Here’s how to change the wax guards on most Receiver in Canal and Concealed in Canal Hearing Aids. We’ll be adding videos of each of the manufacturer models over time.

Replacing the wax guard/filter in a Receiver in Canal Hearing Aid
Written Instructions
1: Remove your dome (if you’re unsure how to do this, please see HERE)
2: Here’s the filters on both receiver and concealed in canal
3: There’s an empty ‘nipple’ on the end of the Cerustop
4: Push the nipple into wax filter and ease the old wax guard/filter out
5: Turn the Cerustop stick around and place the new wax filter/guard into place. Discard the Cerustop and old wax guard.
6: Some systems use a Cerushield disc, other a Oticon prong. In essence all the same. An empty nipple for the old filter and a new filter on the other end/side.
7: With this shield system you would push the receiver into the empty number one hole to remove the old filter and then into number 2 to add the replacement.
