Hearing Loop Market Scope and Segmentation      

Market Definition

Hearing loops, also known as induction loops for audio frequency, are a realistic and usually cost-effective solution for significantly improving signal-to-noise ratio and speech comprehension. Hearing loops also reduce hearing comprehension effort, improve sound quality, and increase perceived pleasure and naturalness. A hearing loop device wirelessly transmits sound to a person without the use of additional devices such as headphones or collar loops, hearing aids, or cochlear implants. A telecoil, which is already built into the vast majority of modern hearing loop devices, receives the electromagnetic signal sent out by the system directly.

Hearing Loop Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase in the geriatric population

The hearing loop market is expected to be driven by an increase in the number of patients with hearing disorders and an increase in the global geriatric population. According to the WHO, there are 466 million people worldwide with disabling hearing loss, accounting for 6.1% of the global population; 432 million (93%) are adults (242 million males, 190 million females), and 34 million (7%) are adolescents. Hearing loss disorders affect approximately one-third of people over the age of 65. Unless something is done, the number of people with hearing loss disability is likely to increase in the coming years. According to projections, the number could reach 630 million by 2030, and over 900 million by 2050.

• Rising prevalence of hearing loss or hearing impairment 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 466 million people suffer from hearing loss, with approximately 34 million being children. According to WHO, the number of people suffering from hearing loss will reach 900 million by 2050. A variety of factors, including major genetic causes, birth complications, certain infectious diseases, chronic ear infections, the use of specific drugs, and exposure to excessive noise causes individuals' hearing loss. It has also been discovered that approximately 1.1 billion young children have suffered hearing losses due to exposure to loud noises and sound levels in recreational settings. These are the factors which propel the market growth.

Opportunities

• Government Initiatives

The countries all over the world are now focused on reducing deafness, which has resulted in the implementation of various initiatives aimed at raising awareness and providing free care to patients. Governments all over the world provide subsidies, grants, and funding to help prevent and manage hearing disorders. For instance, in Australia, the New South Wales (NSW) Statewide Infant Screening-Hearing (SWISH) programme aims to identify babies born with permanent bilateral deafness. Such initiatives are expected to increase global demand for these devices.

Restraints/Challenges

• High cost of device

The high cost of the device, as well as a lack of awareness among people in developing economies, will likely act as market restraints for the growth of the hearing loop market during the forecast period. Unfavourable reimbursement policies will be the most significant and immediate challenge to market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on the Hearing Loop Market

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the healthcare industry. Most hospitals are at capacity for COVID-19 positive patients. Furthermore, in order to reallocate resources, a number of elective procedures are being cancelled or postponed. Hearing aid sales in the United States fell by 29.7% in the first half of 2020, according to the Hearing Industries Association (HIA). The pandemic negatively impacted total sales of hearing aid support goods due to the postponement of procedures such as the cochlear implantation technique, one of the most important treatments to address hearing impairments. As a result, major manufacturers' hearing aid sales have declined. Despite these challenges, the hearing aid industry and other medical industries are gradually regaining ground as the COVID-19 situation around the world normalizes.
