PRECISION HEARING Introduces First Invisible Hearing Device

On April 15, 2009, The New York Times printed a health piece entitled, “Raves (Yes, It’s True) For a New Hearing Aid.” The article, written by Tara Parker-Pope, was introducing the Lyric by InSound Medical, based in Newark, California.

Lyric is the first 100% invisible extended-wear hearing solution. Hidden deep inside the ear canal, just four millimeters from the ear drum, Lyric is worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for up to four months at a time. There are no batteries to change, no maintenance is needed, and no daily insertion is required.

It is also the first hearing device that can be worn during daily activities such as sleeping, showering, exercising, using headphones, and talking on the phone.

Lyric is properly sized and comfortably placed in the ear canal only by an authorized Lyric trained audiologist. It remains in place for up to four months, which is the approximate life of the battery. During that time a magnet allows the wearer to adjust the volume, turn it on and off, and even remove it if necessary. At the end of the device’s battery life, the audiologist replaces the entire device in minutes with a new one, complete with InSound’s latest technology.

Lyric overcomes many objections of hearing device users, such as squealing feedback and overamplified background noise. Doctors say that because Lyric sits so close to the ear drum, it works more efficiently, and sounds are more natural because Lyric doesn’t require as much amplification.

Right now Lyric is offered only through a select few hearing health care providers nationally. Precision Hearing of Rancho Bernardo is privileged to be among this elite group and will introduce this exciting product to the North Inland communities during a special Lyric Week Open House event, from August 10 to August 14.

If you would like to experience this exciting breakthrough in hearing technology, call Precision Hearing at 858-485-0909 for an appointment. The Lyric Open House special offer includes a complimentary Lyric Screening, 30-day free trial, and reduced pricing.
