AB Receives Health Canada Approval for the HiRes 90K Implant

****Update: Health Canada Approval for Return to Market in Canada****

Advanced Bionics HiRes 90K Cochlear Implant

June 3, 2011

Advanced Bionics is pleased to announce that we have received approval from

the Canadian notified body, Health Canada, to resume distribution of the

HiRes

90KT implant in Canada. Please note that our ability to provide implants to

cochlear implant centers will vary due to limited supply in the initial

weeks of market

re-entry. Your local Advanced Bionics representative will keep you informed

as we

prepare to resume HiRes 90K implant distribution to your centers.

Thank you for your patience and support as we resolve the HiRes 90K implant

recall

and return to markets across the globe. AB remains dedicated to making a

difference in the lives of those impacted by hearing loss.

If you have any questions about the HiRes 90K recall, please contact

Advanced

Bionics.
