NewsfileCompany Completes Historic Trial Enrollment, Secures Transformational Financing, and Sees Promising Early Clinical Data Presented at Industry ConferencesWhite Bear Lake, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2026) - Envoy Medical® Inc. (NASDAQ: COCH) ("Envoy Medical" or the "Company"), a hearing health company pioneering fully implanted hearing solutions, today reported first quarter 2026 results and landmark achievements that advance the Company another step closer toward commercialization of its investigational Acclaim® cochlear implant."The first quarter of 2026 marked a transformative period for Envoy Medical, highlighted by the completion of enrollment in our pivotal clinical trial and the successful execution of a significant financing," said Brent Lucas, Chief Executive Officer of Envoy Medical. "Achieving full enrollment in our pivotal clinical study represents a critical step. We continue to be encouraged by the trial's progress and remain focused on advancing toward PMA submission and, ultimately, commercialization. With a substantially strengthened balance sheet and the support of leading healthcare investors, we believe we are well positioned to execute on our strategic objectives and deliver on the roadmap ahead."Corporate and Financial Highlights for Q1 2026:Pivotal Trial Enrollment Complete — A First for the Industry
In a defining milestone for the hearing health sector, Envoy Medical became the first cochlear implant company to achieve full enrollment of a U.S. pivotal clinical trial evaluating a fully implanted cochlear implant seeking FDA approval. The 56th and final patient was successfully implanted on March 11, 2026, completing enrollment across U.S. sites. The Company is now collecting 12-month follow-up data from all participants, with a Premarket Approval (PMA) submission to the FDA to follow.Transformational Capital Raise
Envoy Medical closed an upsized public offering for up to $78.0 million, including $30.0 million in gross proceeds at closing with up to an additional $48.0 million of potential aggregate gross proceeds upon the exercise in full of milestone-linked warrants. The financing was led by Nantahala Capital and included healthcare-dedicated funds such as Broadfin Holdings, as well as existing shareholders including members of the Board and management team.Expanded Intellectual Property Portfolio
As of February 20, 2026, Envoy Medical has expanded its global IP portfolio to 47 patents across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In February alone, the Company secured three new patents strengthening its competitive position in the fully implanted hearing space.Highlights Subsequent to Q1 2026:Promising Early Clinical Data Presented
Interim six-month clinical data from the first 10 patients in the pivotal study showed no study-defined serious adverse events, mean CNC word recognition improved from 15.2% to 39.2%, median daily device wear time of 24 hours, and improvements in quality-of-life and tinnitus scores. Initial safety and performance data for these 10 patients were presented at the American Academy of Audiology Annual Conference and the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings.All 56 Pivotal Trial Patients Activated
Following the completion of enrollment, Envoy Medical confirmed that all 56 patients implanted in the pivotal clinical trial have been activated. This milestone validates that the full patient cohort is progressing through the study protocol on schedule, keeping the Company on track to collect the 12-month endpoint data required for its planned PMA submission to the FDA.Board StrengthenedEnvoy Medical appointed medical device veteran Chas McKhann to its Board of Directors in April 2026, further enhancing the Company's expertise as it prepares to conclude its pivotal clinical study and prepare for commercial launch.First Patients Reach 12-Month Endpoint
The first three patients implanted in the pivotal trial successfully completed their 12-month endpoint visit, marking a key milestone in the study's progress. The primary endpoints for the trial are tied to 12-month data, and achieving this critical milestone on schedule underscores the Company's continued execution as it steadily marches toward PMA submission and commercialization.Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026 (dollars in thousands):Net Revenue was $39 for the three months ended March 31, 2026.Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $313, compared to $226. The $87 increase is primarily due to higher scrap and materials usage as well as increased fees for third-parties performing work related to our products.R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $3,642 compared to $2,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase of $894 mainly reflects additional clinical trial activity and related personnel costs during enrollment.Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $164 compared to $358 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $194 is primarily due to the reallocation of resources to research and development activities in support of the clinical trial.General and administrative expenses are $1,879 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $58 was primarily due to higher investor relations and legal expenses.As of March 31, 2026, cash was approximately $25,251.The Acclaim® cochlear implant received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2019 and is currently under investigation as part of a U.S. based pivotal clinical trial.

