Audiological Devices Market for Cochlear Implants, Bone Anchored Hearing Aids and Audiometers - Market Overview, Trends and Forecast by 2018

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) factsheet on deafness and hearing loss states that over 5% of the world’s population suffers from disabling hearing loss. This amounts to 360 million people globally. The U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders’ (NIDCD) studies show that that among every 1000 people aged 65 years and over in the U.S., 314 suffer from hearing impairment. The figure represents the massive market that exists for audiological devices – equipment and systems used by audiologists for studying hearing loss. Audiological devices are also used for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss.

Broadly segmented, the global audiological devices market is composed of hearing aids, bone anchored hearing aids, cochlear implants, and diagnostic devices. Each of these segments has been further sub-segmented to provide a detailed analysis of the global audiological devices market.

The report segments the global audiological devices market by product into: Hearing aids, cochlear implants, bone anchored hearing aids (BAHA), and diagnostic devices. The hearing aids segment is further split into: Behind-the-ear (BTE) aids, in-the-ear (ITE) aids, receiver-in-the-ear aids, and canal hearing aids/in-the-canal (ITC). On similar lines, the diagnostic devices segment is sub-segmented into: Audiometers, otoscopes, and tympanometers. Each of these key segments and sub-segments is analyzed on the basis of sales revenue, effectiveness, and degree of adoption in the market.

BTE and ITE are the two most popular types of hearing aids essentially because they offer unmatched convenience to users, are high on the aesthetics quotient, and provide easy connectivity. The aged are seen to prefer BTE hearing aids because they are easier to handle and clean as compared to their ITE counterparts.
