Maintaining Your Hearing Aid

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.
