Replacing wax filters
Custom hearing instruments may have wax filters that protect against wax and moisture. It is
recommended that these are changed as needed.
To change these filters, the following steps are needed:
1. Brush the sound outlet area with the sound outlet pointed down.
2. Insert the threaded end of the wax filter tool into the used wax filter, and gently rotate
clockwise.
3. Gently pull until the used filter is removed.
4. Discard the used filter in the slot located in the wax filter kit by pressing it into the center,
sliding it to one end of the slot, and pull until the filter is discarded.
