Market drivers include the aging of the population (and associated increase in the prevalence of hearing loss), technological advancements leading to higher-priced devices and expansion to a broader population, user preference for higher-end devices with advanced features, and underpenetration of the market in some regions. Limiters to this market include a large number of lower-cost imports, limited access to hearing care in some regions, and social stigma regarding the use of hearing aids.
