Audiologists in the US industry analysis
Audiologists experienced massive challenges during COVID-19 (worker shortages, supply chain disruptions, increased wages). And while some industry participants turned to remote services to mute the mounting losses, telemedicine tools could not fully stem the revenue losses of 2020 that carried into 2021. However, 2022 brought a rebound as wages stabilized and Medicare and Medicaid funding volatility was counterbalanced by an uptick in overall health expenditures and per capita disposable income. Growth continued for the remainder of the period, with industry-wide revenue expected to grow at a CAGR of 0.9% through 2024 and reach $44.7 billion in 2024 when revenue will jump by an estimated 1.1% in 2024 alone.
Trends and Insights
- FDA regulations boost accessibility and awareness in audiology services. With the establishment of an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids category, accessible and affordable hearing solutions are now directly available to consumers, potentially reducing the service segment but increasing awareness of hearing health.
- Cochlear implants, an option for profound hearing loss, rely heavily on audiologist services. Audiologists assess candidacy for implants, program the devices and provide therapy to aid in adaptation, making their involvement central to the process.
- Enter with a bang. Newcomers can quickly establish themselves in the fluctuating start-up revenue environment by forging crucial connections that expand referrals, broaden telehealth markets and facilitate access to skilled workers.
