Summary
Product Description
Offering good background noise handling, competitive wireless audio, and a solid app, Elehear Beyond is the best value hearing aid I've ever tested.
Product Description
The Phonak Lyric 4 is a unique, 100% invisible hearing aid that is deeply inserted into the ear canal by a specialist and can be worn continuously for months without removal. It offers natural sound quality, comfort improvements over previous models, and is particularly effective for those with mild to moderate hearing loss, but lacks modern connectivity features like Bluetooth streaming.
