Esteem
FI-AMEI
Esteem is a revolutionary, fully implanted active middle ear implant for people with moderate to severe hearing loss. It is the first and only FDA-approved, fully-implanted active middle ear implant (FI-AMEI) hearing device that enables wearers to have nothing in their ear but sound—allowing them to be fully connected and engaged in life in ways they never thought possible.
Esteem has already been implanted in approximately 1,000 people and has the potential to increase market share following the reintroduction of the Hearing Device Clarification Act, which would allow Medicare coverage as Esteem would be reclassified as a prosthetic device, not a hearing aid. Significant progress is already being made to obtain reimbursement for a previously un-reimbursed device. If reimbursement were to change, market size could become similar to the size of the cochlear implant market over time.
Key features of the Esteem implant include:
Envoy Sensor, which converts vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the implanted Esteem Sound Processor.
Esteem Sound Processor, which receives, adjusts and intensifies the signals to fit individual hearing needs.
Envoy Driver, which directly transfers these signals to the inner ear where the hair cells are stimulated, causing hearing.
