Testimonials
Lyric hearing devices have changed my life…Actually, I feel they gave my life back to me. Prior to trying Lyric, my hearing loss was debilitating to the point other hearing devices were not allowing me to hear well enough to function in normal activities. Trying to carry on conversations at work limited my ability to perform my duties, threatening the loss of my career. I shied away from social events, stopped taking Bible Studies, couldn’t hear well at plays concerts, etc. TV watching was impossible because no matter how high I turned the volume, I couldn’t understand Lyric changed all of this. I can now hear, understand voices, watch TV, work, take part in social events, and I look forward to living every day. Lyrics are truly life changing. Thank you Dr. Kristina Jackson.
