Longer-Term Care
In this section, we will discuss Longer-Term Care of the Eargo devices,
that is replacing the internal wax guard.
You shouldn’t need to do this every time you change the Flexi Fibers,
since the Flexi Fibers are the first line of defense against wax. When
changing the Flexi Fibers, give a look at the internal wax guard and
make sure it’s clean. If it is, you’re all set. If not, then you can try to
clean or replace the internal wax guard. To clean the wax guard of wax
and other debris, gently brush the wax guard with the tip of the device
pointed down to let gravity help pull wax away.
You can also change this wax guard anytime you notice a substantial
amount of wax build up or roughly every 3 to 5 months. The time to
change will vary depending on the amount of wax you may produce.
WAX OFF, WAX ON
