If you’re suffering from hearing loss and are either considering a hearing aid or already use one, you may be interested in learning more about what is being touted as the smallest hearing aid on the market. Check out the Lyric hearing aid, which is fitted differently than a traditional hearing aid and is unnoticeable.
Traditional hearing aids go over the ear and expose the microphone to wind and other peripheral noise. They can also be seen by others, which is a source of embarrassment or discomfort for some users.
The Lyric hearing aid is fitting inside the ear canal next to the ear drum. It is smaller than a dime and is essentially a miniature microphone, microchip, and a small speaker wrapped in a small layer of foam. Because it is so deep in the ear, it is unnoticeable, and the aid’s shape takes advantage of the natural shape of the ear in order to collect and then process sound. Another benefit of the Lyric hearing aid is that it is worn 24 hours a day, including while taking a shower, exercising, or any other day-to-day activity. Wearers will need to have appointments every two-to-three months to change out the batteries.
See if the Lyric hearing aid is right for you. Also consider protecting the hearing you have with ProHieran, an all-natural hearing wellness supplement.
