Hearing loss doesn’t only affect the person who is having trouble hearing, it affects relationships with the people around them as well. Thus, when we spoke to family members of people who wear Lyric hearing aids, they overwhelmingly agreed that Lyric had made a positive impact on their lives.

This week marks National Tinnitus Awareness Week, part of Better Speech and Hearing Month!

Even if you have never heard the term “tinnitus”, chances are that you have experienced it before. Tinnitus is the medical term for a sensation that people often describe as “ringing in the ears” although descriptions of “hissing”, “chirping”, “whistling” or “clicking” sounds are not unusual. Tinnitus is extremely common; one third of all adults experience tinnitus at some time in their lives and about 10-15% of adults have prolonged tinnitus that requires medical evaluation.*

Did you know that the average person with hearing loss waits over 10 years after their initial hearing loss diagnosis to treat it*? In the meantime, hearing loss can significantly affect quality of life. Not only can hearing loss impact relationships with loved ones, it can directly affect quality of life in measurable ways.

In NPR’s piece, “Listen Up to Smarter, Smaller Hearing Aids”, they discuss advanced new hearing aid features like “directional listening”. That capability helps with something that audiologists or hearing health professionals refer to as “sound localization” – the ability to tell where sounds are coming from.

Lyric wearers are raving about Lyric hearing aid sound quality. 86% of Lyric hearing aid wearers agree that Lyric’s sound quality is “very natural” and another 91% of Lyric wearers are “very satisfied” with Lyric’s sound quality.
