1.1 What makes Lyric dierent
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
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 rst wear Lyric. The voices of your friends and
loved ones – and perhaps even your own voice – may
sound dierent for a while.
At rst, 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 oor while
walking. Within a short period of time, you will notice
such sounds less as they become part of your everyday
hearing world.

To be able to use the SoundLync, unscrew the magnet
from the keychain housing and hold it inside the ear
canal without touching the hearing aid.
Attached to one end of the magnet is a small tool
that can be used to safely remove Lyric from your
ear in urgent situations.
Note: Please be aware that Lyric is muted for one
second after a beep is played. It is also muted during
the beep series when changing the volume.
