Science
The cochlear implant and related hearing technology have made Australia world leaders. Not only in earning a profit, but helping people with hearing loss.
How do they make their ideas work, and how did they turn them into a successful business?
Peter Blamey is one of the pioneers of the cochlear implant, before becoming co-founder of Blamey and Saunders Hears.
If you know someone who might have hearing loss, we recommend the Speach Perception Test on the link above.
In this interview, Peter tells us what happened when they first switched on the implant of one cochlear recipient.
Interview by Rod, who has impaired hearing. You can read his story in the Big Issue.
