Cochlear
Cochlear. Hear Now. And always
As the global leader in implantable hearing solutions, Cochlear’s story goes back more than 40 years to when Professor Graeme Clark invented the first multi-channel cochlear implant. Inspired by his father’s own hearing loss, he persevered for years to find a treatment. His breakthrough led to the foundation of Cochlear in 1981, where we continue his work today.
Since then, we’ve provided more than 700,000 implantable devices in over 180 countries, helping people of all ages to hear and live the life they want.
We are committed to helping you or your loved one achieve the best possible hearing every day.
This means providing innovative hearing solutions and ongoing support throughout your hearing journey – today and into the future.
