The Worlds ONLY Invisible Hearing Aid. Phonak Lyric Hearing Aid Review (2022 - Lyric 4.0)

This video reviews the Phonak Lyric 4.0 invisible hearing aid. This version was released in the Summer of 2020 and is Phonak’s latest version of the world’s only extended wear, 24/7 invisible hearing aid. This is truly the worlds only invisible hearing aid.
In the video I do a hearing aid review covering:
00:00 Intro
02:04 Who Lyric is suitable for (including Lyric fitting range)
02:47 The advantages of wearing Phonak Lyric 4.0
03:46 Feedback from some of our Lyric patients
04:26 How Lyric can help with tinnitus management
04:53 The Lyric hearing aid cost and where you can have it fitted
Lyric is the ONLY invisible hearing aid option as it is fitted in the ear canal under microscope, and sits 4mm from the tympanic membrane (eardrum). The battery lasts between 2-3 months, and at that point the device needs replacing in clinic. There are no filters or batteries to change so it is the most hassle free hearing aid out there.
If you have any questions make sure you comment below and I’ll be sure to get back to you.

Is there any danger to accidentally diving into a pool with a Lyric hearing device in my ears, other than damaging/ruining the device? Is there a physical danger, such as ear ache, infection, ear damage, electrocution, etc? Thank you.

@TheHearingGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Joseph, thanks for watching. Yes there is the chance that one could damage ones ear, however I've had patients accidentally jump in the pool and all thats happened is that it's killed the Lyric.

I wanted to know if you know about the effects / prevention of earwax build up. It seems like there are quite a few ways people's ears can be blocked for a large % of the day (hearing aids, ear plugs, and earbuds). And I would love to know about the effects and prevention of ear wax build up because of those things.

@markspoor4663 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Matthew. Great video. I have my evaluation for Lyric in a few days. Question - Will the battery last substantially longer if you turn it off at night? Are there other reasons that it should be replaced every 2-3 months? Wax build up, etc.?

@TheHearingGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Mark. Great question. I think that you'll get roughly a weeks extra life by switching it off at night. However one of the great things about Lyric is hearing the alarm in the morning AND being able to hear at night. It very much depends on the individual. I hope that you get on well with your eval.

@HussainAli-eb3yi Жыл бұрын

great video. thanks for sharing. Can you tell me if the phonak lyric has the occlusion effect?

@janheymeriks8547 2 жыл бұрын

I am trying the lyric for 2 days now. While I hear high frequency sounds much better now, I have the impression that low frequency sounds are worse, especially when listening to music with a lot of basses. Is that a common issue?

@TheHearingGuy Жыл бұрын

Hey Jan, that all depends on your hearing loss. If you have great hearing in the low tones then they need to be adjusted in that area to compensate for the occlusion. Thanks for watching, Matthew

@manishverma4967 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mathew! Does it cost 1500 pounds after every 3 months when we remove lyric or we just need to change battery after that. What is the price for battery?

Hi Manish The cost is for an annual subscription, so it covers you for all of your appointments and replacements for 12 months.

Is the Lyric good for a person with reverse slope hearing loss?

@TheHearingGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Hey RyaninSartell, great question. It really depends on the extent of the loss. I do have some patients wearing it with a reverse slope loss,, although it isn't technically deigned for that configuration of hearing test results. It's worth finding yourself a Lyric specialist and having them evaluate your suitability. Thanks for watching!!

Hey Juan Sadly it’s not available in a CROS. The two biggest challenges there would be 1. Battery life 2. Having an antenna that would allow the two to communicate effectively. It is possible non-surgically with ITC hearing aids or RICS though.

Hey Anahi, yes it's suitable for a mild hearing loss and we have an xxs for small ears so it's worth investigating. The smallest Lyric is smaller than the Signia Silk. Thanks for watching.

Is there much occlusion effect that happens while using? Like hearing your own voice?

@TheHearingGuy 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Snow, Great question. Lyric is placed under microscope and sits 4mm from the tympanic membrane, which in itself significantly reduces the chance off occlusion and allows for your voice to ‘escape from your ears’. It does all depend on your audiogram though. If you have very good low frequency hearing it could potentially be an issue still.

I got my Lyrics fitted yesterday and at the time of writing this I have had them in my ears for about a day and a half. Although they have been comfortable to wear and hardly noticed them, I have only just started noticing that there is slight discomfort along with a tenderness forming when I push round the outside of my ear in certain spots. Is this a normal thing until I get used to them or should I look at having them taken out?

@TheHearingGuy Жыл бұрын

Hey Pounder64, there is a bedding in period and it really depends on the individual. If your audiologist and you work together on getting it right its worth a few appointments to try to get there. Thanks for watching, Matthew

@lcoiro Жыл бұрын

@@TheHearingGuy Yes this is true as the tenderness, etc settled right down after about a week or so and I have gotten completely used to wearing them, and to the point where they feel completely comfortable and you sometimes forget that you are even wearing them. I think patience is what is required for anyone wanting to give these a go.
