"I’m very vain, I mean I’ll admit it you know I’m from that era and I couldn’t possibly have hearing aids if people can see them, even the others that were really hidden. And I was really self conscious constantly trying to wonder if the tube was showing. These, nobody can see these, the Lyric is terrific I mean, nobody can see it."
Stu, Lyric Wearer
"It really is important to me not to have unsightly hearing aids. I didn't think about that in the beginning, I was accustom to wearing them and it didn't bother me. It's so much nicer not to have them now and I would not like to have to go back to having hearing aids that show and no one needs to know I have them."
Dale, Lyric Wearer
"Men are vain, just like women and, you know, we don’t want to look like we are getting older. The first tell sign of age is wearing a hearing aid, so yes, it’s very important that we wear hearing aids, but we also like to have it so they don’t see them."
Pete, Lyric Wearer
"I believe anyone does not want to have a hearing aid visible and with this one, there’s absolutely no way anyone could see it even if they get right up to my ear and try to see it."
Cookie, Lyric Wearer
"It is very convenient to leave the Lyric hearing aid in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and not have to worry about replacing batteries which I have had problems when I’ve gone out of the country and forgotten to bring extra batteries with me."
Dale, Lyric Wearer
"Your life changes. It’s like going back to normal in as much as you don’t have to think about if it’s raining, you don’t have to put on a hat because you can’t get the hearing aids wet. You don’t have to worry about wearing the hearing aids into the shower which I have done."
Dave, Lyric Wearer
"When I go to bed at night I don’t have to take it off and that is beneficial obviously for hearing things, but also from a physical stand point. Lyric is the best thing that‘s happened to my hearing since it started going."
Jim, Lyric Wearer
"I completely forget about my hearing loss because you never take it out, you never put it back, you feel like a regular person you’re all whole again."
Pete, Lyric Wearer
"A traditional hearing aid, you take out. If you don’t it’ll fall out in the bed, on the pillow and then you got to look for it at night whereas the Lyric, the doctor s it and you keep it in 24 hours a day. It’s the most wonderful thing to be able to wake up in the night and hear the sounds of your house."
Libby, Lyric Wearer
"Showering is not a problem, traveling is not a problem, being on an airplane is not a problem which I was worried about because I travel and the Lyric’s been fantastic. It’s very adjustable to my lifestyle and to what I do."
Stu, Lyric Wearer
"If you are going to address your hearing loss, this is the ultimate solution – hassle free with excellent sound quality. And perfect cosmetics – no daily insertion or batteries to change and with such excellent sound quality you’ve started a revolution in hearing care."
William S. Diles, M.A., Kenwood Hearing Solutions
"We have the natural acoustics of the ear aiding the system and giving the person more natural sound and directionality, they’re able to hear better in noise and actually hear with less volume in the instrument, so it’s a very clear sound."
William S. Diles, M.A., Kenwood Hearing Solutions
"Lyric came into existence as a unique collaboration between groups of scientists, engineers and physicians who all had a common vision of trying to produce the best possible hearing aid and we started on the assumption of: What does the patient really need? What does a hearing aid user want and desire in a hearing aid?"
"We all knew that getting a hearing aid to deliver sound as close to the ear drum as possible made for the most natural sounding amplification. We felt that the only way that could be appropriately done would be to build a device small enough to place near the eardrum and allow a patient to wear the device 24/7 for a period of months."
Dr. Robert Schindler Chairman Emeritus, Dept of Otolaryngology, UCSF, Founding Director, InSound Medical & Lyric Wearer
"The Lyric device produces a sound quality that is always described as natural because the entire instrument the microphone, the receiver element, the output of the speaker is all placed within the ear canal, which means that the natural funneling effect, for example of the pinna that helps gather sound into the ear, is all there. And the output of the speaker is very close to the ear drum. So the first thing the patients will notice with the InSound device is that they no longer have an occlusion effect. They don't have that sense that their ear is plugged in some way."
Dr. Robert Schindler Chairman Emeritus, Dept of Otolaryngology, UCSF, Founding Director, InSound Medical & Lyric Wearer
"I've spent my career trying to make possible that which everyone else thought was impossible which is, by the way, how you make discoveries. It is extraordinary to be able to see such a device actually come to the point where patients can use it day to day..."
"You know, I'm here now, 64 years old, and like many 64-year olds, I have a high-frequency hearing loss. It's one that precludes me from hearing my wife well, precludes me from hearing conversations in a noisy restaurant, and for the first time in my life wearing these InSound devices I'm able to hear sounds that I've never heard before."
"I'll never forget that one of my early experiences with InSound was going to the ballet with my wife, and for the first time since I was in kindergarten I heard a triangle being played by the orchestra. So until you experience the kind of hearing you get with Lyric, you really don't appreciate how much sound you're missing."
