Explanation of Responses:
(1) Held by J.P. Morgan Capital, L.P., a limited partnership of which J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation is the general partner.
J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated. As a result, J.P. Morgan & Co.
Incorporated may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in the shares held by J.P. Morgan Capital, L.P.
(2) In the event that the market price of Symphonix Devices, Inc. ("Symphonix") declines, Symphonix may be required to issue
additional shares of Common Stock to investors, including J.P. Morgan Capital, L.P., 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.
