Market Opportunity & Target Audience
The global assistive technology market for hearing loss is valued at over $7 billion and continues to grow
with advancements in sensory tech and inclusivity-driven innovation. AmpliFa addresses a critical gap by
focusing on profoundly deaf individuals, many of whom remain excluded even from existing solutions.
Redefining access to music, film, theatre, and other cultural experiences through wearable sensory
technology, AmpliFa occupies a high-impact niche within the broader accessibility and experiential
technology sector.
