Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Immediate Refit Upon Device Removal
Time Frame: Following device removal at the same appointment (Up to 24 hours after removal)
Upon device removal, a qualified audiologist examined subjects' ears to evaluate their availability to be immediately refit with another hearing aid device. It is not uncommon for patients being fitted with these types of devices to experience slight irritation on an initial experience with the device. In particular, those being fit with the Lyric or Lyric2.0 for the first time first undergo the device sizing process, which slightly increases stress on the ear.
Secondary Outcomes
- Device Comfort(During useful lifespan of device)
- Gain, Speech Understanding and Sound Quality(During useful lifespan of device)
