Cochlear Limited (ASX: COH), the global leader in implantable hearing solutions, announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and launch of the Cochlear™ Nucleus® Hybrid Implant System, a revolutionary new hybrid hearing solution that helps people who may hear a little but are still missing a lot, even with their hearing aids. The Nucleus Hybrid System is a unique combination of proven solutions, which allows people to get back what they've been missing by amplifying the low-pitched hearing a person does have while restoring access to the high-pitched hearing they've lost. People who are candidates for the technology no longer have to worry about straining to hear with their hearing aids as the Nucleus Hybrid System will allow them to maximize their hearing in all frequencies.

The Denim Studio, which officially opens today, Thursday June 6, in Selfridges on Oxford Street, is the first and the largest space of its kind in the world at over 26,000sqft. Bigger than two Olympic swimming pools, or over half the size of a football pitch, the space has been conceived to address the specific needs of women looking for the perfect denim fit. Its launch also proves that the denim market – which went into decline in the late 1990’s and well-into 2000’s, is set to bounce back for good. Even the appetite for niche designer denim, with pairs of jeans averaging £220 each, is proving insatiable.
