Founded in 2004, OK Biotech has long been known globally for its “OKmeter” blood glucose monitoring systems, winning trust in over 80 countries. Now, leveraging its global healthcare experience, OK Biotech is expanding into hearing technology with the launch of OKB Hearing, a premium over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid brand designed to empower people with hearing loss to reconnect with life.

With the recent deregulation of OTC hearing aids by the U.S. FDA, OK Biotech seized the opportunity to bring its medical-grade R&D and user-centered innovation to a market in urgent need of accessible, affordable, and high-quality hearing solutions. Through continuous innovation and a strong focus on everyday user needs, OKB Hearing introduces hearing aids that are not only affordable, but also elegant, intuitive, and equipped with features previously found only in professional-grade models.

Why Premium Hearing Aids Like OKB Are Worth the Investment

In the United States, hearing loss affects nearly 1 in 3 people between ages 65–74, and almost 50% of those over 75 experience disabling hearing loss. Yet despite these numbers, many older adults avoid hearing aids due to high prices, stigma, or difficulty using them. Many inexpensive devices on the market lack clarity, are prone to feedback, or are uncomfortable to wear long-term.

OKB Hearing addresses these real pain points by introducing a line of premium OTC hearing aids that emphasize not just sound amplification, but real-life usability, comfort, and clarity.

Mr. George, one of OK Biotech’s product testers, is a retired teacher who has lived with hearing loss for years. He tried multiple devices but often faced muffled sound, whistling noise, or poor voice recognition—until he found OKB Hearing. Inspired by his experience and the struggles of many others, OKB’s engineering team committed to developing a truly life-enhancing device, not just another amplifier.


Split-Design Technology That Works in Real Life

Unlike traditional hearing aids that combine the receiver and microphone into one compact unit—often leading to echo or distortion—OKB Hearing features a split-unit design. The microphone is separated from the receiver, which reduces sound feedback and improves clarity. Users can wear the main unit near sound sources (like a speaker or TV), enhancing voice pickup and reducing background interference.

Whether you're at home, in a restaurant, or participating in social events, this design helps users better distinguish speech, follow conversations, and stay engaged. It’s one of the reasons OKB Hearing is quickly becoming a top pick in the premium hearing aid category.

Intuitive Design for Seniors and Everyday Use

OKB Hearing products are especially built with older adults in mind. The devices include:

Users can easily take phone calls, stream TV shows, or listen to music—enjoying a connected lifestyle without sacrificing hearing performance.


Reconnecting You to What Matters Most

OKB Hearing understands the emotional and social toll of hearing loss. That’s why every product is designed not just for function, but for reconnection—bringing users back into conversation, back to family gatherings, back to music and laughter.
