    About Cochlear Ltd

    Cochlear Ltd (ASX: COH) is the world's leading cochlear implant device manufacturer with around half of global market share.

    The company was founded in Australia in 1983 to commercialise implants pioneered by Melbourne researcher Dr Graeme Clark, but later became a separate entity.

    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.
