完整的解决方案。事实上，优化听力损失个人的听力保健新格局也可能需要新的政策解决方案。这篇文章反映了自NASEM报告以来所取得的进展，以及仍然存在的政策问题，以提高老年人听力保健的可及性和可负担性。
A Broad Examination of Health Policy Barriers to Access and Affordability of Hearing Treatment for Medicare Beneficiaries.
In 2016, the National Academies on Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released a report titled, "Hearing Health Care for Adults," which detailed the challenges and provided recommendations for improving the access to affordable hearing care for adults in the United States. Arguably the most significant outcome from this report was the subsequent passage of the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act in 2017, which requires the Food and Drug Administration to develop regulations for a class of hearing aids that address mild to moderate hearing loss to be available for sale over the counter (OTC). While this presents an important step toward improving access and affordability of hearing treatment, it does not represent a complete solution. In fact, optimizing the new landscape of hearing care for individuals with hearing loss also may require new policy solutions. This article reflects on the progress achieved since the NASEM report and the policy issues that remain to improve accessibility and affordability of hearing care among older adults.
