Wax guard
Your hearing instrument is usually equipped with a wax guard system. This prevents
earwax entering the instrument. Replace the wax guard every two weeks or sooner,
depending on earwax accumulation.
Interton uses two different wax guard systems, depending on the size and type of the
hearing instrument. They are described on the following pages.
• Work at a table. It is easier and avoids your instrument falling onto the floor or items
getting lost.
Cleaning the vent
Your hearing instrument may have a vent, a small canal through
the entire instrument. If so, clean it regularly.
• Insert the vent-cleaning tool – plastic line with handle – into
the vent. Push the cleaning line completely through the
vent.
• Wipe off any collected earwax.
• Pull the line out and wipe off again.
• Repeat this until all the earwax has been removed.
