Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)  See Cover Pages,  Items 11 and 13. JPMCLP may be deemed to beneficially own
     1,845,540 shares of Common Stock constituting  approximately  9.375% of the
     issued and outstanding Common Stock of Symphonix.

As Sixty Wall Corp. is the general  partner of Sixty Wall,  Sixty Wall Corp. may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Common Stock  beneficially  owned by
Sixty Wall.

As JPMCC and Sixty Wall Corp. are each wholly owned subsidiaries of JPM, JPM may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Common Stock  beneficially  owned by
each of JPMCC and Sixty Wall Corp.

(b)  See Cover Pages,  Items 7 through 10. JPMCLP is the direct beneficial owner
     of 1,845,540  shares of Common Stock.  Sixty Wall is the direct  beneficial
     owner of 615,090 shares of Common Stock.

(c)  Except as  described in Item 4 hereof,  neither  JPMCLP nor Sixty Wall have
     during the past 60 days, engaged in any transactions in the Common Stock.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer.

None of the Reporting Persons have any contracts,  arrangements,  understandings
or  relationships   with  Symphonix  or  with  any  other  person  with  respect
specifically to the securities of Symphonix, except as set forth below.

The  description of the Purchase  Agreement set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby
incorporated by reference.  As described in Item 4, JPMCLP  purchased  2,460,630
shares of Common Stock  pursuant to the  Purchase  Agreement,  of which  615,090
shares of Common Stock were  subsequently  transferred to Sixty Wall. JPMCLP has
the right to maintain its percentage interest in the total number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of Symphonix in the event of future sales by Symphonix of
additional  shares of securities from Symphonix under the terms specified in the
Purchase Agreement.  As a transferee,  Sixty Wall also has the right to maintain
its  percentage  interest in the total  number of  outstanding  shares of Common
Stock of  Symphonix  in the event of future  sales by  Symphonix  of  additional
shares of securities  from Symphonix  under the terms  specified in the Purchase
Agreement.

In addition, in the event that the market price of Symphonix declines, Symphonix
may be  required  to issue  additional  shares  of  Common  Stock to  investors,
including  JPMCLP  and Sixty  Wall,  at no  additional  cost to those  investors
pursuant to a purchase price  adjustment.  The purchase price adjustment  allows
the investors, at any time until November 10, 2002, to calculate an adjusted per
share  purchase  price equal to the average  closing  market price of the common
stock as  reported  on the  Nasdaq  National  Market for the  thirty-three  (33)
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the adjustment. Those
investors who desire to  participate  in this  purchase  price  adjustment  will
receive  additional  shares of common stock equal to the difference  between the
number of shares which each investor could have purchased  based on the adjusted
per share purchase price at the investor's  original  investment  amount and the
number of shares  originally  purchased.  Each  investor  may  participate  in a
purchase  price  adjustment  only once during the  two-year  period.  A possible
consequence of the  investors'  right to adjust their purchase price is that the
investors  could,  in the  aggregate,  control a majority of the voting power of
Symphonix.

The description  contained in this Item 6 of the Purchase Agreement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement which is
incorporated by reference herein and is filed as Exhibit A hereto.
