Hearing Aid Ear Wax Guard Filters for Phonak/Resound/Widex/Unitron/Jungle Care
Category: phonak hearing aid accessories
The ear wax guard plays a crucial role in maintaining the functionality of hearing aids by preventing ear wax, dust, grease, and moisture from accumulating and blocking them. It's essential to replace these guards regularly—ideally every week or month—depending on the individual's ear canal condition, as this can vary significantly among people. To ensure optimal performance, the filter should be changed before it becomes completely filled with ear wax or dust; otherwise, there is a risk that the hearing aid's speaker may become obstructed.
Steps to Replace the Wax Guards
-
Retrieve a Stick: First, remove a stick from the packaging. The top of the stick is designed for removal, while the opposite end holds a new wax filter that will be used for the replacement.
-
Remove the Old Guard: Insert the removal end of the stick into the existing wax guard. Gently rotate while pulling the wax guard out, and safely dispose of it.
-
Insert the New Guard: Take the end of the stick that holds the new wax guard filter and gently insert it into the hole where the original wax guard was removed.
-
Secure the New Guard: Once inserted, the new wax guard will typically detach from the stick and remain securely in place. In some cases, you may need to assist in separating the new guard from the stick using your fingernail.
-
Visual Reference: Additionally, you can consult the accompanying picture guide for further clarification on the replacement process.
