How To Change Your Hearing Aid’s Filter

DID YOU KNOW that a blocked wax filter is almost as common as a dead battery?

Regular cleaning & maintenance of your hearing aid is an excellent way to ensure that you’re always giving yourself the best hearing experience possible.

Follow along with our guide below for a look at how you can change out your Hearing Aid’s Wax Filter.

1. Prepare Your Tool
The tool itself has two pins. The first one is empty and intended to be used for wax filter removal, the other pin will have a new wax filter.

2. Remove Wax w/Tool
Push the empty pin into the wax filter in the speaker and pull it out.

3. Insert New Wax Filter
Insert the new wax filter (found on the other pin), then you may remove the tool and dispose of it.

4. Final Step
The speaker should look clean and unobstructed, as seen in the final image, when you have finished replacing the wax filter.

But First... A Little About Me Originally from India, I joined Audiology First in July 2023 as a Supervisee Audiologist. I hold a four-year Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology from Kerala University of Health Sciences, Kerala, India. I have the experience of working as a clinical audiologist in an ENT clinic in Kerala for three years, before I migrated to Canada, as a permanent resident in 2019 with my family. After completing the supervised practice required by the Alberta College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists (ACSLPA) under the supervision of Glenn Hole, I am now a registered member of ACSLPA. I joined the team as a permanent full-time clinician in November 2023. Working At Audiology First My experience at Audiology First has been so enriching and fulfilling as I pride in the fact that the clinic strives hard to provide its patients with the best possible and evidence-based intervention strategies. Be it obtaining a detailed case history or comprehensive hearing assessments, hearing aid fittings and follow-up appointments or cerumen management (that’s wax removal!) we make sure that the patients leave feeling more confident, listened to and with more knowledge about their hearing loss or hearing aids. How I Think About Hearing Care I believe that effective communication is essential for a fulfilling life, and I strive to empower my patients by providing personalized care and support. In my area of practice, I focus on understanding each patient’s unique needs and lifestyle. Whether it’s fitting hearing aids, offering rehabilitation strategies, or providing education on hearing health, my goal is to ensure that every patient can engage fully with the world around them. I’m excited to work with you and help you achieve the best possible hearing outcomes!
