What does this cleaning tool do?

[NancyBC]

HI Everyone,
My hearing aid specialist just gave me a cleaning aid kit with three tools and did not go over it with me. I figured out the pokey one and the brush, but the third tool has a small wire loop on the end and a package of plastic sleeves that seem to fit over the wire part. I have INE Oticon Tego PROs. I know it's a dumb question- but I don't want to damage anything by using it incorrectly.
Thanks for any help!
Nancy

I THINK IT IS for the vent to clean

i usually use the long plastic wire (i call it a cat whisker) to clean the vents, the brush to clean off wax and the plate (gently), and the loop to CAREFULLY clean the receiver hole.

Thanks,
I guess you slip the plastic sleeve over the wire, insert it and then dispose of the sleeve(or clean it) if wax is present.
I'm so thankful for this forum so I can attend Hearing Aid Class101 lol I now know more about what to ask my HA specialist when I go back today. He essentially put them in and sent me out without any real information or instruction. Hope he is willing to answer and spend time with me.
Thanks again,
Nancy
