The Alta, Alta Pro, Nera, Ria, Opn, Opn S, Ruby, Siya, Zircon, More, Real and Intent families are the ones usually listed for this filter. Treat that as a guide rather than a guarantee — Oticon has used more than one filter system over the years, and there are power receivers it does not cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eThe reliable test is the guard already in your device. Wax guards from different families look almost identical to the naked eye and do not interchange, so compare the one you are using now, or the packaging your last set came in, against ProWax MiniFit specifically. If you are unsure, your audiologist can confirm which filter your receiver takes in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-prowax-filters\/04_check_your_receiver.png\" alt=\"Check your receiver before you order: these are for receivers that take ProWax MiniFit filters, and look-alike guards do not interchange\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eSmaller than you are picturing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 22px;\"\u003eA wax guard is a white plastic ring roughly the width of a grain of rice. That is why it comes in a holder: each tool clipped into the disc is double-ended, a fine pin at one end to lift the used guard out and a fresh guard already seated on the other end to press in. You handle the tool, never the guard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-prowax-filters\/02_actual_size_on_a_fingertip.jpg\" alt=\"One wax guard resting on the pad of an adult fingertip, far narrower than the fingernail\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;padding:26px;background:#f2f5f9;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:24px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul style=\"font-size:17px;padding-left:22px;margin:0;\"\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:9px;\"\u003eYour choice of a \u003cstrong\u003e3-box\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e6-box\u003c\/strong\u003e pack — the 6-box is simply twice as many changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:9px;\"\u003eDouble-ended tools in a holding disc, so you never handle a guard directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:9px;\"\u003eFor receivers that take ProWax MiniFit filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCompact enough to keep in a travel case\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eChanging one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eTake one tool out of the disc.

Do not clean and reuse a guard; it is designed to be replaced, and cleaning tends to push debris further in. And keep the holder somewhere portable, because a device dulling away from home is exactly when you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-prowax-filters\/07_lives_in_the_case.jpg\" alt=\"The grey filter holder tucked into the owner's own hearing aid case on a bedside table\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eWill these fit my hearing aids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eOnly if your device takes ProWax MiniFit filters. That is the MiniFit receiver family used across Oticon's miniRITE range — Alta, Alta Pro, Nera, Ria, Opn, Opn S, Ruby, Siya, Zircon, More, Real and Intent are the families usually listed. Similar-looking guards from other systems will not seat correctly, so check the guard you are currently using before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eAre these made by Oticon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eNo. These are replacement wax guards supplied by Gear Elevation for devices that take ProWax MiniFit filters.

Change it whenever sound turns muffled or intermittent, or when the guard looks discoloured or blocked. Some people replace monthly; others go considerably longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eMy aid is still quiet after changing the guard.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eThen the guard was not the problem. Check the dome and tubing for blockage and the battery or charge, and if it is still dull, have your audiologist look at the receiver rather than continuing to swap parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eCan I change these myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0;\"\u003eMost people can — the tool is designed so you never handle the guard directly.
