Hearing loss is a challenge faced by millions worldwide, but the stigma around wearing hearing aids can lead some people to avoid seeking help. Invisible hearing aids offer a discrete solution, combining advanced technology with the comfort of near invisibility.
Among these, the Phonak Lyric is a popular option that offers exceptional hearing. Here’s what you need to know about invisible hearing aids so you can make an informed decision about your hearing health.
What Are Invisible Hearing Aids?
Invisible hearing aids are designed to fit entirely within the ear canal, making them virtually undetectable to the outside observer. These devices are custom-fitted for comfort and can suit various degrees of hearing loss. The ability to wear them without anyone noticing gives an added level of confidence and normalcy to the lives of those with hearing impairments.
The Benefits of Going Invisible
The concept of ‘seeing is believing’ doesn’t apply too well to invisible hearing aids –you might not see them, but their benefits are undeniable. Here’s why they’re an excellent choice for many:
Discretion
The biggest draw for invisible hearing aids is their discreet nature. They cater to users who might feel self-conscious about wearing more noticeable devices. By sitting deep within the ear canal, these hearing aids can’t be seen.
Natural Sound Quality
Because of their placement close to the eardrum, invisible hearing aids often provide a more natural sound. They also reduce the effects of wind noise, which is a common issue with some behind-the-ear models.
Everyday Convenience
Most models are designed for long-term wear, even during activities such as sleeping or showering. This means you can go about your daily life without the interruption of removing and reinserting your hearing aids.
Minimal Maintenance
Many invisible hearing aids are low maintenance. They often don’t require daily insertion and removal, which reduces the wear and tear from handling and reduces the risk of losing the device. You’ll just need to get them cleaned and serviced when you change batteries every few months.
Phonak Lyric: Our Favorite Invisible Hearing Aid
Within the category of invisible hearing aids, the Phonak Lyric stands out. Dubbed as the world’s first 100% invisible hearing aid, the Lyric offers exceptional sound quality and convenience. Phonak Lyric is a cut above the rest for several reasons. Its unique design and various features cater to the lifestyle demands of the modern wearer.
100% Invisible
The Lyric is placed deep in the ear canal by a trained professional and is completely invisible from the outside. This placement not only makes it undetectable but also leverages the ear’s anatomy to funnel sound to the device, providing a natural listening experience.
Extended Wear
One of the standout innovations of the Lyric is its extended-wear capability. Unlike daily wear hearing aids, the Lyric can be worn 24/7 for months at a time. This includes while exercising, showering, and sleeping, without the need for battery changes.
Effortless Hearing
With the Lyric, there is no need for manual adjustments. Once placed, the device works automatically. It offers a hassle-free, consistent hearing experience without the need to remove the device.
Natural Sound Quality
Lyric hearing aids capitalize on the natural acoustics of the ear. Users often report a fuller, more natural sound with fewer occlusion effects than experienced with other hearing aids.
User Considerations
While the Lyric offers many advantages, there are factors to consider when selecting it as your hearing solution:
- Professional Fitting: The Lyric requires professional fitting by a trained hearing health specialist. The fitting process ensures maximum comfort and functionality.
- Collaboration With a Health professional: Phonak Lyric devices need to be inserted and removed by a professional. You’ll need to collaborate with your hearing health specialist to insert and remove the device every few months when you need new batteries.
- Not Suitable for All: Lyric is not suitable for every type of hearing loss. It is best for individuals with mild to moderately severe hearing loss. Your hearing health professional will let you know whether this device is an appropriate choice for you.
