Trump signed a bill allowing OTC hearing aids way back in 2017. It's insane and maddening that the federal govt (FDA) moves so slowly that it took until 2022 for this to finally happen. I also credit Biden for getting this across the finish line.

The FDA is overloaded and underfunded unfortunately. Their focus was certainly on COVID for the past few years but I definitely hear your complaints and agree

Still hate Trump, but glad to hear he did something not sucky for a change.

The administration did some good, the clown they had tweeting and golfing did none of that... and the jokes he appointed and then fired, and then rehired, and the ones who got arrested... that's the issue we'll have to deal with for decades. Just like the last actor President.
