Investor presentation summary
5 Nov, 2026Investment highlights and product design
Acclaim CI is an investigational, fully implanted cochlear implant designed to pick up sound through the natural ear pathway, with no external processor or visible head hardware.
Differentiators include a piezoelectric middle-ear sensor, a larger-capacity chest battery, no magnets, and compatibility with in-ear consumer electronics; MRI compatibility remains untested.
The rechargeable battery is expected to last several days between charges; presentation estimates average charging every 4+ days based on initial data.
Acclaim CI uses sensor technology from the FDA-approved Esteem implant, which has been implanted in ~1,000 patients at ~20 sites globally.
The existing CI market is estimated at ~$2B annual sales, based on an assumption of ~77,000 units sold in 2025 at a $25,000 ASP.
Market opportunity
Estimated U.S. CI candidate population is ~2.8M adults; only ~5% of adults who could benefit have received an implant, leaving 95% of the adult market untapped.
Estimated U.S. TAM is $84B; if approved, Acclaim CI pricing is anticipated at ~$30K versus ~$25K for current U.S. implants.
Market growth drivers include an aging population, expanding candidacy, increasing awareness, and bilateral implantation by ~30% of adult patients.
U.S. clinically relevant hearing loss affects 14% of Americans; the population with hearing loss is projected to rise from 44M in 2020 to over 73M by 2060.
Clinical and regulatory progress
Pivotal trial enrollment completed March 11, 2026, with all 56 patients implanted and activated across seven sites; the first three patients reached the 12-month endpoint.
May 2026 interim six-month data showed no serious adverse events and CNC word recognition improvement from 15.2% to 39.2%.
The primary effectiveness endpoint compares each patient's 12-month CNC word score with their pre-operative aided score; patients serve as their own control.
All 56 patients are expected to complete 12-month follow-up in Q1 2027; PMA submission is expected in Q2 2027, with an FDA decision and launch anticipated in 2027.
Acclaim CI received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation in 2019 and an IDE for its pivotal clinical study; use is limited to investigational purposes.
