Replacing the wax guards
Custom hearing aids may have wax guards that protect against wax and moisture. It is recommended that these
are changed as needed. Consult your hearing care professional for advice on how often you need to change
them. This will depend on how much wax your ears produce.
Using the wax guard tool
The top end of the tool is for removal of the old wax guard
from the sound outlet opening. The sound outlet is found in
the part of the hearing aid that goes into the ear.
The bottom end holds the new wax guard which is to
replace the removed wax guard.
1. To remove the old wax guard, insert the removal end of the wax guard tool into the used wax guard so that the
shaft of the tool is touching the rim of the wax guard. Slowly pull the wax guard straight out.
2. To insert the new wax guard, gently press the replacement end of the wax guard tool straight into the hole of
the sound outlet until the outer ring lies flush with the outside of the receiver. Pull the tool straight out. The new
wax guard should remain in place.
NOTE: Pressing on the new wax guard with the flat side of the wax guard tool can ensure that the wax
guard is correctly in place.
