Samsung Galaxy Buds Receive FDA Clearance as OTC Hearing Aids

Samsung has received FDA clearance for its Galaxy Buds to be marketed as over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids.

This regulatory approval places the product in the same category as Apple's AirPods, allowing them to be used for hearing assistance.

The move marks a significant expansion in the medtech market for consumer audio devices designed to support individuals with hearing impairments.
