Widex Wax Guard Nanocare

The Widex wax guard Nanocare helps preventing ear wax and moisture from entering the sound outlet of the hearing aid, protecting the receiver from harmful damage. Nano coated filter grid for enhanced moisture protection.

Changing the wax guard on the hearing aid depends entirely on personal use and ear wax build-up in the ear canal. Most hearing aid wearers will change the wax guard every 3-4 weeks, yet for others, it could be fortnightly or every other month. When cleaning the hearing aid, monitor the ear wax production – if the wax guard is clogged, or starts to get clogged, it is time to replace it.

How to use:

These steps will work for many hearing aids. However, if the hearing aid has a dome or ear tip mounted to the speaker/receiver or thin tube, one has to remove it before replacing the wax guard. To replace the wax guard, follow this simple 5 steps:

1. A new wax guard will typically come mounted to the end of a tool that looks like a stick. The other end of the tool will have a hook for removing the current wax guard.
2. Remove the tool from the package and push the hook end of the tool in a straight line into the used wax guard.
3. Gently pull the tool until the used wax guard is released.
4. After the used guard has been removed, insert the new wax guard. Use the tool to place the new wax guard into the speaker/ receiver or thin tube.
5. Remove the tool, and the new wax guard should be securely mounted to the speaker/receiver or thin tube, ready for use.
