2. Installation and Usage
Replacing your hearing aid wax guard is a simple process that helps maintain optimal performance and sound clarity. Follow these steps for proper installation:

- Step 1: Insert 'A' Side
Align the removal tool with the old wax guard filter on your hearing aid. Gently insert the 'A' side of the tool into the center of the old filter. - Step 2: Twist & Remove
Once the tool is securely inserted, gently twist and pull the tool to extract the used filter from the hearing aid. Dispose of the used filter responsibly. - Step 3: Flip the Tool
Flip the tool to expose the 'B' side, which contains a fresh, new wax guard filter. - Step 4: Insert 'B' Side
Align the new filter with the opening on your hearing aid. Gently push the 'B' side of the tool into the hearing aid until the new filter is securely in place. The tool will detach, leaving the new filter installed.
3. Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your hearing aid's wax guards is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. The NanoCare surface coating on these wax guards utilizes hydrophobic technology to repel wax and moisture, reducing buildup. However, periodic replacement is still necessary.
- Inspect your wax guards regularly for visible wax or debris accumulation.
- Replace the wax guard immediately if you notice a decrease in sound quality or if the guard appears clogged.
- Always use genuine Signia OEM quality filters for a precise and secure fit, as recommended by audiologists.

4. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your hearing aid, the wax guard may be a contributing factor. Consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Reduced or No Sound: If your hearing aid produces reduced or no sound, the wax guard might be completely blocked by earwax or debris. Replace the wax guard following the installation steps.
- Distorted Sound: Distorted or unclear sound can also indicate a partially clogged wax guard. Replace the wax guard to restore clear audio.
- Difficulty Inserting/Removing: Ensure you are using the correct tool and applying gentle, steady pressure. Do not force the tool or filter, as this can damage the hearing aid.
If problems persist after replacing the wax guard, consult your audiologist or hearing aid professional.