Envoy Medical Highlights First Clinical Data Presentations from Pivotal Clinical Study of Fully Implanted Acclaim(R) Cochlear ImplantApril 28, 2026 8:30 AM
NewsfilePositive Initial 6-Month Data from First 10 Patients and Improvements in Speech Understanding and Quality of Life Scores Presented; Additional Presentations Scheduled in Early MayDetails to be Discussed During Fireside Chat on April 29, 2026 at 4:30 pm ETWhite Bear Lake, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2026) - Envoy Medical® Inc. (NASDAQ: COCH) ("Envoy Medical" or the "Company"), a hearing health company pioneering fully implanted hearing solutions, today announced the first podium presentations of clinical data from the first stage of its pivotal clinical study of the investigational Acclaim® cochlear implant, a first-of-its-kind, fully implanted cochlear implant system. The Company will host a Fireside Chat with Dr. Theodore McRackan, MD, MSCR and Dr. Elizabeth Camposeo, AuD from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) on Wednesday April 29, 2026 at 4:30 pm ET to review the data and its clinical implications.A planned interim analysis of the clinical data for the first 10 patients was conducted following completion of their six-month follow-up visits. Initial safety and performance data were presented this past weekend by Dr. Camposeo at the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) Annual Conference and Dr. McRackan at the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings (COSM). Additional podium presentations are scheduled for May including the American Cochlear Implant Alliance (ACIA) Conference on Friday, May 8, 2026, and the International Conference on Cochlear Implants and Other Implantable Technologies (CI2026) on Monday, May 11, 2026."We are encouraged by the initial data from the first stage of the investigational Acclaim® clinical study being presented across several industry conferences," said Brent Lucas, Chief Executive Officer of Envoy Medical. "In addition to promising early safety and performance signals, we are seeing evidence of a strong interest in a fully implanted solution. Many participants had previously declined traditional cochlear implants due to the required use of an external processor, underscoring the potential for the Acclaim cochlear implant to expand the addressable market. While the study remains ongoing and these interim results are preliminary, the data reinforces our belief in the clinical and commercial promise of a fully implanted approach."

This was a noticeable increase from their pre-operative median of 15.5 hours a day with hearing aids.Drivers of Choice to ParticipateParticipants were surveyed to understand why they previously declined traditional cochlear implants. Top responses included:Not wanting to wear an external processor (80%).Concern that an external processor would draw unwanted attention (70%). Discomfort with external processor size (60%).Participants were surveyed to understand their motivations for choosing a fully implanted cochlear implant system. Top responses included:Wanted the ability to hear during water activities, exercise, or while wearing headgear (100%).Wanted to be able to hear 24-hours a day with device (100%).Wanted an invisible, fully implanted device (90%). Quality of LifePatients demonstrated improvements in quality-of-life scores as measured by the CI-QOL35, a validated cochlear implant-specific quality of life instrument.Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI)Four patients who reported having tinnitus prior to surgery experienced a reduction in tinnitus as assessed by the Tinnitus Handicap Instrument (THI). For these patients, mean THI scores decreased from 24.5 pre-implant to 6.25 in 6 months.Upcoming Conference PresentationsAmerican Cochlear Implant Alliance (ACIA) Conference - Friday, May 8, 2026International Conference on Cochlear Implants and Other Implantable Technologies (CI2026) - Monday, May 11, 2026The Acclaim® cochlear implant received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2019 and is currently under investigation as part of a U.S. based pivotal clinical trial.

NewsfileCompany Remains on Schedule for PMA Submission to FDAWhite Bear Lake, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2026) - Envoy Medical®, Inc. (NASDAQ: COCH) ("Envoy Medical"), a hearing health company pioneering fully implanted hearing solutions, announced that the first three patients implanted in its pivotal clinical trial for the fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant have successfully completed their 12-month endpoint visit, marking a key milestone in the study's progress.The first three pivotal trial patients implanted at the start of 2025 are now the first to reach the 12-month follow-up evaluation point. The primary endpoints for the trial are tied to 12-month data. Achieving this critical milestone on schedule underscores the Company's continued execution as it steadily marches towards commercialization."We are thrilled to highlight the first wave of trial participants successfully reaching and completing their 12-month endpoint," said Brent Lucas, CEO of Envoy Medical. "We believe our first-of-its-kind breakthrough technology has the potential to change the perception around how severe to profound hearing loss is treated and potentially increase adoption rates. Now that the trial has been fully enrolled and we are beginning to collect 12-month data, the future of hearing implants may be closer than you realize."After all trial participants complete their 12-month evaluations, Envoy Medical plans to submit its Premarket Approval (PMA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).The Acclaim® cochlear implant is an investigational, first-of-its-kind fully implanted device designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss without externally worn components.

