The rising prevalence of hearing loss is expected to boost the medical penlight market. Hearing loss is becoming more common, and medical penlights are used by healthcare providers to examine the ear, ear canal, and eardrum for potential issues. In November 2023, the National Council on Aging reported that 60.7 million Americans aged 12 and older were affected by hearing loss.
