Switzerland Market Report for Hearing Aids 2016 - MedCore
The total hearing aid market includes both manufacturer revenue and retail revenue. The manufacturer hearing aid market segment represents the revenue generated from manufacturers selling their hearing aids to retailers. The retail hearing aid market segment represents the revenue generated from retailers selling hearing aids to end users. This approach was taken in order to do a comparison of the market revenue of the manufacturers of the hearing aid devices versus the retail hearing aid sales.
In 2010, hearing impaired patients in Switzerland were reimbursed by a complex system that evaluates numerous factors, including the severity of the patient’s hearing loss and their socio-economic status. However in 2012, in order to simplify the system and reduce reimbursement costs, the Switzerland government set a flat reimbursement rate of €775 (CHF 840) per hearing aid purchased. This has had a catastrophic effect on the market, so much so that the market has yet to fully recover.
