Ear, nose and throat covers hearing devices, cochlear implants, sinus and laryngology instruments, and audiology equipment. Hearing aids often go through retail audiology chains rather than hospital distributors, so the establishment list mixes both. Volumes per establishment are smaller than in surgery.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |

| Manufacturer | 14 | 100% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
