Hmm, that's a dick move. They were called cochlear implants before a company decided to call themselves "Cochlear".

Just in case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlea

I know there's a part in the ear called the cochlea but I thought the company just added the letter r to the word and made that their name; I didn't know the word existed before the company. Thanks!
