Replacing wax filters
Custom hearing instruments may have wax filters that protect against wax and moisture. It is
recommended that these are changed as needed.
To change these filters, the following steps are needed:
1. Brush the sound outlet area with the sound outlet pointed down.
2. Insert the threaded end of the wax filter tool into the used wax filter, and gently rotate
clockwise.
3. Gently pull until the used filter is removed.
4. Discard the used filter in the slot located in the wax filter kit by pressing it into the center,
sliding it to one end of the slot, and pull until the filter is discarded.
5. Flip the wax filter tool around, locate a new filter in the dial, and press the tip of the tool into
the center of the dial.
6. Gently pull the new filter out of the dial.
7. Align the new filter to the sound outlet.
8. Press the new filter into the opening, and simultaneously pull and rock back and forth until
the new wax filter is in place.
Tip: Pressing on the new filter with the flat side of the wax filter tool can ensure that the
filter is correctly in place.
Note: If a different type of wax filter is used for your hearing instruments, or if your
hearing instruments do not utilise wax filters, consult your hearing care professional for
guidance.
