Audiology devices serve as specialized instruments utilized for diagnosing, treating, and addressing issues related to hearing and balance disorders, aiming to enhance the quality of life for individuals dealing with these challenges.
These devices encompass various types, including hearing aids such as in-the-ear (ITE), receiver-in-the-ear (RITE), behind-the-ear (BTE), canal (CHA), as well as cochlear implants, bone-anchored healing aids, and diagnostic tools. Hearing aids, among the primary devices, utilize electronic amplification to enhance sound for individuals experiencing hearing loss. They incorporate diverse technologies such as digital and analog, tailored to manage various conditions such as otosclerosis, Meniere's disease, acoustic tumors, otitis media, and others. These devices find application in a range of settings including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and research institutes, benefitting end users seeking improved auditory and balance assistance.

The audiology devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.1 billion in 2023 to $10.88 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. During the historical period, the increase can be credited to several factors, including economic trends, global health programs, a growing aging population, heightened awareness and education, as well as occupational exposure to noise.
The audiology devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to multiple factors, notably economic expansion and increased affordability, shifts in lifestyles impacting noise exposure, the widening reach of healthcare services, regulatory adjustments and evolving standards, and the persistent impact of occupational noise on hearing health.
The audiology devices market is set to expand due to the escalating prevalence of hearing loss. This condition, characterized by a diminished ability to perceive sounds in one or both ears, stems from diverse factors such as genetics, aging, noise exposure, injuries, infections, and certain medications. Audiology devices play a crucial role in managing hearing loss by enhancing speech clarity and communication. A report from the World Health Organization in February 2023 highlighted that over 430 million individuals, including adults and children, will require rehabilitation for hearing impairments, accounting for more than 5% of the global population. Furthermore, around a quarter of individuals over 60 years old experience hearing loss, with approximately 80% residing in developing nations. Predictions suggest that over 700 million people could grapple with hearing loss by 2050, underscoring the market's growth driven by increasing hearing impairment.
The burgeoning elderly population is a significant factor driving the growth of the audiology devices market. As individuals aged 65 and above constitute a larger segment of society, audiology devices become vital tools in enhancing their quality of life, particularly concerning hearing impairments prevalent in this demographic. These devices facilitate improved communication, social participation, and independence for the elderly experiencing hearing loss. Notably, in April 2022, America's Health Rankings reported that over 56 million adults aged 65 and older constituted nearly 17% of the total US population. Forecasts suggest this number will surpass 73.1 million by 2030. Therefore, the increasing elderly population significantly contributes to the growth of the audiology devices market.
Technological advancements in over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid devices mark a pivotal trend shaping the audiology devices market. Leading companies in this sector prioritize technological innovation to sustain their market position. For instance, GN Store Nord A/S introduced Jabra Enhance Plus in February 2022, an OTC-class, self-fitting hearing enhancement earbud. This cutting-edge earbud leverages advanced hearing technology tailored for millions grappling with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Its compact design encompasses advanced features for hearing enhancement, complemented by a smartphone app for personalized self-fitting and Bluetooth connectivity, enabling seamless audio streaming and phone calls.
Major players in the audiology devices market are dedicated to developing innovative products such as hearing-in-noise aids, aimed at gaining a competitive edge. These aids specifically target improving speech comprehension in noisy environments. ReSound, for instance, launched Nexia Hearing Aids in September 2023. Equipped with Auracast broadcast audio technology, these aids seamlessly connect users to public sound systems in various locations such as airports, theaters, and restaurants. The technology ensures users never miss important announcements, leveraging Bluetooth LE Audio for wireless connectivity. Furthermore, the Nexia hearing aids boast complete dustproof and water-resistant features, providing confidence for wearers in any weather condition.
In April 2022, Cochlear Ltd., an Australian company focusing on hearing implants, completed the acquisition of Oticon Medical for $170 million. This strategic move aims to bolster Cochlear Ltd.'s portfolio in implantable hearing solutions, amplifying customer awareness and trust, and broadening access for patients to tailored hearing solutions. Oticon Medical, headquartered in Denmark, specializes in audiology devices, particularly offering a range of hearing aid solutions.
