How Lyric Works
While traditional hearing aids process sound outside of the ear, Lyric uses the natural anatomy of the ear to amplify and give you a full, natural listening experience.
Because Lyric is placed in the ear canal near the eardrum, it is the world’s only 100% invisible hearing aid. Lyric is the easiest to manage because you wear it day and night, without having to take it out for months at a time. You can wear the device around the clock through daily activities such as exercising or even showering. No more batteries to change or cleaning required. Lyric is great for anyone with a tremor or suffering from arthritis.
Lyric and Tinnitus
More importantly, Lyric is also a solution for tinnitus sufferers. Around 1 in 6 people in Australia suffer from tinnitus and have constant symptoms. Hearing aids have been widely used in the relief of tinnitus for those with treatable hearing loss. Appropriate amplification through hearing aids provides missing auditory information for the auditory pathway to process, and diverting attention from tinnitus. However, when daily wear hearing aids are removed, for instance at night, tinnitus can return and continue to be problematic. Recent research at University of Melbourne has shown that lyric provides greater relief from tinnitus than daily wear aids, improve quality of sleep and lowered annoyance from tinnitus faster than daily wear aids.
Specific Associations Between Cognition & Lyric
We know now that untreated hearing loss is one of the major risk factors for dementia and regular use of hearing aids can reduce this risk by almost 75%. Statistics show that currently there is approximately 50 million people with dementia, globally. There are many factors that contribute to the risk of developing dementia, and hearing loss is a significant modifiable risk factor when it comes to decreasing dementia risk. The reduction in cognitive performance associated with a mild hearing loss was equivalent to the reduction associated with an age difference of 7 years.
Lyric is the best choice for hearing impaired people who show cognitive decline since the device sits in the client’s ear 24/7 without the need to change batteries, cleaning or remembering to put it on and take it off. So they don’t need to be worried about losing their hearing ais, changing the batteries, or forgetting daily maintenance.
