Lyric, our extended wear hearing aid

Extended Wear delivers exactly what the name suggests and is the only wearable solution which can be used round the clock for up to four months due to its exceptionally long battery life. They are a great option for people who may struggle with changing or adjusting a device due to eyesight or dexterity issues. 

 Interestingly Extended Wear employ analogue rather than digital technology which is why the battery lasts so long. Where you might expect a drop in sound quality from the newer digital options, the years we have spent fitting them in the UK has proved that they are an extremely sophisticated solution offering top-quality sound.  

 While these are a perfect solution for many, they are not suitable for everyone. Approximately one in five patients will be unable to have Extended Wear fitted – not to worry, there are lots of other great options available – and your audiologist will take care to check your suitability before you proceed.  

 Once the device is tuned and fitted you will be good to go for up to four months before needing to return and have them switched out for a new device. So with as few as three visits per year you could have a 24/7 hearing solution which is so discreet you’ll hardly know it’s there.