Dr. Robert Schindler Chairman Emeritus, Dept of Otolaryngology, UCSF, Founding Director, InSound Medical & Lyric Wearer
"Lyric is off the charts as far as clarity crispness. I feel like I don’t have hearing loss. I feel pretty much as good as I’ve ever felt about my hearing."
Cookie, Lyric Wearer
"Background noise doesn’t bother me. I’m in a restaurant, I’m in a situation where there is a lot of noise, and I can hear people. I can talk on the phone in a group of people and I don’t have to say “shhh, get out of here”, you know, "I can’t hear."
Cookie, Lyric Wearer
"I heard sounds I hadn’t heard in years. I was able to hear my kids speaking, I was able to understand what they said and before I had problems hearing and understanding what my family said to me. I was able to hear animal sounds I haven’t heard in many years. It was just like turning a switch and it was amazing."
Lawrence, Lyric Wearer
"The Lyric hearing aid in my ear is as natural of a feeling that I can get for hearing as opposed to any other hearing aids that I’ve used."
Lawrence, Lyric Wearer
"It truly is as close to my own hearing as I ever thought I would be able to experience in my life time."
Libby, Lyric Wearer
"You know, I never wanted to talk about my hearing aid, the old hearing aids, to anybody. But I find that I’m telling all of my friends that this is what I wear and don’t talk so loud because I can really hear you and I can hear everything you’re saying and yes I talk about it to everybody and recommend it to everyone who has this problem."
Marcia, Lyric Wearer
"I think the very best thing about wearing the Lyric is that I can answer the telephone and really hear people on the other end. Before, with my other hearing aids, I had great difficulty hearing people and I’d almost given up answering the telephone. It’s probably the best."
Dale, Lyric Wearer
"Restaurants used to be a huge problem and we eat out a lot. You get a lot of background noise and cross talk. Don’t have that problem anymore. Wearing Lyric is so natural that you forget you have them in."
Dave, Lyric Wearer
"What I hear differently with Lyric is the ability to hear behind me. Much more clearer and more crisper and more understandable as it comes into your ear. So I found that the Lyric was a better product in the sense of the understanding of what’s coming at you from different directions."
Pete, Lyric Wearer
"I wanted to someday find a device like this, whenever it would be, whether it be 20 yrs down the road or now, where it could not be seen, where there would be crispness and clarity that I have right now. I mean, I basically did not believe that there would be one so soon and this one is—this Lyric device is off the charts as far as perfection, I mean, I feel almost reborn and my relationships that I have right now are so much better with girlfriends, with kids, with anyone. They do not have to repeat themselves, and my whole world is happier because I don’t have to stress when I’m trying to hear someone or when I’m trying to have a conversation."
Cookie, Lyric Wearer
"I heard sounds I hadn’t heard in years. I was able to hear my kids speaking, I was able to understand what they said and before, I had problems hearing and understanding what my family said to me."
Lawrence, Lyric Wearer
"Being able to hear is participating in life to its fullest. Just like your eyes are so important, it’s so important to see, it’s important to hear too, and it just has changed my life, and I’m grateful."
Marcia, Lyric Wearer
"Lyric is a fabulous hearing aid, I’ve enjoyed so much more conversation with people, especially the telephone, and it really has improved the quality of my life."
Dale, Lyric Wearer
"The single best thing about Lyric is the fact that you are independent, you’re not tied to having batteries in your pocket you do not have to worry where you are going to have a conversation, you are not restricted in terms of your activities. You’re back to where you were when you did not have a hearing deficit."
Dave, Lyric Wearer
"Activities that I have been doing actually were a reason for getting a hearing aid in the first place. I had just started yoga for the first time in my life, I turn it up to the full volume and I hear everything the teacher says. I don’t have to worry about sweat, and it’s again, more natural."
Jim, Lyric Wearer
"And tears came to my eyes, I could hear exactly what I could never hear before and I realized how much I was missing in life. It really was an emotional experience when you put that in your ear and you now hear everything that you’ve lost and you’ve been made whole again. So it's quite a moving experience to have the Lyric installed in your ear and go back the way you used to be that you didn’t even know you missed that part of life."
Pete, Lyric Wearer
"When you’re traveling 30 miles an hour down the road, you've got to know what’s behind. You cannot see from behind you. Even with mirrors or mirrors on your helmet, you don’t get the image. You've got to be able to hear. And cars coming from the side. It’s all about sound and protection when it comes to riding a bike."
Pete, Lyric Wearer
"I do a lot of dancing and it’s Argentine tango so it involves following very closely along with the music. And I couldn’t always follow along with the music, I couldn’t quite determine some of these things so it’s helped in that respect as well—things I enjoy."
Stu, Lyric Wearer
