Overview
Company Summary
Envoy Medical Inc. (COCH) is a medical technology company that specializes in developing innovative solutions for individuals with hearing loss. The company is primarily known for its flagship product, the Esteem Hearing Implant.
The Esteem Hearing Implant is a unique device that offers a hearing restoration solution for individuals suffering from sensorineural hearing loss, which is the most prevalent type of hearing impairment. Unlike traditional hearing aids that sit in or behind the ear, the Esteem Hearing Implant is surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear.
The implant works by leveraging the natural ear anatomy to deliver optimized sound directly to the middle ear. It consists of three main components: a Sound Processor, a Sensor, and a Driver. The Sound Processor captures sound from the environment and converts it into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted wirelessly to the Sensor, which is implanted under the skin. The Sensor sends the signals to the Driver, which converts them into mechanical vibrations that stimulate the middle ear, bypassing the damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulating the auditory structures.
This unique approach offers several advantages over traditional hearing aids. The Esteem Hearing Implant provides a completely invisible solution, as it is surgically implanted and hidden beneath the skin. It also eliminates the need for daily maintenance, such as battery changes or inserting and removing hearing devices. Additionally, the Esteem Hearing Implant provides enhanced sound quality and speech understanding, as it leverages the natural structures of the ear.
Envoy Medical's mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with hearing loss by providing them with a discreet, effective, and long-term solution. The company's dedication to innovation and their focus on patient satisfaction sets them apart in the field of hearing restoration technology.
