https://www.phonak.com/en-us/hearing-devices/hearing-aids/ly... I find this egregious: "Lyric requires no maintenance or batteries to change or charge." and again "No batteries or charging needed."

But you have two tiny potential bombs inserted into your head.

If it doesn't get charged then I doubt it has a lithium ion battery. But i can't find any specific information.

Have Phonak/Lyric achieved the impossible building a battery that never runs out of power? How does that work?

Looks like rather than replacing or recharging the battery, you have the entire thing removed and a new one placed.
