Signs You May Need a Hearing Aid
Hearing loss tends to develop gradually, so much so that many people do not notice the signs until they get pretty bad. Common indicators that you may need hearing aids include asking others to repeat themselves, having difficulty understanding conversations in noisy environments, or straining to hear when on the phone.

The Connection Between Hearing and Brain Health
Untreated hearing loss affects much more than just your ability to communicate. It can impact your cognitive health, leading to difficulties with memory and concentration. Early intervention can protect your hearing and brain health while reducing the risk of cognitive decline as you age.

Types of Hearing Aids We Offer
We offer a variety of hearing aid styles to meet individual needs. We have a solution for you whether you want something discreet, comfortable, or technologically advanced.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
Durable and suited for various hearing loss, BTE hearing aids sit behind the ear and connect to a custom earmold.
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)
These smaller, sleeker devices offer excellent sound quality and are easy to wear.
In-the-Ear (ITE) & In-the-Canal (ITC)
Custom-fit hearing aids that sit comfortably inside the ear, ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Completely-in-Canal (CIC) & Invisible-in-Canal (IIC)
These provide the most discreet solution, sitting deep inside the ear canal.
CROS & BiCROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal)
CROS and BiCROS hearing aids are designed for individuals with hearing loss in one or both ears. CROS devices transmit sound from the weaker ear to the stronger ear, while BiCROS devices do the same but also amplify sound for the better ear.
Lyric (Extended Wear Hearing Aid)
Placed deep in the ear canal by a hearing professional, Lyric is 100% invisible and can be worn 24/7 for months at a time. It can even be worn while sleeping or showering.
We are also an Authorized Lyric Provider, offering the Phonak Lyric™, the world’s only 100% invisible, extended-wear hearing aid.
Introduction to Lyric Hearing Aids
The Phonak Lyric™ is a breakthrough in hearing technology. This hearing aid is positioned deep in the ear canal, making it completely invisible, and is designed to be worn all day and night for months without removal. There is no need to perform regular maintenance or replace the batteries.
Lyric offers several benefits for those who choose it. The top benefit is that there is no need to remove it each day. Additionally, the batteries last for months, so it is worry-free. Lyric is also water-resistant, so it can be worn while showering. 24/7 hearing can provide improved hearing at night as well as during the day. Basically, it is put in and left untouched until replaced by an audiologist. Lyric is the perfect choice for those who desire a discreet, hassle-free hearing aid. If you are searching for a solution that blends seamlessly into your life, Lyric may be the answer.
