The global hearing amplifiers market was valued at $80.66 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $123.81 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021 to 2030.
Hearing amplifiers or personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), are wearable devices that use a microphone to pick up nearby sounds. They then process this sound and deliver it to a person’s ear at a louder volume. They amplify sound waves for those who have normal hearing, or hearing thresholds of 20 dB or better in both ears. Unlike hearing aids, hearing amplifiers are not personalized for each user or clinically prescribed, but offer a number of customization settings and potential mobile app integration.
A person does not need a prescription to purchase a hearing amplifier. However, manufacturers do not make these devices for people with hearing loss. Instead, people can use hearing amplifiers to hear certain sounds more clearly, such as while hunting or bird watching. Hearing amplifiers are affordable, and can help in mild cases.
Rising geriatric population, increasing incidences of hearing impairments creating a patient pool, availability of affordable hearing amplifiers are the factors contributing to the market growth. The advancements in the medical field and reduction in the cost of treatments along with use of various customizable hearing amplifier devices as per consumer needs would further surge the demand for these devices in the market. Adults in age group of 70 years and above that is 30 million Americans have reported for significant hearing loss. Recent customizations in hearing amplifiers owing to elder population consumer base improve hearing and makes sound louder and more audible by reducing disturbing external voices. WHO stated that approximately 466 million people in 2018, have hearing loss globally and majority of these people fall in the age group of 50 years and above. Therefore, increasing geriatric population would contribute to rise in the market for hearing amplifiers. Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, comes on gradually as a person gets older. It seems to run in families and may occur because of changes in the inner ear and auditory nerve. Presbycusis makes it hard for a person to tolerate loud sounds or to hear what others are saying. Age-related hearing loss usually occurs in both ears, affecting them equally. The loss is gradual, so someone with presbycusis may not realize that he or she has lost some of his or her ability to hear. These factors are expected to propel the growth of the hearing amplifiers market.
Recent developments in hearing amplifiers have enabled several user friendly features providing innovative solutions and better applicability. As the level of technology is increasing, the digital hearing amplifiers are becoming more automatic and have more features to help the patients in communicating during difficult listening situations. New technologies translate to higher price points for hearing aids and greater benefits. New additional features include, improved frequency response, use of artificial intelligence, upgrade in the basic hearing amplifiers and wireless hearing amplifiers
The hearing amplifiers usually come in a one size fits all design. Hearing amplifiers work by amplifying every sound without differentiation. As such, they can’t crystalize nearby sounds or isolate specific sound frequencies. Hearing amplifiers can help people without hearing loss hear faraway sounds more easily. They may also be a good first step to hearing aids for some people with mild hearing loss. Hearing amplifiers are good for quieter environments where people want to increase their hearing range or extent, and less great in crowded, noisy areas like restaurants and conferences. Rising prevalence of hearing impairment cases and increasing geriatric population, favorable regulatory scenarios, are foremost factors driving the market growth over the forecast period. Along with this, presence of key players and regular launch of new products that ensure effective care for hearing impaired people are certain aspects that will fuel hearing amplifiers industry growth.
The major companies profiled in the report include Beurer GmbH, Etymotic Research, Inc., Innerscope Hearing Technologies, Inc., IntriCon Corporation, Sound World Solutions, Otofonix Hearing Solutions, MD Hearing Aid, Cochlear Limited, Eargo, Inc., and Starkey Hearing Technologies.
