Processing Technology and Features
Lyric is the world’s first extended-wear hearing aid, well suited for highly active individuals. The device is 100 percent invisible because it is placed deep in the ear canal by a qualified audiologist or ENT doctor.
No more changing batteries, recharging, cleaning, and maintenance. Its unique placement allows you to enjoy the benefits of better hearing without anyone ever knowing that you use a hearing aid.
Lyric produces clear, natural sound that outperforms most open-fit hearing devices while allowing you to continue daily activities, like showering, talking on the phone, exercising, using headphones, and sleeping, without having to remove your hearing device.
Later-generation models include a smaller media module designed to help improve wearing comfort, and some allow for self-removal and self-insertion.
Additional Key Features
Allows you to use any type of phone, headphones or earbuds like normal
Reduces tinnitus annoyance faster than daily wear hearing aids while also providing greater tinnitus relief to improve sleep quality and daytime productivity
Subscriptions come with SoundLync, a magnetic adjustment tool used to adjust the volume, turn the device on and off, set up sleep mode, and remove the device if necessary