Envoy Medical Completes Enrollment of Pivotal Clinical Trial Evaluating First-Of-Its-Kind Fully Implanted Cochlear ImplantMarch 11, 2026 8:00 AM
NewsfileFirst Cochlear Implant Company to Announce Completed Enrollment of a U.S. Pivotal Clinical Trial for a Fully Implanted Cochlear Implant seeking FDA ApprovalWhite Bear Lake, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2026) - Envoy Medical® Inc. (NASDAQ: COCH) ("Envoy Medical" or the "Company"), a hearing health company pioneering fully implanted hearing solutions, today announced completed enrollment of its pivotal clinical trial for the investigational fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant. With the successful implantation of the 56th and final patient, Envoy Medical is the first cochlear implant company to achieve full enrollment of a U.S. pivotal clinical trial to evaluate a fully implanted cochlear implant seeking FDA approval. "Completing enrollment of a pivotal clinical trial that is evaluating a breakthrough-designated medical device that has the potential to bring about generational change to an entire industry is a very big deal," said Brent Lucas, Chief Executive Officer of Envoy Medical, "We strongly believe in our device design and look forward to gathering additional data throughout the trial as we substantially differentiate ourselves from the competition. We believe today brings us significantly closer to redefining the standard of care for adults with severe to profound hearing loss and potentially growing the overall cochlear implant user base to include those patients who could benefit from a cochlear implant but have sat on the sidelines waiting for a fully implanted solution."The final two study participants were both implanted yesterday by Dr. Patrick Antonelli at the University of Florida. With these procedures, Dr. Antonelli became the second leading enroller in the trial, having implanted 11 of the 56 participants."Participating in the Acclaim Cochlear Implant Pivotal Trial has been an eye opener for me," Dr. Antonelli shared, "I've been placing traditional cochlear implants for so long-over 30 years-and these devices evolved so little over that time that I didn't give much thought to how dramatically they could be improved. The Acclaim changed that." Dr. Antonelli continued, "People with profound hearing loss desperately want to be able to hear 24 x 7 without having to wear an external processor. Others have been reluctant to get a cochlear implant because of the stigma they feel with an external processor. I think just about every Acclaim recipient that we've enrolled in this study said, often tearfully, 'you've really made my day,' when I told them they were cleared to get the Acclaim. Tears of joy followed activation as well. It's been a real privilege to be able to offer the Acclaim cochlear implant to our patients in this clinical trial. I am delighted that completion of study enrollment brings us a step closer to FDA approval and hopefully being able to offer the Acclaim to all of our properly qualified patients." With enrollment completed, the study will now progress through scheduled follow-up visits and data collection in accordance with the trial protocol. Once 12-month follow up data has been collected for all patients, the data will then be analyzed and submitted to the FDA as part of a PMA application seeking FDA approval. Subject to FDA review and approval, commercialization in the United States would follow.Envoy Medical believes it is the first cochlear implant manufacturer to complete enrollment in a U.S. pivotal trial for a fully implanted cochlear implant, positioning the Company at the forefront of this next generation of hearing technology. The Acclaim® cochlear implant received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2019 and is currently under investigation as part of a U.S. based pivotal clinical trial. For more information on the trial, visit www.envoymedical.com/acclaim-pivotal.To be added to the Envoy Medical email distribution list, please email Envoy@kcsa.com with COCH in the subject line.About Envoy Medical, Inc.
Envoy Medical (NASDAQ: COCH) is a hearing health company focused on providing innovative technologies across the hearing loss spectrum. Envoy Medical has pioneered one-of-a-kind, fully implanted devices for hearing loss, including its fully implanted Esteem® active middle ear implant, commercially available in the U.S. since 2010, and the fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant, an investigational device. Envoy Medical is dedicated to pushing hearing technology beyond the status quo to improve access, usability, compliance, and ultimately quality of life.About the Fully Implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant
We believe the fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant ("Acclaim CI") is a first-of-its-kind hearing device. 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.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.Important safety information for the Esteem FI-AMEI can be found at: https://www.envoymedical.com/safety-information.Additional Information and Where to Find It
