Bionic Ears Market: By Device Type, By End-user, and by Geography   

Bionic Ears Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Device Type (Bone Anchored Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants), By End-user (Hospitals, Clinics, and Research Institutes), and by Region   

Bionic Ears Market size was valued at US$ 22.52 billion in 2023 and is growing at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024-2030. A bionic ear is an electronic device that is designed to produce hearing sensations by electrically stimulating nerves in the inner ear of deaf patients. It consists of a receiver-stimulator implanted below the patient's skin behind the ear and a sound processor. These processors stimulate the inner ear nerves, sending signals to the brain where these signals are interpreted as sound. The bionic ear is beneficial for people who are suffering from severe, profound, or total loss of hearing.

Standard hearing aid devices work by amplifying sound, but it is only useful for people with partial loss of hearing not for people who are deaf or have profoundly impaired hearing. Loss of hearing is associated with damage or other abnormalities in the tiny sensor hair cells present inside the cochlea or inner ear. To overcome such conditions bionic ears are used. The bionic ears market is expected to show considerable growth over the forecast period. As per WHO, more than 360 million people are affected by loss of hearing disability globally. Loss of hearing is one of the leading global disorders. According to the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), the prevalence rate of hearing disorders is growing with age, which is affecting about 70% of people over 70 and 42% of people over 50.

Geriatric people are highly susceptible to loss of hearing which can affect their social life. Due to this factor, the bionic ear market is expected to show significant growth. Untreated loss of hearing among newborn can affect their entire life. As it can lead to impairment in speaking and affect their psychological abilities. However, due to technological advancement and the development of bionic ears, it is now possible to help these children.  Also due to increasing awareness and better diagnostic facilities to detect the problem number of cases are being registered among newborn children. Research institutes such as the Bionics Institute are aiming at improving the performance of bionic ears and the function of hearing nerves.

Bionic Ears Market Key Developments:

  • In July 2017, Cochlear Limited introduced the Cochlear Nucleus 7 Sound Processor into the U.S. market and it was by the U.S. FDA
  • In August 2015, Advanced Bionics (AB), a subsidiary of Switzerland-based Sonova received U.S.FDA approval for Nada CI Q90 and Q30 sound processors
