Tympanometers Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Product (Handheld Tympanometers, Tympanometers With Built-In Printers, Others), By End User (Hospitals, Clinics, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Tympanometry provides valuable quantitative information regarding the presence of fluid in the middle ear, the mobility of the middle ear and volume of the ear canal. Tympanometer is a device which is used to obtain quantitative clinical information about the functioning and presence of fluid in the middle ear. Tympanometer is helpful in the diagnosis of otitis media effusion, acute otitis media, tenderness or soreness of the ear, otitis externa, excessive wax, and others.

The Commonwealth of Australia mentioned in their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Report 2017, from 2012 to 2013, almost 12% of all indigenous Australians had ear problem. There are also increased instances of noise pollution leading to hearing problems. According to WHO, 1.1 billion young people between the age group 12-35 years are at the risk of hearing problems due to increased exposure to noise.

The tympanometers market growth is driven by the increase in the prevalence of hearing disorders and rapid technological advancements in the tympanometers. In 2017, PATH Medical Solutions introduced Sentiero Diagnostic Desktop, that included air or bone or speech audiometry along with features such as multi-frequency probe tone, Eustachian Tube Function (ETF), manual pump control, ipsilateral or contralateral acoustic reflexes with reflex decay. Similarly, Interacoustics A/S, launched AT235, an automatic middle ear analyzer with child distraction function which will aid in case of pediatric patients.

The high cost of tympanometers is the major restraining factor in the growth of tympanometers market.
