Custom made hearing aids are built to fit the ear canal. Sometimes wax can get into the hearing aid and damage the speaker unit. As such hearing aids are built with filters to prevent such problems.
PHONAK custom made hearing aids are fitted with filters. The images below show how we change the filters.

Put the removal end of the device facing the filter
Positioning the removal tip correctly
Push the removal tool into the blocked filter until it clicks
As you pull away the removal tool the blocked filter will follow along.
Flip the placement device with the new filter facing the eartip
Push the placement device with the new filter end, into the hearing aid.
As you pull away the placement device, the new filter will stay in place. So you can hear better.
We believe that better hearing starts with you. Hearing aid filter changes power you to hear better. Clean filters mean clearer sounds. So check your filters regularly and if you need more help. Contact us at 06-2881407.
