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.
