The APT-D is designed for a shallow location in the ear canal, so wax is typically less of
an issue than with traditional ITEs. Still, a wax guard is used to insure against wax
damage to the receiver. A wax guard tool is used for the removal and insertion of the wax
guards. The threaded end of the tool is used for removing the used wax guard and the
opposite end is used for inserting a new wax guard (

A lapel clip can be used to support the programming cable during a fitting session. This
helps prevent the weight of the cable from pulling the device out of the patient’s ear (
fig
