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.
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.
Hey P T, there’s no streaming with these hearing aids as there’s no Bluetooth built into them. If you’re interested in streaming check out my Oticon more review 😊
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.?
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.
@favorites favorites That's great to hear! Sometimes a little tweak to the size can help with migration so mention it to your audiologist. Where did you have it fitted?
@@favoritesfavorites6451 I have them too and was told by the audiologist that the feedback goes away after a seal of wax is formed around them within a couple of days and that has been the case for me.
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?
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
Dear mattew, My 2nd bend of ear canal width is 5mm and height is 6.5 mm. Total ear lenght is longer than 20mm. Today my aud told me that Starkey iic do not fit my ear. Do i have any chance to be fitted with Lyric xxs? Many thx
Hi Mickel, that's some very specific information. The BEST thing to do is to get yourself over to a Lyric specialist and have them try a sizer in your ear before a live Lyric. Thanks for watching, Matthew
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?
Hey Matthew, I live in Dubai , is it possible to get it in a country that has the lyric, and how many months are needed to replace the lyric ? Can I replace the lyric in Dubai instead of traveling everytime ?
Hey Mathew, do you think this is suitable for mild hearing loss ? Besides my ears are really small, is it a problem ? What about the signia silk X is it suitable for small ears ?
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.
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.
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?
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
@@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.
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!!
Hi Matthew! Quick question -- is it possible to insert and remove the Lyric yourself, or is it required to be inserted and removed by an audiologist? Thanks for your help!
Hey Annie Great question. I’ve just written up a video for self insertion and it should go up in the next few weeks. I run through it with my patients after 6 months of Lyric use if they’re interested.
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.
Hey Kasspette, I do have patients with a reverse slope hearing loss that I've fitted with Lyric, but it it does depend on the extent of the hearing loss. It's 100% worth a chat with a Lyric specialist.
Hey Hari, thanks for the message. I wouldn’t recommend swimming under water. Wearing swim plugs would provide some protection against water. We do teach people to self insert now so it’s possible to take them out before and reinsert afterwards
@@TheHearingGuy oww.. thank u so much bro😊.. i am from kerala from india... bro, how much time this lyric can be used continuously and when should i recharge it?

Always say worth because don't tell where I'm I can by it
great video. thanks for sharing. Can you tell me if the phonak lyric has the occlusion effect?
the best would be phonak b titanium for 13 bareries instead of 10 batteries
I am happy to have found you. Can you stream with these?

Seeing as this technology exists and is reasonably priced, why would anyone with medium hearing loss choose an alternative? Great video!
Thanks Inmeeden! It's a great option for the right person.

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

Wow fantastic concept hearing aid!. ¿Is it possible to get a Cros sistem with this format?, it would be great!. It is not, hope soon be possible.

2. Having an antenna that would allow the two to communicate effectively.

Fantastic, thank you so much! And thank you for such a quick reply 😊
Can this be used on kids? Or is it recommended to be a certain age?
Is there much occlusion effect that happens while using? Like hearing your own voice?

It does all depend on your audiogram though. If you have very good low frequency hearing it could potentially be an issue still.

@@TheHearingGuy Thanks so much, I will do that😀
Is this available in Romania? If not, can a romanian get it at your clinic?
Hey Don. You can check on the Phonak website for a list of where Phonak is available. Thanks for watching :)
For how much this is available in india... And is it rechargeable??
Hi there Kotturi, sadly I don’t think that it’s available in India
May I ask does lyric help with 100dB hearing loss or are there any IIC hearing aids which fit for 100dB?
Hi there
You’ll need to see an audiologist regarding your hearing loss. Lyric isn’t designed for a profound loss.
How long does a lyric last until you have to buy a new pair?
Lyric is fitted on an annual subscription basis, so payment needs making every 12 months.
Are they useful in high frequency hearing loss?
It really depends on the hearing loss. It’s best to see an audiologist that fits Lyric and they’ll assess if it’s suitable for you
@@TheHearingGuy thanks for the reply.
Please can I get it in Algeria I need a quick reply
Hi there, sorry I dont believe it's available in Nigeria. Thanks for watching.
Can you provide iic hearing upto 140 db
Hi Shahnwaz, you’d be better to look at a behind the ear hearing aid if there’s a loss that requires that level of power
What is the effectus in tinnitus ?
Hey Fabien, that's a great question. I have had a lot of positive results with tinnitus using this 24/7 hearing aid. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Can i get in Malaysia? Hav any outlet?
Hey P. Thank you for watching. Sadly there is nothing available in Malaysia at present.
Lyric is waterproof?... Can we swim under water with using lyric?
Hey Hari, thanks for the message. I wouldn’t recommend swimming under water. Wearing swim plugs would provide some protection against water.
We do teach people to self insert now so it’s possible to take them out before and reinsert afterwards
@@TheHearingGuy oww.. thank u so much bro😊.. i am from kerala from india... bro, how much time this lyric can be used continuously and when should i recharge it?
Lyric’s battery dies after 2-3 months. At this point the device needs replacing. I am pretty sure that there aren’t any Lyric centres in India though
It is available in India.please send me any address
price
