Over 15% of the worldÍs adult population is affected by hearing loss. At Sonova, we consider this number to be too high, and therefore envision a world where everyone enjoys the delight of hearing without limitations. Since the foundation of our company in 1947, we have been on a mission to become the recognized innovation leader in the global hearing care market. We are committed to offering the most comprehensive solutions _ from hearing aids to cochlear implants to wireless communication solutions _ to treat all forms of hearing loss and improve quality of life, as well as master the most challenging hearing situations. Our brands Phonak, Unitron, Advanced Bionics and AudioNova cover the entire hearing spectrum. With a presence in over 100 countries and a workforce of over 14,000 dedicated employees, we leverage our global infrastructure and local roots. We aim for a work environment and culture that fosters a good balance of family and work life for both men and women. We are therefore pleased that 39% of our management positions are filled by women and that 63.5% of our employees are female. Furthermore, 45% of our employees belong to Generation Y (born between 1979 and 1994). By supporting the Hear the World Foundation, Sonova pursues its vision of a world where everyone enjoys the delight of hearing and therefore lives a life without limitations.
