Listent Medical

Listent Medical is a China-based medtech company focused on cochlear implants and related hearing restoration technologies. Founded in 2004 in Shanghai, the company was built on cochlear implant research originating from the Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University and has developed indigenous implantable hearing devices for patients with severe to profound hearing loss. Its core commercial product family includes the LISTENT LCI-20PI cochlear implant system and associated external speech processors, and published clinical studies report safety and effectiveness in both post-lingually deafened individuals and prelingually deafened children. The company appears to operate as an active private medical device manufacturer with Class II/III device production capabilities in China. Listent is positioned as a domestic Chinese cochlear implant developer and manufacturer rather than a therapeutic biotech or pharma company.
