"Symphonix is honored to be called out with such distinction by the Politzer Society, the veritable 'who's who' of the international otologic surgery community," said Kirk Davis, president and chief executive officer, Symphonix Devices, Inc. "We're pleased to have created excitement among this prestigious group.
