What are Bernafon Filters?
Bernafon filters are small but essential parts of your hearing system. They are placed inside the speaker or earmold and serve as a protective layer against dust, dirt and especially earwax. Because hearing aids are in your ear every day, they can quickly become dirty. A clogged filter can reduce or even block sound quality, reducing your hearing.
Changing your filters regularly not only keeps the sound clear, but also extends the life of your hearing aid.
Why are Bernafon Filters Important?
1. Protecting Your Hearing Aid.
Filters prevent wax and dirt from reaching your hearing aid’s internal components, which can prevent damage and costly repairs.
2. Preservation of Sound Quality
Clean filters ensure that sound remains clear and is not muffled or distorted.
3. Prevention of Failures
A clogged filter can cause your hearing aid to malfunction or even stop producing sound altogether.
4. Extending the Life of Your Hearing Aid.
By changing filters regularly, you prevent dirt from accumulating and damaging parts.
What Types of Bernafon Filters Are There?
Bernafon offers different types of filters depending on the type of hearing instrument and speaker. Some of the most commonly used filters are:
- Bernafon NanoCare Filters – Suitable for many Bernafon hearing aids with receiver-in-the-ear (RIC). These filters provide excellent protection against dirt and moisture.
- Bernafon HF3 Filters – Commonly used in ear pieces of Bernafon hearing instruments. These filters are easy to replace and ensure optimal sound quality.
- Bernafon Wax Guards – Special wax filters that help keep ear wax out and preserve hearing aid function.
It is important to use the right type of filter for your particular hearing aid.
How Do You Replace Bernafon Filters?
Replacing filters is a simple process that you can do yourself at home. Follow these steps:
- Remove the old filter – Use the tool provided (such as a filter changer) to carefully remove the old filter from the speaker or earpiece.
- Insert the new filter – Take a new filter and carefully place it in the same place where the old filter was.
- Check fit – Make sure the filter is firmly in place and does not come loose.
- Test your hearing aid – Turn on your hearing aid and check that the sound is clear and audible.
If the sound is still not good, check if the hearing aid needs further cleaning or if there may be another problem.
How Often Should You Change Bernafon Filters?
The frequency with which you should change filters depends on how much earwax you produce and how often you wear your hearing aids. In general, it is recommended to:
- Filters to be replaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
- Change filters more often if you notice the sound is muffled or disappearing.
- Replace filters immediately if they are clogged or discolored.
Regular replacement prevents interference and ensures a consistent listening experience.
