Introduction
The Lyric2 insertion tool is used to insert Lyric2 sizers and devices
in the ear canal. Prior to using it, the ear canal must undergo
otoscopy to check ear health and shape as well as earwax removal
if necessary. Please refer to an ENT-doctor if any abnormalities
have been detected.
Before inserting a sizer/device in the ear canal using the insertion
tool, the maximum insertion depth must be determined using a
length sizer. Inserting the sizer/device to this depth will position
the medial end of the sizer/device approximately 4mm from the
tympanic membrane.
The device sizers for Lyric2 are replicas of the devices. Therefore,
the handling and placement is the same as for an actual device.
The insertion tool may be used with either the right or left hand.
To hold the tool, use your thumb and place it in the thumb ring.
Place fingers in the moving tension ring and the fixed finger ring.
To load a sizer/device, you will use the loading notch, the tip notch
and the loading hook. The loading hook is situated in the shaft of
the insertion tool. Squeezing the moving tension ring towards the
thumb ring extends the loading hook forward towards the tip.

The depth collar and the connected sliding depth ring
are used to set the maximum insertion depth using the depth
scale. Therefore the depth collar can be moved forward and
backward. Set the desired insertion depth by lining up the back
edge of the collar with the corresponding value on the depth scale.
The removal notch is used for removing sizers/devices from
the ear canal.
Loading a sizer/device
The sizers for Lyric2 are replicas of the devices. The handling and
placement is the same as for an actual device. They both have a
black dot indicating the superior position in the canal, a handle
and removal loops, which are used for loading and retaining the
device on the insertion tool and for removal.
To begin loading a sizer/device, squeeze the moving tension ring as
far as it will go towards the thumb ring. This will extend the
loading hook forward towards the tip.
