Starkey offers various methods of wax protection for your hearing instruments.
The following is a brief description of some of our wax protection options:
WAX PROTECTION GUIDE
HearClear
™*
The Hear Clear exclusive earwax
protection system uses disposable
wax guards. The innovative wax
guards prevent earwax accumulation
in the hearing aid receiver. The Hear
Clear is incompatible with Extended
Receiver Tube, Biconic Wax Guard
and Canal Bell.
Biconic Wax Guard (Wax Spring)
The Biconic Wax Guard is a small coil basket inserted into the
receiver tubing of the hearing aid to prevent wax from reaching
the receiver. The wax spring is typically removed and replaced by a
hearing professional.
Extended Receiver Tubing
The Extended Receiver Tubing increases the distance wax must travel
before reaching the receiver. It potentially allows the user to visualize
the presence of wax before it enters the receiver of the hearing aid.
The Extended Receiver Tubing is incompatible with Waxceptor.
Canal Bell
The Canal Bell recesses the receiver of the hearing aid, making
it more difficult for wax to reach the receiver. The Canal Bell is
incompatible with the Waxceptor.
Instrument Care
Do your best to keep your hearing instrument clean at
all times. Heat, moisture and foreign substances can
result in poor performance.
• Use a cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean debris
from around the switches, microphone and battery
compartment; inspect the receiver, earbud or eartip
and Wax Guard regularly.
• Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids or oil to
clean your instrument.
Your hearing care professional can provide further
information on additional maintenance procedures for
your hearing system if needed.
Hear Clear
™
The Hear Clear exclusive
earwax protection system
uses disposable wax guards.
The innovative wax guards
prevent earwax accumulation
in the hearing aid receiver.
Wireless Accessories*
There are several wireless accessories that allow you to
control and maximize the full potential of your hearing
system. These include a remote control as well as wireless
connection to your cell phone and entertainment system.
Consult with your hearing professional to determine if
your hearing aids have wireless capabilities and which
accessories may be best for you.
