North Houston Hearing Solutions Transforms Hearing Care with Lyric Technology

The Lyric hearing aid is an invisible device that patients can wear 24/7 to improve mild to moderate hearing loss. North Houston Hearing Solutions is one of the few practices in Houston approved to install these devices.

Unlike traditional daily wear devices, the Lyric hearing aid is inserted into the ear canal right next to the eardrum in a non-surgical procedure that takes approximately 15 minutes. This device can be worn continuously, allowing users to sleep, swim and shower without needing to remove it.

“It also helps you be aware of sound while you sleep, so you might hear a fire alarm or emergency phone call in the middle of the night,” said Dr. Lacey Brooks. “There are no batteries to change. There are no hearing aids to clean. There is no maintenance on the part of the patient, which is a determining factor for him.

The clinic is one of the few in the Houston area with audiology doctors certified to fit the Lyric device. This certification ensures that North Houston Hearing Solutions staff are highly qualified to provide this advanced hearing aid to their patients.

Dr. Brooks said she has been using the Lyric device for more than a decade and the patient feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The device is particularly beneficial for tinnitus sufferers, providing relief around the clock, and for people with dexterity issues, as there are no batteries to change or device to clean.

For people who are hesitant to seek help due to the stigma of visible hearing aids, the Lyric device offers a discreet and effective solution.

“The Lyric is ideal for people who don’t want people to know they’re wearing hearing aids because it’s the only invisible hearing aid on the market,” Dr. Brooks said.

What many people may not realize is that hearing loss is the #1 modifiable risk factor for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Although your ears collect information, it is your brain that makes sense of that information, allowing you to hear. This is why it is important to have a suitable hearing aid.

“(The Lyric device) gives your brain the auditory information it needs to process properly and it stimulates the area of ​​your brain that contributes to cognition,” Dr. Brooks said.

The Lyric hearing aid, being a subscription model, further adds to its convenience. Patients pay an annual fee that covers all appointments and follow-up care, eliminating additional costs.

North Houston Hearing Solutions is committed to spreading awareness about the Lyric hearing aid and its benefits. With a team of certified providers and a decade of expertise, they are dedicated to improving the lives of their patients through advanced hearing solutions.
