At Victorian Hearing, we believe hearing well is about more than just sound. Life is about living fully, maintaining independence and protecting your overall wellbeing. For many people, however, the thought of wearing a hearing aid can feel daunting. Concerns about a hearing aid’s appearance, daily maintenance or its inconvenience may delay taking action, even when the hearing loss is significantly impacting life. That’s where Lyric™ comes in. A truly unique hearing solution designed to make hearing effortless.

What is Lyric?

Lyric is the world’s only 100% invisible, extended-wear hearing aid. Unlike traditional devices that sit behind or in the ear, Lyric is placed comfortably deep within the ear canal by an audiologist, where it remains completely hidden from view. Once fitted, Lyric can be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for months at a time—through sleep, exercise, and daily activities—until it naturally requires replacement.

Why haven’t I heard about Lyric before today?

Fitting a Lyric hearing aid is a highly specialised process. It requires advanced training, the use of a medical microscope, and a detailed understanding of ear canal anatomy to ensure comfort, safety, and optimal performance. Unlike standard hearing aids, Lyric is not widely taught in university audiology programs, which means not all audiologists are qualified to fit this unique device.

At Victorian Hearing, we are proud to be recognized as one of Australia’s leading Lyric providers. All our qualified clinicians are trained in Lyric fitting, and we share our expertise across the team to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care.
Our Principal Audiologist, Nicole Bowden, together with clinicians Keith Chittleborough and Sandra Lee, bring extensive international training to the clinic, having studied Lyric fitting in Europe, New Zealand, and the USA. Keith, in particular, has contributed his skills and experience on a global stage, further cementing our reputation for excellence.

By choosing Victorian Hearing for Lyric, you are not only accessing the latest in hearing technology but also placing your health and wellbeing in the hands of clinicians with world-class expertise.

Benefits of Lyric Hearing Aids

1. Invisible Confidence
Because Lyric is placed out of sight, 4mm from the ear drum, you can move through your day without anyone knowing you’re wearing a hearing device. For many, this discretion removes a barrier to seeking help and makes embracing hearing care far more comfortable.

2. Natural, Clear Sound
Lyric uses the natural shape of the ear to capture sound, providing a clear and natural listening experience. Wearers often report hearing feels more effortless and less fatiguing, even in busy environments like restaurants or family gatherings.

3. Freedom from Daily Maintenance
Traditional hearing aids require insertion, removal, and battery changes. With Lyric, there are no daily tasks to manage. You can shower, exercise, or fall asleep without giving your hearing aids a second thought. This “set and forget” design is especially appealing for those with busy lifestyles.

4. Support for Wellbeing and Health
Untreated hearing loss has been an associated risk factor for depression, social withdrawal, increased falls, and even accelerated cognitive decline. By ensuring continuous access to sound, Lyric helps people stay socially connected, mentally stimulated and physically aware of their surroundings. All of which are key factors in maintaining long-term health. Many wearers also find relief from tinnitus and report better sleep, thanks to Lyric’s constant presence.

Everyday Life Without Limits

Lyric is designed to fit seamlessly into life. Whether you’re heading to the gym, wearing a helmet, attending a meeting, or simply enjoying a good night’s rest, Lyric adapts to your routine. For those who value discretion, convenience, and freedom, it’s a powerful solution.

Proven Satisfaction

A Phonak Field Study on 109 lyric users, conducted by Biggins, Singh & Solodar showed significant psychosocial benefits from Lyric use.

Lyric wearers consistently report high levels of satisfaction:

  • 96% are happy with the sound quality.
  • 86% are very satisfied with their experience overall.
  • 93% would recommend Lyric to family and friends.
