The Oticon O-Cap and T-Cap filters are microphone covers/protectors for Oticon In-The-Ear (ITE), In-The-Canal (ITC) and Completely-In-The-Canal (CIC) hearing aids. They have a nano-coating to prevent dirt and wax from entering the microphone of the hearing aids, and are available in 4 colours (beige, dark brown, light brown, medium brown) to match the faceplate of your hearing aid.
When to replace the O-Cap and T-Cap Filter:
Change your O-Cap or T-Cap filter once a month or sooner if you notice the sound quality of the hearing aids has become muffled or diminished.

How to replace the O-Cap and T-Cap Filter:
Your O-Cap/T-Cap filter package will have several application tools with a new filter on each end. Remove one tool from the package. The tool has two ends: one for removal and one with the new O-Cap/T-Cap filter. To remove the old filter, push the pointed end of the tool into the existing O-Cap/T-Cap filter on the hearing aid and pull it out. To replace, insert the new O-Cap/T-Cap filter using the other end of the tool, twist slightly, and remove. Discard the tool after use.
