Approval of Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids Fuels Asia Pacific Hearing Aids Market
Loss of hearing can have a profound impact on quality of life. According to World Health Organization (WHO), there were ~1.5 billion living with hearing loss globally and only 20% of the population with hearing loss uses hearing aids. The reason behind this is the high cost of hearing aids, as people experiencing hearing loss must undergo audiology exams, get prescriptions for devices that are sized and fit appropriately in the ear, and receive counsel on proper use and follow-up tuning of devices.
A surge is expected to be witnessed in the demand for OTC hearing aids by consumers suffering from mild to moderate hearing loss. For instance, in October 2022, Sony Electronics introduced its first over-the-counter hearing aids in the market. The unique products were developed in partnership with W.S. Audiology. The first two products, Sony CRE-C10 and CRE-E10, will be available on the Sony website and at Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers globally. The introduction of over-the-counter promotes innovation and competition in the hearing aid technology market. Such factors will offer growth opportunities to the hearing aids market.
