    Goals / Remit

    Austria-based MED-EL is a leading provider of hearing implant systems with 32 subsidiaries worldwide. The family-owned business is one of the pioneers in the industry. The two Austrian scientists Ingeborg and Erwin Hochmair developed the world’s first microelectronic-multichannel Cochlear-Implant in 1977. The cochlear implant was and remains the first replacement of a human sense, the sense of hearing. In 1990 they laid the foundation for the successful growth of the company when they hired their first employees. To date, the company has grown to more than 2400 employees around the world.

    Today MED-EL offers the widest range of implantable solutions worldwide to treat various degrees of hearing loss: cochlear and middle ear implant systems, EAS (combined Electric Acoustic Stimulation), auditory brainstem implants, and the world´s first active bone conduction implant. People in 134 countries enjoy the gift of hearing with MED-EL
