Maintenance and care
The wax guard
Your hearing instrument is fitted with a sieve, recess or
guard in the sound outlet. Its purpose is to prevent earwax
from entering the hearing instrument.
Use a soft, dry cloth or small soft brush to gently clean
around the sound outlet
Occasionally take your hearing instrument to your NHS
Audiologist so that the wax guard can be changed
and thorough cleaning of the ventilation channel, the
microphone and sound outlets can take place, and for
general system maintenance.
If excessive wax accumulates when wearing your hearing
instrument consult your NHS Audiologist.
