May is Better Speech and Hearing Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the widespread impact of hearing loss. It serves as a crucial reminder that hearing loss is not just a common condition but a progressive chronic disease that requires attention and care throughout our lives. Significant advancements are necessary to elevate the lives and quality of life for those impacted by hearing loss and the best people to advocate and educate are those who live with hearing loss and their loved ones. It's time to get actively involved!
Envoy Medical is excited to Celebrate Better Speech and Hearing Month by supporting Northern Voices, a nonprofit organization in Minnesota focused on supporting children with hearing impairments through auditory and spoken language education. Northern Voices hosts their annual Walk for Talk fundraiser on May 4th and Envoy Medical will be sponsoring the event. This year we extend a special invitation to adult Esteem® recipients and their loved ones to participate by sharing the significance of a fully implanted hearing device in their lives.

During Better Speech and Hearing Month, for every patient story shared by Envoy Medical on social media, we will contribute $150 to Northern Voices to support their fundraising efforts. *

The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is the largest national organization representing the 48 million Americans with hearing loss. HLAA's annual fundraiser, Walk4Hearing takes place in 21 cities across the country and kicks off in some cities in May running from Spring to Fall. Look for your city in the link below:

Advocates Needed!
For those who believe fully implanted active middle ear devices like the Esteem should be covered by insurance, the recently introduced Hearing Device Clarification Act needs widespread support. To learn more, visit our advocacy page here.
If you are passionate about sharing your story with the Esteem or getting involved in other advocacy efforts, we would love to connect with you. Reach out to us at info@envoymedical.com if you are interested in getting involved.
We look forward to a successful Better Speech and Hearing Month this year!
