neutral point of view + copyright[edit]

I tagged the article ; whereas the "controversy" section provides a counterbalance, the whole "History" section is just repeating http://www.cochlear.com/au/corporate/about-graeme-clark --MarmotteiNoZ 05:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Company Formation[edit]

Is it appropriate to add some information relating to the formation of the company here. For example stating what led to the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia to fund the research work that led to the commercially available products sold today and what payback resulted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brycewhite (talk • contribs) 02:30, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Logo[edit]

[1]

@HyRax Aus: I'd say until they update their website or we see updated packaging or updated logo on their building, stick with the current website logo. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 00:54, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexis Jazz: They are already using updated packaging. The logo on the building in Australia won't change for ages because of COVID (not an appropriate spend of money), however the new Denver Office sports the new logo, and Cochlear's LinkedIn page sports the new branding as well. — HyRax Aus (talk or ping me) 01:44, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Photo gallery[edit]

Lots and lots of articles about electronics-related subjects (heck, just look at the article about hearing aids) contain a multitude of pictures to show the evolution of older versions of electronics in comparison to newer devices. I have tried via social media to source usable (ie, freely licensed) photos of various speech processor models, old, older, and newer that Wikimedia doesn't have good photos of. However, it appears that a sole user (MrOllie) has some very strong opinions against the inclusion of such images, seeing them as out of scope and "decorative". I highly encourage other users that pay attention to this article to voice their opinions here (after all I highly doubt Mr.Ollie's staunch anti-mini-photo-gallery stance is anywhere near the community consensus as a whole, especially given how incredibly common in electronics articles it is to provide a plethora of photos of devices, especially obsolete/discontinued ones to show how something changes with time).--RespectCE (talk) 17:30, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
