1. Welcome
Thank you for choosing Lyric, the first extended wear
hearing aid that is 100% invisible. Your Lyric hearing
aid requires a lot less interaction and handling compared
to conventional hearing aids. We are convinced that
your hearing aid will provide valuable benefits to your
daily life.
The nature of the Lyric hearing aid requires it to be
inserted by a Lyric trained hearing care professional.
This user guide is intended to supplement and not
replace any advice from your hearing care professional.
Please read this user guide carefully in order to safely
operate your Lyric hearing aid and to benefit from all
the possibilities it has to offer.

If you have any questions, please consult your hearing
care professional.

Please read the information on the following pages
when you are using your hearing aid for the first time.
2.1Hazard warnings
Use only hearing aids that have been specially
programmed for you by your hearing care
professional. Other systems may be ineffective
and may, in certain cases, damage your hearing.
Changes or modifications to the hearing aid that
were not explicitly approved by Phonak are not
permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or
the hearing aid.
The hearing aid is a potential choking or swallowing
hazard so it should be kept out of reach of children
and pets. If hearing aids are swallowed, consult your
medical practitioner immediately!

2.2 Information on product safety
Wearing Lyric:
Medical imaging procedures (e.g. CT scans, MRI
scans) may adversely affect the correct functioning
of your hearing aid. Lyric must be removed before
you have an MRI scan because it contains metallic
parts. Please see chapter 6 for detailed information
concerning X-ray procedures.
Do not submerge your head in water. Water
submersion may cause damage to the hearing aid.
Do not scuba dive or dive underwater. Diving while
wearing Lyric may cause injury to your ear or damage
to the hearing aid.
Do not skydive while wearing Lyric.
Once Lyric is removed, it cannot be reinserted.

8
Do not put cotton swabs or anything else in your
ear canal. They could damage the hearing aid and/
or injure your ear.
If Lyric stops working for any reason, it must be
removed within 24 hours, and a Lyric trained hearing
care professional should examine your ear canal.
Using SoundLync:
The SoundLync should not rest against the skin of
those with allergies to nickel.
If you use a medical device such as a pacemaker,
do not place the SoundLync in your breast pocket.
