As per the global hearing aid market report, the hearing healthcare market in the world is mainly divided into three segments: Hearing Aids, Hearing Implants and Hearing Diagnostics. The global wholesale hearing aid market volume reported faster growth when compared to historical growth trend, primarily driven by favorable reimbursement changes in Germany with the effect from November, 2013. The US is the largest hearing aid market, still having plenty of scope for volume growth like other countries, Germany, the UK, Japan, and Australia among others. The hearing implants are segmented into three categories: cochlear implants, direct acoustical cochlear stimulation implants and bone-anchored hearing implants.
