Developed markets contribute the bulk of Cochlear's group revenue with cochlear implants the standard of care for children with severe to profound hearing loss. The company is also catering for a growing cohort of seniors when standard hearing aid technology loses its effectiveness.
Cochlear's main products include cochlear implants, bone-anchored hearing devices, and associated sound processors. The vast majority of Cochlear's revenue is derived from overseas, with the US and Europe by far the company's two largest markets.
