Ongoing support from Medical Tourism in developed countries is set to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth. Healthcare facilities are reducing surgical costs in ENT procedures and are showcasing lucrative opportunities for the market to grow in the coming years. Increasing prominence for the medical tourism industry in developed countries is likely to enhance the regional market growth. Recent studies show that a person suffering from hearing loss cannot lead a healthy and quality life. Hence, the demand for the hearing aid market has been growing at a higher rate in the past few years.

Hearing aid devices show accuracy among older people as they have high levels of hearing loss.

However, negligence of the hearing loss issue, especially in rural areas, is majorly hindering the market growth rate. Along with this, the high requirement to invest more in manufacturing quality devices is slightly degrading the demand for the market. The availability of local brands at a lower price solely impacts the market growth and key players. Stringent rules and regulations imposed by government authorities are also negatively impacting the market growth rate.

Impact of COVID-19 on the North American hearing aid market

The North American hearing aid market share was impacted negatively due to the spread of coronavirus at the end of 2019. Government authorities took various steps to curb the spread of COVID-19 across the countries; however, the effect was devastating in 2020 and 2021. All the schedules and treatment procedures were halted, which resulted in a 20% reduction in the sales of hearing aids in the United States in 2021. With all these odds, the market size is bouncing back at a higher rate from 2022.
