How often should I replace a hearing aid filter?

The period in which a hearing aid filter needs to be replaced depends on the amount of earwax a person has. Too much earwax can ultimately cause blockage. As a result, the hearing aid will no longer work optimally or may even stop working altogether. For some people this means that filters need to be replaced daily or weekly, while others only need to do this monthly or annually.

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