A hearing aid is considered a medical device. It is designed to help people who are facing the issue of hearing loss. By setting up some frequency, it made sounds audible to the person. These hearing aids need to follow some respective regulations.
There is also a requirement of data tracking and traceability on these hearing aids as these need to be in human contact, and frequency needs to be set differently for everyone. So it makes it necessary to have a UDI marking on it
The person with hearing loss will wear this hearing aid the whole day, which means it will be in human skin contact and have to deal with water and sweat.
So printing a QR code or printing your brand logo is not a good option, and day by day, decreasing the size of these hearing aids makes it difficult for companies to print logo and paste label of UDI code on it.
