Hearing Aids / Lyric
Personalized Hearing Care
Every hearing journey, every ear, is unique. That is why we always start with an in-depth hearing aid evaluation to make sure we find the right solution for your specific hearing profile. We also want to account for your lifestyle and comfort preferences when making recommendations. Whether you spend your days in meetings, enjoying the outdoors, or chilling at home with loved ones, we tailor recommendations to your specific needs.
Our hearing aids include the leading technology from trusted manufacturers like Phonak, Oticon, Starkey, and ReSound. We further offer full compatibility for ReSound cochlear implant systems. Every device is programmed and then fine-tuned to your exact hearing prescription to deliver the best clarity and performance possible.
Types of Hearing Aids
Behind-the-Ear (BTE):
The most versatile and powerful style, where the electronics sit in a case behind the ear and sound is routed through a custom earmold or thin tube. These are often the gold standard for pediatric patients.
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC):
Currently the most popular choice for adults; a small housing sits behind the ear, while the speaker (receiver) sits directly in the ear canal for a more natural sound.
In-the-Ear (ITE) / In-the-Canal (ITC):
Custom-molded to the shape of your ear, these house all components within a single shell that sits in the outer bowl or the canal.
Completely-in-Canal (CIC) / Invisible-in-Canal (IIC):
The smallest custom options, designed to sit deep within the ear canal for maximum discretion.
Upper Valley Hearing & Balance Inc. | Certified Lyric Provider
Upper Valley Hearing & Balance Inc. believes that better hearing must start with a full understanding of your individual needs. We are not just fitting you with a random device. Our team helps patients in Troy and throughout the Miami Valley region rediscover clarity, build confidence, and foster connections. This is accomplished through the use of the most advanced hearing technology that includes the Lyric extended-wear hearing aid. The Lyric is only available through certified Lyric providers.
The Lyric Difference
The Lyric hearing aid is unlike any other. It is placed deep into the ear canal by an audiologist and then left there. Lyric offers completely invisible, effortless listening experiences. It is worn for months at a time, continuously, to provide natural sound quality and freedom to use hearing aids without dealing with the daily maintenance of traditional models.
Lyric wearers often describe wearing it as “forgetting they have hearing loss,” because they can enjoy life without ever removing their device. This includes exercising, sleeping, and engaging in social interactions with others. Specific Lyric benefits include:
Being 100% invisible in design, meaning no one can see you wearing it
Natural, clear sound uses the ear’s natural shape for depth and direction
Hassle-free wear without a concern for batteries or daily insertion
Water-resistant for light exercise and showering
- A comfortable, secure fit created for your ear canal.
