COVID-19 Impact

Cancellation of Non-Emergency Treatments to Degrade Market Share

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

In addition to causing a spike in the demand for medical supplies, such as hearing aids, COVID-19 also led to the postponement and cancellation of non-emergency and elective treatments. The worst-hit periods of the outbreak, during March to April 2020, had a significant financial impact on device manufacturers. By H2 2020, many of these gadget markets had already rebounded.

All things considered, the pandemic had less of an impact on other device markets, especially those that are used in vital operations in the field of cardiovascular disease. Almost all healthcare markets have recovered fully from the first significant decline in device sales caused by the pandemic by the beginning of 2021. The primary cause of the war was the COVID-19 pandemic that stopped vehicle production while driving up home electronics demand in most of the areas.

In response to the continued scarcity of semiconductor chips in most of the areas, governments and hearing device makers worldwide have increased output in an effort to prevent more shortages.

LATEST TRENDS

Behind the Ear Implant to Stimulate Market Development

With a custom-fit hearing device or a dome style that partially covers the ear canal opening, tubing slides more into the ear canal when BTE aids are positioned under or above the ear. The electronic parts are housed in a shell that is concealed behind the ear. First, the audio travels through the hearing aid and into the ear. People with moderate to serious deafness of various ages utilize BTE implants. Small casings that can slide into the ear canal entirely or partially contain hearing aids. These are the smallest hearing aids available, offering certain advantages for the eyes and ears.

• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of February 2024, approximately 5% of the world’s population—equivalent to about 400 million individuals—require rehabilitation for hearing loss

• According to WHO projections, by the year 2050, around 2.5 billion people worldwide are expected to have some degree of hearing loss, with approximately 700 million individuals requiring hearing rehabilitation

HEARING AID CHIPSET MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into single core, dual core

• Single Core: Single core chipsets are used in basic hearing aids for essential audio processing tasks, offering reliable performance with lower power consumption.

• Dual Core: Dual core chipsets provide advanced sound processing capabilities, enabling real-time AI features, noise reduction, and enhanced user experience in premium hearing aids.

People only need one hearing aid if there is hearing loss in one ear and typical or almost adequate hearing in the other. However, the majority of people experience bilateral hearing loss, particularly if the loss of hearing is related to age. In order to improve the device's capacity for processing sound, dual-core processor in hearing devices implies the use of two independent processing units, or cores. This strategy seeks to enhance the hearing aid's overall effectiveness and performance in managing challenging acoustic settings.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into primary type hearing aids, rechargeable type hearing aids.

• Primary Type Hearing Aids: These are traditional hearing aids designed for daily use, commonly powered by replaceable batteries and using basic or mid-range chipsets.

• Rechargeable Type Hearing Aids: Equipped with integrated rechargeable batteries, these hearing aids often use advanced chipsets to support wireless charging and continuous use without frequent battery replacement.

According to the electronics utilized, hearing aids function differently. Analog and digital electronics are the two primary varieties. Sound waves are transformed into amplified electrical signals by analog aids. Individual users' needs are taken into consideration when creating analog/adjustable hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids with standard disposable batteries, rechargeable hearing aids contain battery packs that do not need to be removed on a regular basis. Just dock the hearing aids on a charging unit every night, much as how smartphones are charged, as an alternative to taking out the batteries themselves.

DRIVING FACTORS

Category of Adult Patients to Support Completed Market Expansion

The category for adult patients is expected to expand at the fastest rate because hearing loss is becoming more common in this demographic. A major problem for older persons is hearing loss, which is frequently brought on by aging-related conditions or middle ear wax blockage. If treatment is not received, it might worsen communication and result in depression and dementia. Although they provide a useful answer, few persons over 50 actually wear hearing aids. Commonly used CIC as well as ITC hearing devices can help with mild to severe hearing loss. The focus of vendors such as Oticon is on adult hearing aids with advanced features. Market expansion is anticipated as a result of these developments.

• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of recently 466 million people globally suffer from disabling hearing loss, driving demand for hearing-aid chipsets

• According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), nearly 66.6% of U.S. adults aged 70+ experience hearing loss, increasing demand for advanced hearing devices and chipsets

Utilization of Open-Fit Hearing to Foster Industry Progress

Open-fit hearing aids are those that don't press on your eardrum. In actuality, open-fit cochlea implants are not anything new, even if their appeal has recently increased. The fact that feedback—its main weakness—is no longer a problem is a major factor in their resurgence. These days, sophisticated feedback algorithms that recognize and eliminate data before it reaches your ears are only found in the simplest cochlear implants.

An open-fit hearing aid is a cochlear implant placed behind the ear with a limited passageway or receiving device or receiver-in-the-ear with an access cupola inside the ear. Because of the wide opening in the ear canal created by this design, low-frequency sounds can naturally enter whereas high-frequency sounds are amplified by the hearing aid.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Significant Research and Development Expenses to Stop Market Evolution

The company must abide by a number of strict standards, such as those set forth by the FDA, for the items. Additionally, the EU Medical Device Guidelines are imposing more and more requirements. Furthermore, significant investment in quality control systems is necessary. In addition, there are significant research and development expenses and broad rights to intellectual property in the hearing industry that limit what may be done and drive up product costs. The market is being restrained by each of these issues.

• According to U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), Medicare coverage excluded hearing exams required for hearing-aid fittings as of February 2024, limiting adoption due to out-of-pocket expenses

• According to industry analytics, about 17% of adults aged 20–69 and 12.5% of adolescents aged 6–19 in the U.S. have irreversible hearing damage due to noise, yet only ~10% of affected individuals had hearing aids as of 2019, indicating cost and accessibility constraints
