Apple
We’ve been working with Apple for more than 10 years to bring to market the first Made for iPhone implantable hearing solutions. This collaboration led us to release the first Made for iPhone cochlear and bone conduction implant sound processors on the market.
Our range of Made for iPhone hearing solutions allows people to stream calls, music and entertainment from their Apple device straight to their sound processor.

Addressing hearing loss as a global public health priority
Cochlear and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health jointly announced a $10 million USD gift from Cochlear to establish the Cochlear Centre for Hearing and Public Health in March 2018.
The Center will address hearing loss’ global impact by conducting research studies to determine the gravity of hearing loss (particularly among older adults) to public health, developing and testing interventions to mitigate the effects of hearing loss, and helping craft policies and strategies to ensure successful implementation of hearing loss interventions at the local, national and global levels.
Most importantly, the Center will recruit and train the next generation of researchers and public health experts to advance these goals well into the future.
