The auditory brainstem implant market is expected to grow from US$ 61.19 million in 2022 to US$ 114.67 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2030.

Analyst’s Viewpoint

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a device that helps patients suffering from hearing disabilities and who cannot receive a cochlear implant (CI) due to anatomic constraints. This neuroprosthetic device bypasses the cochlear nerve and electrically stimulates second order neurons in the cochlear nucleus (CN) using a multichannel surface array. It is usually recommended for patients who have cochlear and retrocochlear pathologies.

The auditory brainstem implant market analysis explains growth drivers such as rising prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss and technological advancements in ABI devices. However, the high costs of surgical treatments and limited reimbursement policies hamper the market growth. Further, development of hybrid devices is expected to emerge as the future trends in the auditory brainstem implants market during 2022–2030.

Market Insights

Growing Prevalence of Sensorineural Hearing Loss to Drive Auditory Brainstem Implant Market Growth

According to an article published by StatPearls in 2023, the US reports 5 to 27 cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) per 100,000 people every year, resulting in ~66,000 new cases annually. In addition, ~16% of adults worldwide with disabling hearing loss have noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), another significant cause of hearing loss in adults that is related to occupational noise. It remains a common occupational disease despite legislation in place in most developed countries to prevent NIHL. Many studies have found that ABIs are successful in restoring hearing for Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients with bilateral deafness. In an article published by Wolters Kluwer in February 2021, a study was carried out to assess auditory brainstem implantation in a case of a 65-year-old male diagnosed with bilateral cochlear otosclerosis and profound sensorineural hearing loss. The study concluded that extensive otosclerosis of the cochlea may lead to a poor outcome of cochlear implantation. In such cases, an Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) could be considered as an alternative treatment for profound sensorineural hearing loss in deaf children and adults who receive little or no benefit from hearing aids and aren’t suitable candidates for cochlear implants.

Furthermore, the availability of advanced hearing implants equipped with innovative technologies has improved their effectiveness in treating hearing impairments. This, combined with minimally invasive surgical approaches, has played a significant role in the growth and prominence of the auditory brainstem implant market.

Future Trend

Development of Hybrid Devices to Emerge as Future Trends in Auditory Brainstem Implant Market During Forecast Period

The development of hybrid devices combining cochlear and brainstem implants is aimed to provide better hearing outcomes for patients suffering from hearing loss and who are ineligible for cochlear implantation due to anomalies of the cochlea and cochlear nerve. According to an article published by International Journal of Audiology in October 2022, a study aimed to assess impedance development following the implantation of Hybrid-L electrodes was carried out. In the study, 137 adult patients were implanted with a Hybrid-L electrode and followed up for at least one year. The study suggested reduced tissue growth with the Hybrid-L electrode array despite smaller contacts.

Therefore, the development of hybrid implants to reduce surgical risks, complications, and recovery time for patients is expected to boost the auditory brainstem implant market growth during 2022-2030.
