The possible sale had drawn protest from Siemens workers as well as some supervisory board members, who said Siemens should keep the business because it is profitable. Siemens has in past years disposed of consumer oriented operations including mobile phones, and put businesses such as household appliances into joint ventures. The German company doesn't disclose sales for hearing aids. The unit may have annual revenue of about 680 million euros, according to estimates by Daniel Jelovcan, a health care products analyst at Helvea AG in Zurich.
