Changing the wax guard
The wax guard contains a tiny screen that prevents
wax from entering the hearing aids.
Wax guards
are delicate and must be replaced, not cleaned.
A broken wax guard can allow wax to enter the
hearing aids and damage them.
Given that earwax is natural and common, replace
the wax guard on your hearing aids every month
or more frequently as needed. This is easy to do
with the wax guard dispenser and changing tool
you received with your hearing aids.
Gently screw in the threaded end of the changing
tool into the old wax guard and pull out the old
wax guard.
