Hearing aids market growth is driven by the technological advancements in hearing aids, growing prevalence of hearing loss, and the increasing adoption of smart hearing aids due to the rising incidence of noise-induced hearing loss.
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the delivery of medical care across the world. The increased pressure due to the growing rate of hospitalization of COVID-19 patients had led to the re-profiling of many hospitals and departments for treating patients with COVID-19.
Consequently, many elective surgeries were canceled or postponed worldwide to reserve or redirect the available limited capacities and resources (like hospital beds and patient care professionals) toward COVID-19 patient care.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ENT clinics and audiology centers pose a medium-to-high risk for COVID-19 infection, considering the proximity, test set-up, and length of appointments.

The crisis has ushered in a new era in the hearing healthcare space that requires a radical rethinking of service delivery in audiology. Low- and no-touch services are now necessary for audiology patients (who are typically at the highest risk for COVID-19 morbidity and mortality due to their advanced age).
Hearing aid manufacturers have started focusing on including mobile audiometry and digital hearing care solutions for remote hearing aid device troubleshooting, counseling, fine-tuning, and tracking.

Globally, the rising incidence of hearing loss has made it extremely important to monitor and examine hearing functions. In children, untreated hearing loss negatively impacts language development, learning, and social engagement. Similarly, older adults with hearing loss often have difficulty following day-to-day conversations.
In addition, the regulatory policies in the Asia Pacific region are more adaptive and business-friendly than those in developed countries. This, along with the increasing competition in mature markets, has drawn key players in the hearing aids market to focus on emerging countries.
Currently, several countries are facing a shortage of skilled professionals who are capable of effectively performing ENT procedures, such as cochlear implantation. Underdeveloped countries and regions face this problem on a much wider scale.
