Cochlear CEO
Over the last 25 years, Cochlear has been at the forefront of the research, development and manufacture of implants to aid the hearing impaired. Over this period, Cochlear's implantable hearing solutions have assisted over 170 000 patients throughout the world. Cochlear's success is built upon its ability to continuously innovate to deliver cutting edge technology and design of high quality hearing implants. In 2009, Cochlear suffered some setbacks, mainly due to the global financial crisis, and more specifically, a drop in sales in the Chinese market.
