We remain positive on the company’s prospects in the cochlear implant market given its innovative leadership position, clinical reputation and strong product portfolio. We also believe low penetration of the addressable market provides a long-term runway and consider recent engagement initiatives targeting older adult segments in developed markets as significant changes...Cochlear is a for-profit entity and operates in the implantable hearing device industry.
