Some things need to be over-regulated, like food (making sure companies don't put bad things in it or lie about what they're selling), or anything common for the matter. Some things ehh...like experimental drugs, which some argue need to be well-tested, but the alternative for some is dying or living in constant pain (personally, I think people should be able to sign up for anything as long as its, beyond doubt, under their own choice and they're fully aware of potential consequences)

I just don't see the reason to regulate hearing aids. It's not like they'll blow up in your ear or translate people's everyday conversations into conspiracy theories, and hearing aids which don't work well are better than none at all.
