There are 2 types of OTC hearing aids that will perform better in different situations:
Situational
Need help hearing in specific situations, like a noisy restaurant? Situational use style hearing aids are meant to be worn as needed and are designed to help people hear better in difficult listening situations. Often these come in earbud style, making them simple to put in and take out.
All-day use
Looking for a hearing boost throughout the day? All-day use style hearing aids have flexible technology to help in multiple situations, from one-on-one conversations to large group settings. Often these come in a style that sits behind the ear to make them more comfortable for extended wear.
