Envoy Medical submits second module of FDA PMA for Acclaim cochlear implant

Envoy Medical Inc. filed the second of four planned modules for its Modular Premarket Approval (PMA) application for the Acclaim fully implanted cochlear implant. The module, which contains primarily engineering information, follows the first submission on June 30, 2026. The company said the final clinical‑data module is expected by the end of the second quarter of 2027.

The filing moves the rolling FDA review halfway forward, reducing regulatory risk for the investigational device. Completion of the final module in Q2 2027 would allow the FDA to complete its review, potentially enabling market entry thereafter.
