From Wikipedia
Oticon is a Danish hearing aid manufacturer based near Copenhagen in Denmark. The company is a subsidiary of Demant A/S. It was founded in 1904 by Hans Demant, whose wife was hearing impaired. Oticon has branches in several countries, including a production plant in Poland, with more than 3,000 employees worldwide. The company claims to be the world's second-largest manufacturer of hearing aids, and it uses a management style known as "spaghetti organization", which was introduced by Lars Kolind under his leadership between 1988 and 1998. In 2018 Oticon was fined AUD$2.5 million and they were forced to apologise for misleading customers in Australia about hearing aids and their technology.
