implants, the two available treatments for
dealing with hearing impairment, are gaining
popularity in the Indian hearing impaired
population due to the rising literacy level and
awareness related to hearing care. However, the
high cost of both hearing aids and implants is
the primary reason inhibiting the growth of the

people in India.

hearing implantation in India restricts the
growth of the market, people are realizing that
implants are a long term investment as a remedy
to hearing loss. Amongst the type of hearing
implants available in India, Cochlear implants
are the most widely used implantable device,
totaling to implants done in FY2013, thus
accounting for a share of in the Indian
market. Since hearing implants are donated by the
