Candidacy for LYRIC®
Our audiologists at our HES Amherst, Orchard Park and Williamsville locations are certified Lyric Providers. There are three main areas that they asses in order to determine if a patient is a good candidate for LYRIC®. They are: the hearing loss, the ear anatomy, and lifestyle.
Hearing Loss
As with any hearing aid, LYRIC® does not suit all types of hearing loss. When you have your hearing assessment, your Audiologist will advise you if your hearing loss is within the fitting range for LYRIC®.
Anatomy
It is important for your Audiologist to examine the shape and condition of your ear canal, discuss your medical history and life style in order to decide whether LYRIC® is a suitable option for you. However, as every ear is different, the only way to fully assess whether the LYRIC® hearing aid is right for you is to make an appointment and try it risk free for 30 days.
Lifestyle
Your lifestyle can also play a role in your candidacy for LYRIC®. The LYRIC® device is a viable option for most lifestyles, with the exception of avid swimmers, skydivers, or scuba divers.
