Why only Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum is visible?

When I was reading about the hydrogen spectrum, I came across the statement:

Only Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum can be visible to our eyes.

I really got surprised by that. Why can't other hydrogen spectrum line be visible? They surely are emitted just as well?
