WHY DO HEARING AIDS NEED WAX GUARDS?

Nano explains why your hearing aids require wax guards in the first place, how they prevent wax and moisture buildup, and why monthly replacement is recommended. It also outlines five simple steps you can follow to safely remove and replace a wax guard.

Wax guards protect your hearing aids by blocking debris, moisture, and harmful micro-materials from reaching the speaker. This is why you need to replace them every so often, but you also need to make sure you don't damage your hearing aids. Nano Hearing Aids provides a clear method you can rely on to complete proper replacement. After you've done it once, you'll feel like a pro.

A spokesperson for Nano Hearing Aids explains:

“A stuck wax guard can make it difficult to hear properly and can even damage your devices. Wax guards should be removed using a specialized application stick available through the device’s manufacturer.”

THE RIGHT WAY TO REMOVE A STUCK WAX GUARD

Nano says that when you're using the application stick you don't need to force or twist it into the wax guard but instead, use a gentle touch. Once you've got the stick inserted and you've removed your old wax guard, be sure to use the clean side of the stick to insert the new wax guard. After completing these steps, both the used wax guard and the application stick should be discarded.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR WAX GUARDS?

Nano also says that while cleaning tools like brushes can help you maintain your hearing aids, wax guards can't be thoroughly cleaned this way and must be replaced. They recommend you change your wax guards at least once a month, or every two weeks if you naturally have more wax in your ears.
