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
Distributor	3	12%	Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH).
Registration holder	8	33%	Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder).
Manufacturer	23	96%	Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations.
Exporter	10	42%	Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export.

An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.

Who holds the registration in Switzerland

In Switzerland a manufacturer based outside the country needs a Swiss authorised representative (CH-REP) and a Swiss importer, both named on the labelling. The CH-REP can be independent of the distributor.

This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
