Aging Population Bringing Demands for Hearing Aids
The growing population of elderly people in Australia is particularly driving the demand for hearing aids. The number of Australians aged 75 and older is expected to rise in the coming decade, by a staggering 49 per cent or an additional one million individuals, while life expectancy is also projected to increase, according to the new Centre for Population’s 2024 Population Statement. With a rise in the population of seniors, age-related hearing loss is becoming more common. This population change is promoting the use of hearing aids among older Australians who need hearing solutions to manage hearing deficits. Most older people are becoming aware about the necessity of wearing hearing devices to sustain their quality of life and remain active in social and work environments. The aging population is actively pursuing high-end, easy-to-use, and unobtrusive hearing aid solutions to tackle hearing loss more successfully. This increasing demand is also sustained through improvements in healthcare services for the elderly that ensure hearing aids become more accessible and affordable with both public and private health insurance coverage. Thus, the aging population is continually propelling the Australia hearing aids market growth.
Technological Developments in Hearing Aid Devices
Technological advancements in hearing support systems are driving the market. Ongoing developments in hearing aid technology, including the inclusion of Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable batteries, and artificial intelligence (AI), are improving the functionality and usability of hearing aids. These technological developments are improving the effectiveness of hearing aids in alleviating hearing loss and offering superior sound quality, comfort, and customization. They are shifting towards digital hearing aids that can be tailored through smartphone apps, giving more control and customization. The launch of telehealth services for hearing testing and fittings is also making it more convenient for people to get access to hearing aids, particularly in rural regions. Since technology keeps getting better, people are increasingly willing to embrace up-to-date hearing aid technology that not only enhances hearing ability but also fits conveniently into their connected way of life. In 2024, Starkey launched Genesis AI hearing aid devices in Australia and New Zealand. The hearing aid features a unique and efficient processor, a long-lasting rechargeable battery, along with various other aspects to improve its performance.
Increasing Awareness and Early Detection of Hearing Loss
Increased awareness about hearing health is driving the market of hearing aids in Australia. Both public and private bodies are placing greater emphasis on making people aware about hearing impairment, detection at an early stage, and urgency to approach treatment at the onset of hearing loss. This change is encouraging people to opt for hearing solutions earlier instead of waiting for advanced hearing loss. Audiologists and medical professionals are also stressing the importance of routine hearing testing, particularly among those who are at increased risk, like individuals with a hereditary history of hearing impairment or workers subject to loud sounds on the job. As the consciousness of hearing health keeps spreading, Australians are voluntarily seeking hearing aids. In addition, government-sponsored programs and private insurance coverage are making access less of a barrier to market growth.
