3. Gently wipe the outside of
the hearing aid with a dry
soft cloth. Do not use any
unapproved liquids
(water) to clean your
aid, as damage may occur.
4. •A long loop tool should be
provided with your hearing
instrument. This is intended to
remove any debris or wax build
up. Gently run the tool into the
small openings, picking away
any debris. To prevent speaker
damage, be certain to not push
too deeply.
5. A small brush may also have
been provided. This may be
separate from the loop tool or
combined into one piece on
opposite ends. Turn the aid
away from you and carefully
brush the outside of the aid free
of any debris.
6. If your hearing instrument
uses a wax guard (small
white cup on the receiver
opening), it may need to be
changed every 14-30 days.
Your hearing healthcare
provider will instruct you.
7. A changing stick with a new
guard on one end should be
provided. The empty end will
be placed into the old guard
gently twisted and pulled
away. The new guard will then
be inserted, gently twisted, and
pulled away leaving the new
wax guard behind.
8. Weekly or even daily
maintenance will help your
aids provide good clear
sound quality, and may
prevent the need for
frequency repairs.
