Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/20/2015 -- The global hearing aid market has a unique mix of dynamism and moderate growth at the same time. The market is dynamic in terms of technological development and innovation while at the same time, it suffers from weaker growth. On the up side, the market is supported by full and/or partial reimbursement programs in most of the developed world, rising proportion of elderly population (especially across the OECD), increasing expenditure on healthcare on a global scale and rising prevalence of hearing loss. On the down side, rising out-of-pocket hearing aid expenditure, price pressure and lower social acceptance remain the chief challenges for the market. However, cochlear implants and bone-anchored hearing systems have emerged as the two bright spots within the hearing aid market.
