CHANGING WAX GUARD
The wax guard contains a tiny screen that prevents wax from
entering the hearing aid. Wax guards are delicate and must be
replaced, not cleaned. A broken wax guard can allow wax to
enter the hearing aid which can cause damage.
Given that ear wax is natural and common, replace the wax
guard on your hearing aids every 2 - 3 weeks or more frequently
as needed. This is easy to do with the wax guard dispenser and
changing tool you received with your hearing aids.
1. Gently push the threaded end of
the changing tool into the old wax
guard.
2. Turn the changing tool 1/4
clockwise and gently pull the wax
guard straight out to remove from
the device.
Disposing of old wax guard
1. Push the changing tool with the old
wax guard into the center of the
wheel dispenser.
2. Slip off the wax guard by sliding the
tool to the side.
Inserting new wax guard
1. Use the other end of the changing tool to pull out a new
wax guard from the dispenser and insert it into your hi ITC.
