Bryce Hearing Services offers a wide range of different hearing aid types, and with a choice of styles and colours – we can help find the ideal one for you.
Our hearing assessments ensure that we provide the hearing solution that is perfectly suited to you and your lifestyle.
We work with industry-leading provider Phonak to offer the only extended wear hearing aid currently available: the Lyric. This device stays within the ear canal for long periods of time. (It does not need to be removed for sleeping or changing batteries).
You might be better suited to a ‘daily wear’ hearing aid, which is removed for bed and to change the batteries.
A wide range of daily wear models are available from Bryce Hearing Services in types that go ‘in the ear’ (ITE hearing aids), ‘behind the ear’ (BTE hearing aids) or have a ‘receiver in the canal’ (RIC hearing aids).
We can help find the perfect model for you, based on your hearing needs and your style preferences.
We’ll be happy to discuss all the options available to you, following an assessment by one of our hearing care professionals. Book an appointment today.
Phonak
The Lyric hearing aid is a true innovation in hearing solutions. The device is hidden inside the ear canal, utilising its natural shape to capture sound and offer users a highly discreet hearing aid.
Maintaining hearing shouldn’t be hard work, and with Lyric you might even forget you are wearing a hearing aid. It’s water resistant and exclusive battery technology means it can perform 24/7 for up to 120 days at a time without the need for battery replacements or other types of maintenance, thanks to patented moisture protection systems and breathable materials.
Innovating in acoustics, processing and power, Lyric utilises micro-engineering to capture and amplify sound efficiently with minimal processing.
What is Lyric and how is it different?
Lyric is the first and only 100% invisible extended wear hearing solution. Once placed, it can be worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for months at a time.* It is even designed to be worn during daily activities like showering and sleeping**. Unlike many other hearing aids, Lyric is positioned completely inside the ear canal so that it provides natural sound quality while staying out of sight.
Can I wear Lyric? / What type of hearing loss does Lyric address?
Lyric is designed to fit patients with a mild to moderately-severe hearing loss. We will assess the level of your hearing loss, ear size and shape, medical conditions, and lifestyle to determine if Lyric is the right choice for your hearing needs.
How long does each Lyric device last?
Each Lyric device can be worn for months at a time, and up to a maximum of 120 or until the battery life ends. However, individual replacement needs vary because device battery life is subject to individual ear conditions.
How does Lyric work?
Lyric uses innovative deep ear technology to address hearing loss by leveraging the ear’s organic shape to capture sound and amplify it with minimal processing. With Lyric, sound enters the outer ear and flows naturally toward the ear drum, just as it would if you weren’t wearing a hearing device. Achieving this deep ear solution required breakthroughs in acoustics, processing, power supply, and packaging. However, the result is the only hearing device that can provide exceptionally clear, crisp sound around the clock for up to months at a time*.

Widex
The Widex Evoke is the only hearing aid in the world that uses machine learning; the Widex SoundSense Technology means that every time you use EVOKE it learns from different situations and uses the anonymous data to create a better listening experience. EVOKE knows the difference between classical and pop music, how a meeting sounds different than a party and it keeps up with you indoors and out – mapping your environment and adjusting accordingly.
When it’s noisy, you need your hearing aid to filter out anything that can distract from hearing speech but in quiet situations, you want to hear all the subtle details. EVOKE has a built-in Fluid Sound Controller that sets the optimal sound for different sound environments. This makes hearing aid adjustment is easy and EVOKE quickly adapts to the changes in your life. Because of its built-in SoundSense Adapt technology, it remembers all changes you make and intelligently applies them to similar situations – even if you’re in a totally new environment.
