Hearing Care Devices Market

Hearing Care Devices Market Research, 2030

The Hearing Care Devices Market size was valued at $7.5 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $12.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.08% from 2021 to 2030.

Hearing care devices are used to improve or restore hearing in individuals suffering from temporary or permanent hearing loss. Growth in geriatric population that is susceptible to hearing disorders, rise in prevalence of hearing loss, and increase in binaural fitting rate are expected to drive the growth of the global hearing care devices market. Moreover, rise in adoption of technically advanced hearing care devices, such as cochlear implants supplement the market growth. However, high cost of the devices and increase in drop-out rates of the patients from the treatment of hearing loss are anticipated to hamper the market growth

According to the estimates of National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), in 2021, about 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children in the U.S. are born with a detectable level of hearing loss. Increase in incidence of hearing loss and rise in pool of geriatric population contributes to the market growth.

COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the healthcare sector. Hospitals worldwide are getting filled with patients demanding urgent care, owing to which many hospitals are running out of resources. Millions of elective surgeries are being postponed or canceled to reallocate the resources to manage COVID-19 patients. This has also negatively affected the medical device sector. The demand for devices such as orthopedic implants, heart valves, intraocular lenses, and audiology diagnostics devices showcases the downward curve. This is also the case with the hearing devices market.

Hearing Care Devices Industry have witnessed several technological advancements in the recent years. The cochlear implants available in the present scenario have speech recognition in difficult listening situations, which differentiate speech in noisy and reverberant situation, understand sound from television or telephone, and identify a specific sound from distance. In addition, hearing aids feature acoustic scene classifiers, which classify and identify any sound on the basis of background noise, speech in quiet or in noise, music, wind, and number of other parameters.

Hearing Healthcare Devices restore hearing function in patients suffering from hearing loss. Some of these devices (mainly implants) are expected to restore hearing function in profoundly deaf individuals. There are two types of hearing care devices, namely, hearing aids and hearing implants.
