I've done a little research and here's what I've come up with. It looks like the leader is an Australian company called 'Cachlear LTD'. They trade on the Australian stock market.

COCHLEAR LTD
This company supplies about two thirds of the world market in cochlear implants for profoundly hearing impaired people. Almost half of the implant recipients are children. Annual sales are over $144 million with a distribution and service network covering almost 60 countries. Whilst some in the deaf community reject the Cochlear technology, AEI's Directors believe the positive aspects make the technology worthwhile in providing choice to adults and to parents with children having profound hearing impairment.

They appear to be a privately held company.
