- Speech understanding requires long training period, on-going efforts and is very sensitive to environmental noise.
- Music perception nearly does not exist
- Existing and ready market
- $120 Billion total available market
- Cochlear implant is standard of care for children in developed countries
The global market size of cochlear implant in 2020
OVER $1.6 BILLION
