Envoy Medical Announces Inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index

WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN, July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Envoy Medical®, Inc. (“Envoy Medical”) (Nasdaq: COCH), a revolutionary hearing health company focused on fully implanted hearing systems, announces that FTSE Russell has selected the Company’s shares for inclusion in its Microcap Index. The inclusion became effective at the close of market on Friday, June 28, 2024. 

The Russell Microcap® Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the US equity market. A wide range of microcap ETFs follow this benchmark and may reweight their holdings over the coming weeks for changes that occurred in this Index effective as of June 28. 

“Our addition to the Russell Microcap Index is another important step in building more awareness about Envoy Medical and the potential high-growth opportunity ahead with our fully implanted hearing technologies,” said Envoy Medical Chief Executive Officer Brent Lucas. “We believe that we have an exciting story with a bright future ahead of us and look forward to more investors becoming aware of our story through the addition to this index.”

About the Fully Implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant

We believe the fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant (“Acclaim CI”) will be a first-of-its-kind fully implanted cochlear implant. Envoy Medical’s fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound.

The Acclaim CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI is expected to be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician.

The Acclaim Cochlear Implant received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. We believe the Acclaim CI was the first hearing-focused device to receive Breakthrough Device Designation.

CAUTION The fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant is an investigational device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.

About the Esteem® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (FI-AMEI)

The Esteem fully implanted active middle ear implant (FI-AMEI) is the only FDA-approved, fully implanted* hearing device for adults diagnosed with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss allowing for 24/7 hearing capability using the ear’s natural anatomy.  The Esteem FI-AMEI hearing implant is invisible and requires no externally worn components and nothing is placed in the ear canal for it to function.  Unlike hearing aids, you never put it on or take it off. You can’t lose it. You don’t clean it. The Esteem FI-AMEI hearing implant offers true 24/7 hearing.

*Once activated, the external Esteem FI-AMEI Personal Programmer is not required for daily use.
