Lyric is the first 100% invisible hearing aid with extended wear capabilities. It is comfortably placed in the ear canal by a Lyric certified audiologist and can be worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for up to 4 months at a time.1 No surgery or anesthesia is required. Unlike many other hearing aids, Lyric is positioned completely inside the ear canal, so it uses your ear’s natural anatomy to funnel sound to your eardrum.

This unique design and placement helps reduce background noise and feedback and provides exceptionally natural sound quality. Because it remains in the ear canal 24/7 for months at a time, you don’t need to worry about daily hassles like putting the device on or taking it off, or changing batteries, so you can forget about your hearing loss and spend time connecting with friends and loved ones.

Lyric Benefits

Once placed, Lyric is 100% invisible

Effortless Hearing, 24/7

Lyric can be used during your daily activities, such as exercising, showering, talking on the phone, and sleeping. There are no batteries to change, no maintenance is needed, and no daily insertion or removal is required.

Natural Sound Quality

Lyric’s placement deep in the ear canal allows the outer ear (the pinna) to direct sound into the ear canal naturally, resulting in reduced background noise and feedback, and exceptional sound quality. A recent study shows that of the patients surveyed, 99% preferred Lyric over their previous hearing aids,2 95% preferred Lyric sound quality over their previous hearing aids,3 and 96% would recommend Lyric to a friend or loved one4.

Frequently asked questions about Lyric


Can I use headsets or earbuds with Lyric®?
External headphones and external hearing protection can be used. Do not use inserted headsets, earbuds, or earplugs, because they may dislodge the device. Standard iPod® earphones may be used. If there is any discomfort, discontinue use and bring them to your next appointment for advice.

Will an MRI, X-ray, or CT scan damage Lyric or place my ear at risk?
Lyric must be removed before you have an MRI. An X-ray or CT scan will not damage or dislodge the device because a magnet is not used, but you should inform the physician and/or technician about your Lyric device. If an X-ray or CT scan of the ear or head is needed, the device may need to be removed. Let your physician know that you are wearing Lyric if you are having surgery or any kind of medical procedure..
