Phonak Lyric

While Phonak quickly became a leader of electronic hearing aids, it pioneered the first hearing aid to feature a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery, giving users a whole day’s worth of hearing aid power.

When Phonak introduced the Lyric hearing aid it signalled a brand new era for the hearing aid market. While the Lyric is the world’s only entirely invisible hearing aid currently available, it is also the only hearing aid that you leave in your ears all day and all night for up to three months. It can be worn continuously for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without having to be removed. Despite not needing to take them out, you still have control over your hearing aids with the SoundLync remote control.

With the Lyric always in your ears, you can enjoy exceptional sound quality while going about each day forgetting that you even have hearing loss. You don’t have to think about putting them in and taking them out every day or even changing the battery. After you’ve worn them for around three months, your hearing care professional will remove the device, clean your ears and put in a new Lyric hearing aid that has been specifically programmed to your hearing prescription. You don’t need to do anything else. You can enjoy all your usual activities without worrying about your hearing aids, from showering and exercising, to speaking on the phone and even sleeping – all with the hearing aids in your ears.

With the Lyric hearing aids always in your ears, your auditory system is being constantly stimulated while the sounds around you are continuously amplified. For people who experience tinnitus, commonly known as ringing in the ears, the Lyric can provide in-depth tinnitus relief and also help to improve your quality of sleep.

The cost of a Lyric device will largely depend on where you live and is only sold through certified providers on a subscription basis, so while a hearing care provider such as Costco may sell Phonak products, the lyric hearing aid Costco currently doesn’t sell. The Lyric’s yearly subscription provides you with new devices each time you have the hearing aid replaced.
