Envoy Medical published article on fully implanted cochlear implants

Envoy Medical highlighted a recently published article in the Current Otorhinolaryngology Reports. The article, titled, “Fully Implanted Cochlear Implants,” was authored by Dr. Eric Babajanian, Dr. James Dornhoffer, and Dr. Colin Driscoll from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Authors describe it as a review of the current state of fully implanted cochlear implants, including some of the challenges, limitations and breakthroughs. The authors discuss the important influence middle ear implants have had on the development of fully implanted cochlear implants: “Many of the advancements in this area have contributed to the development of a FICI, primarily with the development of various microphone technologies that bypass the need for a separate external microphone.” The article goes on to say that Envoy Medical’s fully implanted active middle ear implant, the Esteem device, is the only fully implanted active middle ear implant currently commercially available. Envoy Medical believes its commercial experience with the Esteem fully implanted sensor technology provides it with an important competitive advantage in the marketplace.
