Excellent, brief video showing exactly how it is done. Good clear voice, I did not find the background music problematic, but to each his / her own. Thanks for posting this. Very helpful.

If you and your husband are not able to easily change a Widex Cerustop or "Wax Guard," then another type of Widex hearing aid with tubing may be more suitable.
