Conclusion

The global hearing aids market has shown significant growth in recent years. Despite this progress, access to hearing aids remains uneven, particularly in LMICs, where coverage is critically low. While NGOs and corporate foundations are attempting to provide essential hearing care services where no formal provisions exist, the scale remains far below the level of need. To address the large unmet demand, it is essential for donors and LMIC governments to allocate dedicated budgets for the provision of hearing aids.
