How often should I replace the hearing aid filter?

The extent to which a filter needs to be replaced depends on the amount of earwax that a person produces. Too much earwax ultimately results in blockage. As a result, the hearing aid will no longer function optimally. For some people this means that filters need to be replaced weekly, while others only need to do this monthly or annually.

When the hearing aid no longer works properly or even stops working at all, there are often two reasons. For example, the batteries may be dead (most common) or the filters may be clogged. If the batteries of your hearing aid are still good but you are still experiencing problems, it is advisable to replace the filter of your hearing aid.
