Egypt
Hearing-Aid Devices market is expected to grow at an impressive rate during the
forecast period 2024-2028. The major factors include increasing cases of ear-problems among people
and technical advancement in hearing-aid and devices, along with rise in
government’s support regarding cost efficiency and subsidiaries in hearing-aid
devices.
According
to WHO (World Health Organization) report, in 2021, one in five people worldwide
had hearing impairment. Hearing impairment is
a very common health problem across the world. Hearing aid devices are sold through various channels in Egypt,
including hearing aid centers, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. These
devices can also be purchased online through e-commerce websites.
Hearing-aid
devices are designed to assist individuals with hearing loss. These devices
amplify sounds and help people with hearing loss, hear better. Hearing loss can
occur due to age, noise exposure, certain medical conditions, or genetic
factors. Hearing loss can make communication difficult and impact an
individual's quality of life. Hearing-aid devices come in various shapes and
sizes and use different technologies to amplify sound. The most common type of hearing
aid is the behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid. BTE hearing aids consist of a
small case that sits behind the ear, connected to a mold or earpiece that fits
inside the ear canal. These devices are easy to handle and maintain and can
provide significant amplification for affected people. Another type of hearing
aid is the in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid, which fits entirely inside the ear
canal. These devices are often custom-made to fit the user's ear and are less
visible than BTE hearing aids. However, ITE hearing aids may not be suitable
for people with severe hearing loss, as it may not provide enough
amplification. The selection of a hearing aid depends on the individual's
hearing loss and lifestyle needs. It is important to note that hearing aids
should be fitted and programmed by a licensed audiologist to ensure optimal
performance. Regular maintenance and cleaning are also essential to keep the
hearing aids functioning correctly.
Moreover,
some insurance companies in Egypt cover the cost of hearing aids for their
clients, while some government hospitals and clinics provide hearing aids to
patients for free or at a subsidized price, thus creating more demand in the
Egypt hearing aid devices market. Also, hearing aids are only effective if they
are properly fitted and adjusted by a qualified audiologist or hearing aid
specialist. There are many audiologists and hearing aid specialists who can
provide professional hearing aid fitting and adjustment services to ensure
optimal performance and satisfaction.
Rising
Geriatric Population
As
the geriatric population in Egypt continues to grow, there remains a
corresponding increase in demand for hearing aid devices. The elderly
population is more prone to hearing loss due to age-related changes in the ear,
and as a result, they require more assistance with hearing than younger
individuals. According
to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of disabling
hearing loss in adults aged 65 years and older in Egypt is around 41%. This is
significantly higher than the global average of 14%. The study also found that
the prevalence of disabling hearing loss increases with age, with almost 60% of
adults aged 80 years and older experiencing disabling hearing loss. The rise in demand for
hearing aid devices among the geriatric population can be attributed to several
factors such as hearing loss being a common condition among the elderly, and it
often goes unnoticed or untreated. Furthermore, many elderly individuals seek
hearing aids to improve their quality of life and stay connected with their family.
This, in turn, increases the demand for the hearing aid-devices market.
Technological
Advancements In Hearing Aid-Devices
Technological
advancements in hearing aid devices are causing a rise in demand for hearing
aids in Egypt. Modern hearing aids have evolved significantly in recent years,
making them more effective, comfortable, and user-friendly. Technical
advancement in hearing aid technology such as digital signal processing (DSP), allows
for better sound quality and noise reduction. DSP technology allows for the
filtering of unwanted background noise and amplification of speech, making it
easier for the wearer to understand conversations in noisy environments. Another
technological advancement is wireless connectivity, which enables hearing aids
to connect to other devices, such as smartphones and televisions. Along with
this feature, hearing aid users can use/lead audio directly to their hearing
aids, providing a more immersive listening experience. Wireless hearing aids
are more preferred in current times. Wireless hearing aids allow users to
connect their hearing aids to other devices, such as smartphones, televisions,
and computers, using Bluetooth Technology. Wireless hearing aids also allow for
remote programming and adjustments, providing users with greater flexibility
and convenience.
Moreover,
the size and design of hearing aids have improved significantly with
advancements in miniaturization and 3D printing, making it easier and safe to
use often. Modern hearing aids are small, discreet, and come in various colors
and styles, making them more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to wear. Furthermore,
the availability of affordable hearing aid devices is another factor
contributing to the rise in demand. As the rise in competition among hearing
aid manufacturers increases, prices have become more affordable, making hearing
aids accessible to a wider population.
Rising
Prevalence Of Ear-Problems Among The Population
The
rising prevalence of ear problems among the population in Egypt is contributing
to the increase in demand for hearing aid devices. Ear problems, such as
infections, trauma, and noise-induced hearing loss, can cause permanent damage
to the inner ear, resulting in hearing loss. As the incidence of ear problems
continues to rise, there is a corresponding increase in the number of
individuals requiring hearing aid devices to improve their quality of life.
Hearing aids can help individuals with hearing loss to communicate more
effectively, remain socially active, and enjoy a better quality of life.
Factors
that causes hearing loss in Egypt includes noise-induced hearing loss, which is
often caused by exposure to loud noises over a long period. The increasing prevalence
of noise pollution in urban areas, including traffic noise and construction
noise, is contributing to the rise in noise-induced hearing loss. Furthermore,
ear infections, such as otitis media, are a common condition among the children
in Egypt. Repeated episodes of ear infections can damage the eardrum and lead
to hearing loss. As a result, many children with hearing loss require hearing
aid devices to improve their hearing and speech development.
Increasing
Awareness Among the Population
There
is a growing awareness on the benefits of hearing aids among the population in
Egypt. This has led to more individuals seeking treatment for their hearing
loss and investing in hearing aids to improve their quality of life. The
increased accessibility of hearing aids has also contributed to the growth of
the industry. With more hearing aid centers and clinics opening in Egypt,
hearing aids are becoming more accessible to a wider population. Additionally,
the Egyptian government has taken steps to support the hearing aid devices
industry, such as providing subsidies for hearing aids and improving healthcare
infrastructure to increase access to hearing healthcare services.
