This review is from: Phonak, Resound, Unitron & Widex Hearing Aid Wax Guards
My Phonak hearing aids have been very reliable but they do require simple maintenance, like changing domes and wax traps from time to time. New users of hearing aids may be suprised the first time or two when the wax traps get plugged: suddenly, you don’t hear anything. Perhaps you try changing batteries or drying off the instrument…and you still don’t hear anything. I have found that this was a good indication that the wax trap(s) had been plugged and needed changing. These simple matchstick like items contain a tool on one end for detaching and removing the full trap and the other end has a new trap mounted in a way that easily permits it to be put in place. The tool can easily be removed after installation, too. Frequency of changes depend on how much wax a person’s ears produce and what other (regular) cleaning you give the ears but mine are good for about two months per trap. These work fine for me…just keep them where you can find them since the pack is about the size of a matchbook.

I have Phonak Audeo Yes IX hearing aids and these work perfectly. The “stick” has a removal tool on one end to remove the old wax guard and the new wax guard is on the other end. Simply pull out the old and push in the new. Great product.

You Need Wax Traps,

Won’t work with at least some Phonak models,
Make sure (I don’t know precisely how) that this will work with your Phonak hearing aid. The guards are much to small to fit the one we have.

Works great and easy to use,
I have Phonak Audeo Yes IX hearing aids and these work perfectly. The “stick” has a removal tool on one end to remove the old wax guard and the new wax guard is on the other end. Simply pull out the old and push in the new. Great product.
