Hearing Implants Market

This Future Market Insights report examines the ‘Hearing Implants Market: Global Industry Analysis 2013 – 2017 and Opportunity Assessment, 2018 – 2028’. The primary objective of the report is to offer updates and insights regarding various market opportunities in the global hearing implant market.

Hearing implants are electronic prosthetic devices used to treat hearing loss and deafness. The hearing loss can be of two types sensorineural and conductive hearing loss. There are four types of hearing implants to treat hearing loss, i.e., the cochlear implant, middle ear implant, bone conduction implant and auditory brainstem implant. Hearing Implants are used in the patients in the cases where the hearing aids don’t work. The hearing implants are complex structures which are fitted by surgical procedures. The hearing implants consist of two parts, an external portion and the implant which is surgically placed under the skin. The hearing implants provides sound to the patients suffering from profound hearing loss. Different types of implants are used for different kinds of defects. The hearing implants are substitutes that directly stimulates the auditory nerve.  Patients with cochlear defects use the cochlear implants. Due to the technological advancement in implants bone conduction hearing aids are replaced with the Bone conduction system devices. Middle ear implants directly stimulate the middle ear as they are electronic devices that convert the sound into mechanical vibrations. However an auditory brainstem implant is used when the hearing nerve is absent or damaged. Auditory brainstem implant brings the sound signals directly to the brainstem by bypassing the nerve of hearing. It is a substitute for the patients who are suffering from profound hearing loss and are using hearing aids. Moreover reimbursements are present for the patients opting for hearing implants. The reimbursements and the insurance coverage may vary for different regions and for different providers but there can be chance that some insurance providers may offer 100% insurance while some may provide 50%.
