ReSound Vea supplement— Custom ItC and ItE
located at the end of the sound outlet and prevents
debris from getting into the hearing instrument. If the
hearing instrument seems to have lost power and
changing the battery does not help, the filter may be
blocked and may need to be changed. Your hearing
healthcare professional can instruct you on how to
change the filter.
If your hearing instrument does not have a filter, ear-
wax and/or other debris may collect in the sound out-
let. The cleaning loop, provided with your hearing in-
strument, can easily be used to remove this material.
Your hearing healthcare professional can instruct you
on how to properly use this tool. When using this tool,
be careful not to damage or pull the tubing placed at
the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled out, the
hearing instrument will need to be returned for repair.
wax pRoteCtIon SyStemS
Your instrument may be fit with one of the following
wax protection systems. Consult your hearing health-
care professional to determine whether these systems
apply to your hearing instrument.
When using a wax protection system, a wax filter or
guard is mounted in the sound outlet at the canal end
of the hearing instrument for protection against wax
and moisture. If it becomes blocked, the filter or guard
will need to be replaced.
We suggest checking the wax filter or guard regularly
and exchanging it when it looks dirty or when the hear-
ing instrument volume or sound quality is reduced.
NOTE: Do not use a wax loop to remove debris
from the canal end of the hearing instrument as
it can damage the wax protection system
