ASX MARKET RELEASE

NHS UPDATE – Scotland and Northern Ireland


HIGHLIGHTS
• IQbuds BOOST™ placed on NHS Scotland (incorporating Northern Ireland region) hearing
contract.
• Placed under Hearables category of contract and available immediately.

Date – 20 June 2019 – Perth, Australia

Nuheara Limited (ASX: NUH) ("Company" or "Nuheara"), transforming the way people hear
by creating smart hearing solutions that are accessible and affordable, is pleased to announce
that IQbuds BOOST™ has successfully been placed on the NHS Scotland hearing contract
(which also incorporates the Northern Ireland region) under the Hearables category, Lot 5 –
Hearable and Wearable.

Under the NHS Scotland Framework, the Hearables category specifically caters for devices
that are primarily intended to allow streaming of media to the device but that also offer a
hearing enhancing function not dissimilar to a hearing aid.

IQbuds BOOST™ are immediately available under the framework and will be supplied and
supported under the contract via Nuheara’s UK distributor Puretone.

There are 14 NHS Health Boards within NHS Scotland and also incorporates the Healthcare
Trust’s with NHS Northern Ireland.

In relation to the English NHS categorisation process of IQbuds BOOST™, the matter is still in
discussion and Nuheara will provide an update when it is able. For reference, unlike the
Scottish NHS contract, there is currently no Hearables Category within the English NHS
contract.

Commenting on the NHS developments Nuheara CEO, Justin Miller, said,” We are delighted
that, with immediate effect, we can begin supplying NHS in Scotland and Northern Ireland
with IQbuds BOOST™.

“We take great confidence that health agencies such as NHS Scotland, see a growing need to
now separately categorise hearable products within their hearing programs. This is leading
to a change in the status quo and influence of the current hearing device industry. More
importantly, it is a major boost to our Company’s future and aspiration to be a global hearing
leader by providing more functional, affordable and accessible hearable products.”
