[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a type of disposable hearing aid called Lyric made by a large hearing aid company called Phonic. https://www.phonak.com/en-us/hearing-devices/hearing-aids/lyric

It is inserted into a person's ear by an audiologist then swapped out every 6 to 8 weeks. So there is no charging them, no taking them on and off in the morning and most importantly they cannot be seen since they are inserted into the ear canal.

I went to Costco and got my mom hearing aids but she rarely wore them. She didn't want anyone to know she was wearing them, she wouldn't remember to charge them and she thought they were hard to put on. It was annoying to go and knock on her apartment door in her senior independent/assisted living community and she couldn't hear the door. And she couldn't hear the phone ring.

The hearing aids cost $300 dollars a month all included. Totally worth the price! Her quality of life is better and so is mine. I am puzzled why these type so hearing aids aren't more popular or more well known. [/quote]

300 dollars a month is a considerable expense for some people.[/quote]
