InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc., a manufacturer and direct-to-consumer distributor/retailer of FDA-registered hearing aids, personal sound amplifiers, hearing related treatment therapies, doctor-formulated dietary hearing supplements and proprietary CBD oil, has entered into an agreement with Pursuant Health Inc. to launch its Hearing Loss Information Center to all of Pursuant Health's self-service wellness screening kiosks located inside 4,618 Walmart and Walmart Neighborhood Market locations nationwide by June 2020, according to a press release.

InnerScope's Hearing Loss Information Center will encourage Walmart customers to take immediate action for treating their hearing loss by either being referred locally to a contracted hearing healthcare professional, or by directly purchasing one of InnerScope's hearing products. 

Prior to the Over the Counter Hearing Aid Act going into effect, InnerScope plans to utilize Pursuant Health's wellness screening kiosks to conduct a hearing loss awareness marketing campaign.

The Over the Counter Hearing Aid Act was designed to enable adults with perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss to access over the counter hearing aids without being seen by a hearing care professional. The new law, which was sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, comes on the heels of the elimination of the "physician waiver" system, which had required consumers first to seek a physician for a medical evaluation or sign a waiver prior to obtaining a hearing aid.
