The in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.66 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of digital hearing aids, rising demand for wireless and smart hearing devices, a growing prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss, heightened interest in personalized health devices, and the rising affordability of hearing aids.

The increasing prevalence of hearing loss is expected to boost the growth of the in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids market. Hearing loss refers to the partial or total inability to hear sounds in one or both ears, often resulting from damage to the ear or auditory pathway. The rise in hearing loss cases is largely due to the aging population, as age-related changes in the auditory system lead to a higher incidence of hearing impairments in older adults. ITC hearing aids help manage hearing loss by offering discreet, custom-fit designs, making them ideal for daily use. These devices enhance sound clarity through advanced technology, reducing the effort required to listen and improving communication in various settings. For instance, in January 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that over 98% of U.S. newborns were screened for hearing loss in 2022, with more than 6,000 infants identified with permanent hearing loss, equating to a prevalence rate of 1.7 cases per 1,000 babies screened. Thus, the growing prevalence of hearing loss is a significant driver for the ITC hearing aids market.

Leading companies in the ITC hearing aids market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as custom in-the-ear (ITE) devices, to enhance user comfort, sound quality, and discretion. Custom ITE devices are hearing aids that are individually molded to fit the unique shape of a person’s ear canal, offering a discreet appearance and personalized comfort while delivering improved sound amplification. For example, in August 2022, Oticon A/S, a Denmark-based hearing aid manufacturer, launched Oticon Own hearing aids. These hearing aids are designed to provide a fully customized fit for ultimate comfort and feature an on-board deep neural network (DNN) that uses artificial intelligence for natural sound processing and superior speech understanding, even in noisy environments. The Oticon Own hearing aids are fully custom ITE devices, discreet, and feature advanced feedback suppression, digital noise reduction, and water- and dust-resistant designs for all-day comfort and reliability.
