Lyric® Hearing has been featured in the December issue of Popular Science as one of the “Best of What’s New” innovations for 2009. Every year Popular Science finds the best 100 innovations and highlights them in this issue, only 12 “innovations” were chosen in the “Health” category, and hundreds of entries were reviewed. Lyric was the only hearing aid that won this award. It is a privilege to have been included in this publication. The Lyric hearing aid is considered “innovative” because the first hearing aid that can be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to 4 months at a time.

Here is an excerpt from the article: “The Lyric hearing aid is the first you can wear for months straight without surgical implantation. Sitting just a sixth of an inch from the eardrum, closer than any other hearing aid, it maximizes use of the entire outer ear to capture sound naturally. On the speaker end, the short distance to the eardrum reduces distortion. The user adjusts volume levels or turns it on or off by holding a small magnetic wand up to it. Patients replace the used Lyric every three to four months during a quick visit to the audiologist.”
