The Global Hearing Aid Market size is estimated to grow by USD 3,652.5 million at a CAGR of 7.24% between 2022 and 2027.
The global rise in number of patients with hearing loss is a major factor driving the market growth. The incidences and prevalence of hearing loss are increasing significantly across geographies around the world. For instance, according to the latest data stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in June 2020, around 6,500 infants in the US were born with permanent hearing loss in 2017. The practice of exposing the eardrum to loud music is another factor causing hearing problems among the younger generation. Loud noise during drilling and dismantling operations can lead to hearing problems for construction workers. People working in high-decibel environments such as airports or ordnance factories are also expected to suffer from hearing loss due to overexposure to loud noise. These are some of the factors that increase the chances of hearing loss among people and that's why people require hearing aid therapies.

The hearing devices segment was valued at USD 5,509.18 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. During the forecast period, BTE hearing aids are likely to gain higher popularity in the market than other hearing devices, as they are ideal for most people with hearing problems. These reduce the problem of feedback due to the greater distance between the receiver and the microphone. BTE is also widely used for children, as it fits easily into their ears. It can also accommodate various earmold types, which need to be replaced as the child grows. This is expected to increase the demand for BTE hearing aids during the forecast period. One of the major problems with the use of hearing devices is the need for the replacement of earmolds or earbuds every 2-4 years to preserve the acoustic seal on the earmolds. In certain types of hearing devices, earmolds need regular re-tubbing to maintain optimum sound quality. This is likely to incur additional costs for end-users of hearing devices. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the hearing devices segment of the global market during the forecast period.
The adult patients segment is projected to show the highest growth due to the increasing prevalence of hearing loss in this population. Hearing loss is a significant issue among older adults, often caused by age-related factors or earwax blockage in the middle ear. It impairs communication and can lead to dementia and depression if left untreated. Hearing aids offer an effective solution, but only a small portion of adults over 50 use them. CIC and ITC hearing aids are commonly used and can improve mild to moderate hearing loss. Vendors like Oticon are focusing on super-powered hearing aids for adults. These advancements are expected to drive market growth.

Europe is estimated to contribute 35% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers will shape the market during the forecast period.
In terms of revenue, Europe is expected to witness significant growth in the global market during the forecast period. Market growth is driven by factors such as the rise in the aging population and the prevalence of hearing loss in the region. Age-related changes in the peripheral and central auditory systems lead to hearing impairment.
The risk of developing problems related to hearing loss is more prevalent among the geriatric population in countries across Europe. Therefore, the rise in the geriatric population in Europe will increase the demand for all kinds of hearing aids, including hearing implants and hearing devices, which will consequently fuel market growth. The rise in the prevalence of hearing loss across the region is also attributed to higher levels of noise pollution. These factors have led to an increase in the use of hearing aids among people with self-reported hearing loss in Europe.
Furthermore, several new products are being launched in the market, which includes SONNET 2 and fitting software named MAESTRO 8 by MED-EL. The increase in the availability of such devices is expected to fuel the market's growth in Europe. Additionally, a rise in collaborations by vendors of hearing aids with various technology providers to produce advanced hearing aids has been witnessed in the region. For instance, in January 2020, an Australia-based company named Attune Hearing Pty Ltd was acquired by a Spanish firm named Amplifon SpA. Europe also witnesses the high adoption of binaural hearing aids due to the increasing prevalence of people suffering from hearing loss in both ears. The rise in the adoption of binaural hearing aids is expected to fuel market growth. Hence, these factors will boost the market growth in Europe during the forecast period.
The hearing aids market in the region witnessed slow growth in 2020 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in 2021, due to the introduction of various COVID-19 vaccines and large-scale vaccination drives, manufacturers globally resumed the production of hearing aids with stringent social distancing norms. The increasing availability of a wide variety of hearing aids, the increasing acceptance of cochlear implants and bone-anchored hearing aids among consumers, and the growing focus of vendors on manufacturing technologically advanced hearing aids are the major factors that are expected to lead to the recovery and stabilization of the market in Europe during the forecast period.

The growth in the use of binaural hearing aids is notably driving the hearing aids market growth. Binaural hearing aids are mainly used by people who have bilateral hearing loss, which refers to hearing loss in both ears. The use of binaural hearing aids helps an individual with a hearing disability to hear naturally. These hearing aids offer better hearing from all directions and are more efficient than single hearing aids. It aids to facilitate a clear understanding of sounds, even in noisy environments. This device provides a wider hearing range, improved sound identification, and a better understanding of speech by selective listening. It keeps both ears active, resulting in less hearing loss deterioration, besides offering balanced hearing and comfort in cases of loud noise.
Primarily, the aging population suffers from Tinnitus, a symptom of an underlying condition such as age-related hearing loss, a disorder of the circulatory system, or an ear injury. Tinnitus is a perception of a ringing noise in the ear. The use of binaural hearing aids helps in reducing Tinnitus among people. Additionally, in certain cases, users of cochlear implants experience residual hearing in their non-implant ears. Binaural hearing aids can be used as an effective solution to this. Therefore, the rise in the application of binaural hearing aids is expected to fuel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The growth of the internet of things (IoT)-integrated devices with additional features are emerging trends in the hearing aids market. The global market is witnessing a growing demand for IoT-integrated devices. Advanced features such as biometrics analysis, smartphone connectivity, RFID sensors, and voice search options have emerged as top trending features across the healthcare industry. The growing popularity of smartphones has enabled users from all industries to opt for devices that can be easily connected to their smartphones. Smartphone connectivity provides users with better monitoring capabilities and enhanced connectivity. For instance, an IoT-integrated hearing aid device could easily establish a connection with a smartphone via Bluetooth, which transmits the sound directly to the earpiece. Such features eliminate the need for extra earphones.
Furthermore, a few additional features like noise reduction capability, data capture, and automatic adjustment are preferred by users. Companies are, therefore, focusing on developing devices with such features. For instance, in March 2019, Sonova and Semtech Corporation developed an advanced radio system that features an IC as the main component, enabling support for multiple radio protocols in the 2.4-GHz band. This new chip operates efficiently even at low power. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The prevalence of substitutes for hearing aids is a major challenge impeding the hearing aids market growth. Hearing aids can be substituted by devices such as smart earbuds. These are wireless in-ear smart devices that provide additional features beyond the transmission of sound. Smart earbuds are equipped with integrated microphones and a power source and include smart ambient noise control. These devices are operated based on digital signal processing (DSP) and offer a variety of benefits over traditional hearing aids.
These earbuds are widely used by consumers for noise cancellation, workout monitoring, ensuring audio quality during phone calls, and other applications. They also use Bluetooth for synchronizing with tablets, PCs, smartphones, and smart home systems. By synchronizing smart earbuds with these devices, users can listen to the news, stream music, listen to messages, and other applications. Some vendors are also offering smart earbuds with gesture recognition. Therefore, the availability of such devices with advanced technologies might reduce the demand for hearing aids during the forecast period, thereby affecting the growth of the global market.
