Hearing Aids Market: Introduction

A hearing aid is tiny electronic equipment that is worn behind the ear for increasing the frequency of the sound. It is a battery powered instrument that is designed for enhancing the hearing ability.  A hearing aid comprises of three parts including microphone, speaker, and amplifier. For instance, hearing aid receives the sound waves via microphone which it sends to amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the sound and sends it to the receiver which transports it to the ear. The hearing aids are utilized by the people who have damaged inner ear due to aging, ailment, loud noise, and medicines.       

Hearing aids help a person with hearing loss, by making sound audible for them. Today, the most common issues faced by the population with hearing impairment are hearing in wind and hearing speech in an extremely noisy environment. However, earlier devices are switched with modern hearing aids that are more compact and easy-to-use. New technologies are being introduced in the market, which offers natural quality sound without disturbance. Next-generation hearing aids are being developed in order to tackle common problems faced by current hearing aid devices. Hearing aids today come with smart sensors that offer more convenience to the users. Wireless hearing aids developed by many companies are gaining traction in the hearing aids market.

As per the WHO stats, nearly 7-8% of the population is suffering from hearing impairment. Besides, almost 20% of the adult and geriatric population is affected by hearing loss, the majority of which is found in less developed countries. This inability to communicate with others is leading to feelings of loneliness, frustration, and social exclusion among the aged population. To curtail the unmet demand for these devices, the manufacturers in the hearing aids market are developing devices that can be inserted in the ear, thus, making them invisible to overcome the social stigma linked with such devices. Manufacturers in the hearing aids market are involved in new product development. For instance, Bluetooth connectivity features in hearing aid devices are helping the users to have a better quality of life. Furthermore, the introduction of digital signal processing has also revolutionized the hearing aids market. Furthermore, technological developments like speech enhancement and digital noise reduction are further likely to facilitate this market’s growth globally.

Hearing Aids Market: Growth Dynamics

Growing incidences of hearing loss, surge in aging populace, and technological breakthroughs will prompt the expansion of hearing aids industry over the forthcoming years. In addition to this, massive utilization of lithium-ion batteries in the hearing aids will further drive the market trends. With the launching of 3D printing systems in hearing aid production, the market for hearing aids is likely to gain traction over the forthcoming years. Nonetheless, hearing aids can lead to problems like moisture & ear wax problems, faulty feedback, and not best-fit size for an individual or one-size fits all problems. All these aspects can impede the market growth over the ensuing years.

Furthermore, growing health awareness and improvement in the healthcare facilities in developing countries along with high focus on early diagnosis of deafness in individuals is predicted to translate into huge growth of the market over the forthcoming years. Moreover, large amount of subsidies and incentives are offered by governments globally for preventing & managing hearing disorders and this will further culminate into humongous market expansion over the coming decade.
