Audiometric Screening Equipment Global Market Report 2025

The audiometric screening equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.61 billion in 2024 to $1.73 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the rising incidence of hearing loss, an expanding elderly population, increased awareness of the importance of early hearing evaluation, growing demand for hearing screening programs in schools, and the implementation of stricter regulations regarding occupational noise exposure.

The audiometric screening equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to the increasing adoption of tele-audiology solutions, rising demand for portable audiometric devices, the expansion of healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets, and growing government initiatives supporting hearing care. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in wireless audiometric technology, enhanced integration of cloud-based data management systems, innovations in portable and user-friendly screening equipment, improvements in noise reduction and calibration capabilities, and the development of highly customized pediatric audiometric tools.

The increasing prevalence of hearing disorders is expected to drive the growth of the audiometric screening equipment market in the coming years. Hearing disorders are conditions that affect an individual’s ability to effectively perceive, process, or interpret sounds. The surge in such disorders is primarily attributed to aging populations and heightened exposure to noise pollution, resulting in a rising demand for hearing care solutions. Audiometric screening equipment plays a crucial role in identifying the prevalence of hearing issues by facilitating fast and accurate detection of hearing loss across large groups. For example, in March 2024, the European Federation of Hard of Hearing People, a Belgium-based non-governmental organization, reported that approximately 59 million Europeans experience hearing loss that impairs daily communication, with 20.7% of those affected being 65 years or older. Hence, the growing prevalence of hearing disorders is fueling the expansion of the audiometric screening equipment market.

Leading companies in the audiometric screening equipment market are prioritizing the development of advanced technological solutions, such as precise hearing assessments, to boost diagnostic accuracy, enhance patient outcomes, and optimize clinical workflows. Precise hearing assessments involve thorough and accurate evaluations of an individual’s hearing ability across a range of frequencies and sound intensities. For example, in September 2024, AURITEC, a medical equipment manufacturer based in Germany, introduced the AT2000 audiometry platform. This innovative device features a sophisticated multichannel audiometer that delivers exceptionally accurate hearing evaluations. It also incorporates advanced testing techniques to improve diagnostic precision and is equipped with modern features tailored to meet the evolving demands of contemporary audiology.

In September 2024, inHearing Technology Inc., a subsidiary of Huizhou Jinghao Medical - a China-based hearing aid manufacturer - acquired the hearing health business of Intricon Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to bolster inHearing's research and development capabilities, support global expansion, and reinforce its presence in the over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid market. Intricon Corporation, a U.S.-based micromedical device manufacturer, contributes to the audiometric screening equipment sector by developing advanced components and technologies.

Audiometric screening equipment is utilized to assess an individual's hearing capabilities, most commonly through pure-tone audiometry examinations. This equipment comprises tools like audiometers and headphones, which are specifically designed to identify hearing loss or impairment. The main goal is to detect hearing problems at an early stage, allowing for timely medical intervention or further diagnostic evaluation.

The primary categories of audiometric screening equipment consist of pure-tone audiometers, tympanometers, otoacoustic emissions (OAE) devices, hearing screening systems, and portable or handheld audiometers. Pure-tone audiometers are instruments that assess a person’s hearing sensitivity by emitting tones at varying frequencies and volume levels. The technologies employed include analog, digital, and hybrid audiometers, as well as software-driven audiometric systems and tele-audiometry options. These are used for routine screenings, diagnostic evaluations, research studies, occupational hearing assessments, and pediatric audiometry. Key users include hospitals and clinics, diagnostic labs, educational organizations, hearing aid producers, and research facilities.
