Lyric sits in the ear canal for months at a time so is
designed to withstand a degree of moisture, humidity
and wax. It’s important to remember that the device
is not waterproof, and should not be completely
submerged under water. Lyric sits close to the ear drum
so, it is possible to shower without having to worry if
the device will stop working.
However, no one likes the sensation of a wet or damp
ears, so here is a guide on what you can do to help
keep water out of your ears when wearing Lyric.
We want you to be able to enjoy your Lyric device
and help you prevent water entering your ears.

Preventing water from
entering your ears
It is important to note the following:
• These are only suggestions for Lyric
based on what we have seen being used
in the eld and may not be the solution
for everyone
• Results may vary depending on the
design on the earplug and how it sits
in your ear
• Please do not forget to tuck the custom
plug into the bowl of the ear correctly
(as shown in photo 2) to provide an
adequate seal
• After any water activity use a towel or
cloth to dry out the bowl of the ear to
absorb any residual water or moisture
These photos show how the suggested solutions should be correctly worn
1. Cotton wool in ear
2. Custom swim plus in ear +/- swim cap
