Eargo reported that net revenue was $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. The company says the increase was driven by an increase in consumer adoption of the Eargo hearing aid system and a decrease in sales return accrual rate.
According to HIA statistics, the US hearing aid market has experienced sales gains of 5.9% and may exceed 4 million hearing aid units dispensed by the end of 2018. Here's a summary of the US hearing industry statistics through the third quarter of this year, including a look at the most-common styles of hearing aids sold.
This study reports that the Siemens binaural beamformer Narrow Directionality in a new 2-microphone device is as effective as in the RIC form factor.
Read MoreConsumer satisfaction ratings of completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids are equal or favorable to the most current [1994] MarkeTrak profile. CICs received better scores in key areas such as visibility, directionality, feedback, and performance while on the phone and in outdoor situations. Statistics point to CICs attracting a more youthful, less hearing-impaired market. CICs provide benefit, as measured by the APHAB, equivalent to the typical new hearing instrument.

Among the reported bnefits of CIC hearing aids relative to the other types were reduced acoustic feedback, reduced occlusion, and increased real-ear acoustic gain, particularly in the high frequencies.
Read MoreThis early CIC-related article provides information on the fitting of complete-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids, and looks at how they may provide measurable gain and saturation output, while reducing the occlusion effect.
