Starkey Hearing Technologies is a privately held, global hearing technology company headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minn. We are recognized for our innovative design, development and distribution of comprehensive digital hearing systems. We develop products using an evidence-based design approach, meaning that rigorous testing takes place to prove the benefits of a new technology or algorithm before a hearing aid is ever fit on a patient. Every Starkey Hearing Technologies employee is committed to helping people on their journey to better hearing every day. Starkey Hearing Technologies operates 21 facilities and conducts business in more than 100 markets worldwide. We develop, manufacture and distribute hearing aids via five distinct brands - Audibel, NuEar, MicroTech, AudioSync and our original brand, Starkey.

Hear now. And always As the global leader in implantable hearing solutions, at Cochlear (ASX: COH) we are committed to our mission to help people hear and be heard. Our story started more than four decades ago when Professor Graeme Clark pioneered the world's first multi-channel cochlear implant and created an entirely new treatment for hearing loss. Since our formation in 1981, we continue Professor Clark’s work to help people with moderate to profound hearing loss experience a life full of hearing. We have provided more than 650,000 implantable devices. Each recipient helps form a global community of millions, through families, friends, colleagues, teachers and more. And they’re not just connected to their own community — each shares a link with each other and to Professor Clark’s childhood desire to help people hear. We aim to give people the best lifelong hearing experience and access to innovative future technologies. We understand the privilege of connecting people to a life lived with hearing. And we listen, respond and move with the times – to continue to bring hearing within reach of all those who need it. That's how we live our mission every day. Our global workforce of more than 4,000 people shares a collective determination to give more people the opportunity to enjoy a life of hearing. Cochlear’s global headquarters are on the campus of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia with regional headquarters in Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas. Through our offices in over 180 countries we help people of all ages to hear. Social Media Terms of Use http://bit.ly/2qRMEvY
