The New York Times reports on a new hearing aid — new meaning completely different. Not behind the ear, not requiring surgery, not requiring typical batteries, not requiring full ear molds.
The Lyric looks like an ideal hearing aid for those who don’t have severe or profound hearing loss. Wearers most likely have to give up swimming. However, the company’s web site says the hearing aid can be removed for MRIs and similar unique situations, but not swimming and scuba diving.
The Lyric provides an interesting and expensive alternative for qualified candidates.
