When using the LIZN Hearpieces® in LIZN mode to improve your speech comprehension during face to face communication you need no Bluetooth® connection. Note: the Bluetooth® connection increases the power consumption, so the battery life is longer in LIZN Mode than in Earphone Mode.
Selection and handling of LIZN Heartips?
First of all, the size of the Heartips has to be comfortable. You must not experience an uncomfortable pressure on the ear canal. Secondly, the Heartips have to be large enough to seal the ears to avoid acoustic feedback and squeel. The well defined ventilation hole in the Hearpieces® allows air going into the ear canal. Otherwise you will experience "occlusion" - like being in a bubble, so your own voice would sound hollow.
Please remove the Heartips from the Hearpieces® and clean the Heartips in hand warm water using a mild soap. It is recommended to clean the Heartips on a daily bases depending on your usage pattern. Eventually use a soft cotton swap to clean the loudspeaker "grill" on the Hearpieces® carefully.
You can purchase extra Heartips through your LIZN store or order on the webshop LIZN.com
Placement of LIZN Hearpieces® in the ear
Please place the Hearpieces®, so the flat side of the Hearpiece is towards the ear. Further, to experience the directionality of the sound in LIZN Mode it is important that the two microphone inlets on the Hearpieces® are aligned horisontally and visible from outside.
Please observe R for Right on the flat side of the right Hearpiece and L for Left on the left Hearpiece. It is important to place the Hearpieces® correctly in the ears, and it is important to place them correctly in the Charger using R and L respectively.
Amplification
In LIZN Mode the Hearpieces® analyse the sound environment constantly. Depending on the sound environment, they amplify the consonant level in human speech in the direction you are looking, and dampen all other sounds. The advanced sound processing allows for an increased ability to comprehend speech from the person in front of you. You will experience that you can relax, comprehend and be less tired when visiting restaurants, cafes, offices and similar noisy places.
If you amplify all the sounds around you, your speech comprehension will decrease. This is the case with most cheap Personal Sound Amplifiers and Hearing Aids on the market. The LIZN Hearpieces® are intelligent devices. They dampen the overall sound and simultaneously amplify the level at the frequencies, where you find the consonants in human speech. The combination of directionality and advanced sound processing has proven to a be very efficient in noisy environments and challenging acoustics.
The LIZN Hearpieces® analyze the sound environment constantly so the sound processing is adaptive and amplify the consonant level of the human voice to improve your speech understanding in any sound environment. The Soft preset has the lowest amplification on the consonants in human speech. Medium preset enhance the consonants further, and using the Bright preset you will experience distinct consonants to improve your speech comprehension in noise and challenging acoustics.
Use your finger to do a short TAP on the LEFT Hearpiece - or use the LIZN App.
Use your finger to do a Double TAP on the LEFT Hearpiece - or use the LIZN App.
To answer a phone call you use your finger to do a short TAP on the RIGHT Hearpiece, and the devices will change to Call Mode. The directional microphones in the Hearpieces® will catch your own voice. To deny or to terminate a telephone call you use your finger to do a Double TAP on the RIGHT Hearpiece.

The LIZN Hearpieces® analyze the sound environment constantly so the sound processing will adopt the sound amplification to the background noise. However, the LIZN Hearpieces® can deliver a maximum output of 116 dB SPL.
The LIZN Hearpieces® has a build in Peak Limiter that ensures that the sound pressure from the Hearpiece loudspeakers constantly is kept below 116 decibel. However, be aware that the Hearpiece is not a hearing protection device and therefore cannot be used to shield your ears from loud sounds.
LIZN Hearpieces® are categorized by FDA (Food & Drug Administration) as an OTC (Over The Counter) Hearing Aid for persons with mild to moderate hearing loss. However, the LIZN Hearpieces® will improve speech comprehension for everybody regardless of their specific hearing ability, especially in noise and challenging acoustics. Please consult the WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES in the Safety Regulations.

Waterproof
The LIZN Hearpieces® are sweat-proof and water-resistant, but they are not waterproof. They are not designed to be submerged into water or to be used in the shower.

Sweat and ear wax
The LIZN Hearpieces® are sweat-proof and resistant to ear wax. However, it is important to clean the soft Heartips regularly to avoid ear wax being pushed into the Hearpieces®. See Selection and handling of LIZN Heartips above.
Please remove the Heartips from the Hearpieces® and clean the Heartips in hand warm water using a mild soap. It is recommended to clean the Heartips on a daily bases depending on your usage pattern.
Use of one or two Hearpieces®
It is not recomended to use only one Hearpiece. Using the LIZN Hearpieces® as a single device reduces the experience. The Hearpieces® streams audio in stereo in Earphone Mode so using only one device will allow the user to hear only the right or left part of the stereo signal. In LIZN mode the directionality is created by the combined effect of the two devices. If only one device is used speakers to either the right or the left (dependent on which device is used) is amplified instead of the person you are looking at.
The LIZN Hearpieces® are produced as a set including a charger for a right and a left Hearpiece respectively, so it is not possible to purchase one Hearpiece or two identical.
