RESUMEN

A new category of hearing technology has emerged that comprises devices inserted deep into the ear canal. Although not implanted, they represent an extension of what is expected of a traditional hearing aid. There are advantages to these devices, but they are not suited for all individuals with hearing loss. This category consists of 2 devices currently available in the United States: Lyric (Phonak AG, Stafa, Switzerland) and Earlens (Earlens, Menlo Park, CA, USA).
