Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Lyra integrates professional hearing-aid tech with consumer smart glasses, breaking traditional hearing aids' 'medical device' limitation. Core configs: 6-array directional mic (accurate pickup and noise reduction), rotatable ear canal-proximal speaker (40dB max gain for clarity), with adaptive noise reduction and acoustic feedback algorithms for complex sound fields. Supports myopia/presbyopia/progressive lens customization, delivering 'hearing and vision and daily wear' all-in-one experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: 155 x 168 x 35 mm
Tags: Smart glasses, Hearing aid function, Wireless charging, Acoustic tuning, Rotating speaker.
Production Technology: Temples: 0.8mm TR90 injection molding. Electronics: multilayer FPC, SiP with Bluetooth SoC & PMIC, LDS antenna, custom-shaped micro battery. Assembly: active alignment for optical engine & waveguide, adhesive sealing (IP56), fixture press-fitting.
Design Challenge: Wireless charging alignment: custom coil misalignment reduces efficiency; magnetic positioning + multi-coil array + Q-value detection for adaptive matching. Acoustic tuning: open-ear speaker has sound leakage & weak bass; dual-diaphragm inverted cavity + psychoacoustic EQ + bone conduction assist, anechoic chamber optimization.
Inspiration: The design inspiration comes from hearing-impaired users' pain points: existing hearing aids have single functions (no multimedia connection) and medical-like looks, making users reluctant to wear them daily. Thus, we focus on 'non-medical and multi-functional', using a rotatable speaker (better clarity), 4 scenes and 4 hearing presets, and a stylish glasses design to make the device effective and integrated into daily life.
Project Duration: Launched in Shenzhen, June 2025; now in prototype testing.
