How to Clean a RIC (Receiver-in-the-canal) Hearing Aid

[@bemdederwin1554]

I was never shown this and have struggled with how to clean my hearing aids. This also looks a bit different from mine when the domes are removed but I am going to try this.

Very helpful - thank you. Nice soothing voice too - you should make ASMR videos!

Volume control? My left HA is super quiet........

Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful cleaning agent for ear wax. Maybe we should clean the eaw wax filter(small white plastic with tiny holes) by soaking it in hydrogen peroxide for a minute and put back into the receiver. Any suggetions?

Thank you.

What if you remove the wax guard to replace it and it looks like there is debris inside?

Still trying to learn how to replace the TUBE on a RIC

My wife creates an excessive amount of ear wax, and has profound hearing loss. I can't find an air vent, and there's no rubber dome to remove. Replacing the wax trap was the first thing I tried. The ear molds are not removable, you need a special tool, the receiver looks like it is inside the mold itself. I tried to fix it myself, she ended up needing a new ear mold. The audiologist she went to retired, and closed his office. We went to several audiologists, non of them will even attempt to clean or repair them. We can't afford the ~$4,000 to replace them, they're rechargeable. What's going on? HELP! I was hoping you would show how to remove the receiver

You didn't clean the tube by removing the tub from the receiver. It is easily blocked br very small pieces of ear wax.

Hearing aids should be called wax collectors🤬

I am amazed that they would use a speaker with such low voice quality and clarity. Sound is poor, editing poor. Shame on you!
