Phonak Lyric User manual

Water protection guide

Lyric is water resistant,

not waterproof

We want you to be able to enjoy your Lyric device and help you prevent water entering your ears.

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 water resistant, 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.

moisture
