Replacing the wax filter in the mold

The wax filter should be replaced:

• 

When you can see that the filter placed in the mold is clogged. 

• 

When the hearing instrument does not sound normal. 

The size and type of the wax filter depends on the mold style. 

Use the wax filters delivered by your Hearing Care Professional.

Detailed instructions on replacing the wax filter can be found inside  

the wax filter packaging.
