Why should you trust Sound Relief Hearing Center with Lyric Hearing Aids?
To start with, it is our uncompromising level of patient care, experience, reputation in the community, and the number of patients we help every day.
Additionally, Dr. Julie’s involvement in the development and evolution of this incredible device extends far beyond daily interactions with patients.
She also serves on the Advisory Board for Lyric, which meets regularly to discuss best practices and future updates to the technology.
Over the summer of 2022, she conducted a clinical trial – at Phonak’s request – for Lyric of their upcoming new product launch.
Dr. Julie has also represented the United States at Phonak’s Annual Global Media Day in Switzerland to discuss how Lyric hearing aids can be used most effectively as a part of tinnitus management.
Phonak/Lyric terminated access to Lyric for many practices over the past year. Why? If providers do not fit Lyric regularly, they are unable to provide the experience and quality that patients need and deserve.
