How to Change Phonak Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) Wax Guards – Soundwave Hearing Care
For this video, we’re going to show you how to change your Phonak receiver-in-canal, or RIC, hearing aids wax guard.
So, what you’re going to need is your hearing aid and your wax guard replacements; this particular hearing aid uses the Serra Shield system.
So, you first need to take your hearing aid, grab on the little gray silicone dome, and pull it off.
What you’ve done is you’ve exposed a little white wax filter in the receiver of the hearing aid.
You’re then going to put your hearing aid down and take your Serra Shield system.
As you can see, there are two holes; number one has a garbage can, which is where you dispose of the old filter, and number two has the new replacement.
I recommend that you put this on the table. What you’re going to do is you’re now going to push the little white filter directly into the garbage can or number one.
Push it in and pull it out.
Now, as you may see, there is no filter in the hearing aid anymore.
You’re then going to push it directly into number two. A new filter has now been replaced in the hearing aid.
Your job is then to get the dome. As you can see, there’s a little circle. You’re going to line it up and push it on.
And that is how you change your receiver in the canal wax guard on this Phonak model.
When you need to get to the next replacement, as you can see the garbage can is now full, what you’re going to do is gently balance it put one thumb on either ridge and pull in the opposite direction. Now as you can see, there’s an empty garbage can and a refill for your next hearing aid.

For this video, we’re going to show you how to change your Phonak receiver-in-the canal, or RIC, hearing aid wax guard.
First, pull off the gray silicone dome to expose the white wax filter in the receiver.
Using the Serra Shield system, push the old filter into the ‘trash’ hole until it releases, then push a new filter from the second hole until it clicks into place.
Finally, replace the silicone dome by aligning it and pressing it back on. That’s it — your wax guard is now replaced, and your hearing aid is ready.
