Hearing Aids Market – Segmentation
- The prevalence of hearing loss across the globe is a major factor contributing to the growth of behind the ear (BTE) segment. These devices offer durability and can easily fit with thin tubing, leaving the ear canal open to natural sounds. Therefore, these models offer a wide range of safety, efficacy, and flexibility to users with mild, moderate, and major hearing loss, which is increasing adoption.
- The growth in the sensorineural hearing loss patient population and the availability of a wide range of advanced BTE and ITE hearing aids are increasing the prevalence of hearing aids across the globe. With the growth in the aging population, which is at a high risk of developing sensorineural hearing loss, the segment is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period.
- Digital hearing devices hold sway in the global hearing aids market. These devices constitute over 90% of the market share and are expected to dominate during the forecast period. Owing to the increasing demand for invisible, advanced features, and aesthetically appealing devices as well as the rising need for the advanced and enhanced listening experience, major market players are focusing on introducing technologically advanced digital hearing aids.

Hearing Aids Market – Geography
The major revenue contributors in the APAC region were Japan, China, Australia, South Korea, and India. The low treatment-seeking population, mainly due to social stigma in selected counties, low awareness and comparatively less access to healthcare services, especially in developing countries, are few factors that limit hearing aids to gain utmost potential in this region. However, factors such as high disease prevalence with the growing geriatric population, improvement in healthcare spending, increase in awareness for the latest treatment option are projected to fuel the growth of the hearing aids market in the region.
