Nuheara Announces HP Hearing PRO Now Available through Fuel Medical Member Clinics

Australia-based Nuheara has announced its HP Hearing PRO self-fitting over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid is now available through Fuel Medical's member clinics in the United States. Fuel Medical’s 3000+ Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) and audiology practices, university medical clinics, and hospital-based clinics will be able to offer Nuheara’s HP Hearing PRO throughout the US for a recommended retail price of $699.00.

The HP Hearing PRO is an OTC hearing aid branded by Hewlett-Packard that was developed by Nuheara. HearingTracker recently listed it as one of the top-4 best OTC hearing aids on the market for 2023. The PRO reportedly provides 30% better speech understanding in noise using directional microphones, and features active noise cancellation, Bluetooth streaming for music and phone calls, premium sound quality, and a durable pocket-size recharging case. It comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

Fuel Medical, headquartered in Camus, Wash, is a leading business advisory company serving audiology and ENT practices across the nation.

“I’ve worked with Fuel Medical’s founders and management team for over 25 years and know they will be successful with their member’s integrating the HP Hearing PRO and OTC hearing aids as hearing solution options to their patients who have a mild-to-moderate hearing loss and looking for a pair of self-fitting hearing aids under $700,” said Nuheara US CEO John Luna in a press statement. “Nuheara’s technology and retail experience along with a medical practice point of distribution builds on our omnichannel strategy for both unassisted and assisted sales opportunities for the HP Hearing PRO.”

According to Nuheara, the HP Hearing PRO was the first product cleared through the FDA’s 510(k) process for both 874.3325 self-fitting and the 800.30 OTC hearing aid classifications under a new product classification code “QUH.” The HP Hearing PRO is also a CES^® 2023 Innovation Awards Honoree.

“Fuel Medical and Nuheara began working together 3 years ago in anticipation of the FDA over-the-counter regulation changes,” says company Co-founder and Managing Director Justin Miller. “With the OTC hearing aid retail opportunity now in place, and our HP Hearing PRO product launched last month, I am delighted that we are able to work together to offer Fuel’s member clinics our FDA cleared self-fitting OTC hearing aid.”

Fuel Medical Co-founder Shawn Parker agreed: “Fuel chose to partner with Nuheara because the HP Hearing PRO is at the forefront of providing quality amplification in the developing over-the-counter hearing device segment of our industry. We are excited to help Nuheara bring the new HP Hearing PRO product to our member practices for their patients in need of an over-the-counter hearing solution.”
