CNN – “Scientists have developed a new kind of hearing aid that does not encumber patients with the usual problems such as low batteries, having to remove the device before showering or sleeping and over-amplified noises. The Lyric, made by U.S. company InSound Medical, avoids the possible dangers of surgery by being hidden deep inside the ear canal, one-sixth of an inch from the eardrum. The device is worn 24 hours a day and needs to be replaced three to four times per year. It is removed with a magnet. Currently, 3,500 people wear the Lyric and the number is growing.”
