So apparently it was approved but ...

>A spokesperson for Ontario's Ministry of Health said that prescribing hearing aids is restricted to licensed audiologists and physicians. "Should the AirPods Pro 2 be sold in Ontario as a hearing aid," said the spokesperson, "it would need to be done in accordance with the requirements [of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991]."

Is there something about that act that prevents "licensed audiologists and physicians" from prescribing them?

The process here isn't clear.

Maybe audiologists would make less money so they wouldn't want to do that?
