Lyric4
Unlike traditional hearing aids, Lyric is placed deep in the ear canal, making it 100% invisible. It requires no maintenance or batteries to change or charge. Thanks to its unique placement, clients can enjoy the benefits of better hearing without anyone ever knowing they’re using a hearing aid. Clients can simply forget they are wearing a hearing aid.
The Lyric deep in the ear canal placement means it takes advantage of the natural benefit of the ear anatomy to provide a clear, natural sound. Studies show that Lyric is rated as sounding natural when compared to the open ear.2
Lyric is worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for months at a time.3 Your clients can use Lyric during their daily activities, such as showering4, talking on the phone, exercising, using headphones, and even at night while sleeping. Lyric has no batteries to change and requires no maintenance and no daily insertion or removal. Wearing Lyric is so effortless, your clients just might forget they are wearing a hearing aid.
Another benefit of wearing Lyric 24/7 is for those clients who have issues with tinnitus. Lyric reduces tinnitus annoyance faster than daily wear hearing aids5*, provides greater relief from tinnitus than daily wear hearing aids6 and improves sleep quality5.
Lyric helps you differentiate your practice because it is unlike any other hearing aid. The Lyric subscription model delivers a consistent and predictable revenue stream from yearly renewals, while generating more sales opportunities with clients who may not be suitable for Lyric.
Every Lyric subscription comes with SoundLync, a magnetic adjustment tool that allows clients to adjust the volume, turn Lyric on and off, and to put it in sleep mode. Lyric can also be removed, if needed, with SoundLync.
