This video explains step by step how to troubleshoot your hearing aids by going over cleaning tips and techniques for the Oticon OPN S hearing devices.
Thank you so much for this video! My husband's hearing aid stopped working and this was the problem. We wouldn't have known how to change the filter without watching your video.
Not sure but I believe they refer to these hearing aids in this video as "open fit," given that they also talk about the "receiver" and also the "wax filter" I would suggest that this is actually RIC Hearing Aid (Receiver In Canal)
Thanks for the comment Steve! RIC is a very generic term that could be used for nearly any type of device where the recevier (or speaker) is in the ear. This type of device could also be considered a BTE (behind the ear) even though BTE is generally used to refer to high-power hearing aids that do not have a speaker in the ear canal itself. To make things more confusing, some manufactuers (like Oticon) use the term mRITE (mini receiver in the ear) or Resound that use mRITE (mini receiver in the ear). So, at one time, a device could be a BTE that is a RIC but also a mRITE. It can be confusing, which is one reason we recommend seeking out the services of a licensed doctor of audiology to help you navigate all of the acronyms and help you find the correct device for your situation!

How do I open the clamshell (two halves) to get at the circuit board? Do they just snap together? THX
