Dublin, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Hearables Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Hearables Market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period of 2020-2025. Moreover, the market is multiplying due to the increasing demand for consumer preference for an enhanced audio experience, the growing music industry, and the growing penetration of the internet.
The demand for on-ear and over-ear headphones has reduced due to the bulky size and cost of these headphones.

According to the World Health Organisation, Over 5% of the world's population or 466 million people are suffering from hearing loss, and it is expected to reach over 900 million people by 2050.
Major key vendors in this market are also following innovative strategies to meet the unique demand of consumers. However, modern hearing aids are incorporated with broadband technology and filters, which can selectively amplify the sounds which the user wants to hear, and it also reduces the background noise of that system. For instance, in 2019, Oticon launched Oticon Xceed, and Oticon Xceed play for adults and pediatric patients. This product is integrated with brain hearing technologies, which can improve speech clarity by reducing the environmental noise for its users.
