your hearing aid will provide valuable benefits to your
daily life.
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.

1.1 What makes Lyric different
Lyric is comfortably placed in the ear canal by a Lyric
trained hearing care professional and can be used
24 hours a day, seven days a week, for months at a time.
No surgery or anesthesia is required. Unlike many
other hearing aids, Lyric is positioned totally inside the
ear canal and uses your ear’s anatomy to provide
natural sound quality.
1.2 What you can expect with your new Lyric
Adjusting to your new hearing aid(s)
Like all hearing aids, Lyric requires an adjustment period.
For most people, Lyric becomes comfortable within
a few days. Others may take up to two weeks to adjust
to Lyric.
You may notice some initial discomfort when sleeping.
Try to sleep with as little direct pressure on your ears
as possible. Sleeping on your back is ideal.

If your ear is itchy, do not scratch or pull at the ear.
Instead, gently massage the side of your face near your
ear.

Getting used to new sounds and sound quality
Usually, hearing loss progresses slowly over years. So it
is not unusual for things to sound a bit loud or strange
when you first wear Lyric. The voices of your friends and
loved ones – and perhaps even your own voice – may
sound different for a while.
At first, you may also notice normal environmental
sounds such as the refrigerator running, road noise from
the tires on the car and heels clicking on the floor while
walking. Within a short period of time, you will notice
such sounds less as they become part of your everyday
hearing world.
