Rexton BiCore RIC Series Accessories & Compatibility Guide | Japebo
If you’re looking for the right parts and accessories for Rexton BiCore RIC hearing aids, you’re in the right place. This guide explains which Rexton BiCore RIC series models use which common accessories, how to choose the correct size/type, and how to avoid ordering parts that don’t fit. Because small differences (like receiver type, dome system, or filter style) can affect comfort and sound quality, it’s worth checking compatibility before you buy.
What is the Rexton BiCore RIC series?
Rexton BiCore RIC refers to Rexton’s receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids in the BiCore family. With RIC models, the speaker (receiver) sits in the ear canal and connects to the hearing aid behind the ear via a thin wire. That design makes receiver choice, dome choice and wax protection especially important—these are the parts that most often need replacement.
Which accessories are typically used with Rexton BiCore RIC hearing aids?
Most users will need one or more of the following accessory types for the Rexton BiCore RIC series:
Receivers (speaker units) – the most model-specific component; must match the correct platform and power level.
Domes / ear tips – affect comfort, retention and sound; need the right system and size.
Wax protection (wax guards / filters) – protects the receiver from earwax and moisture; must match the receiver/dome system.
Retention locks (if applicable) – help keep the receiver stable in the ear.
If you’re unsure which category you need, start by identifying the part you’re replacing (receiver, dome, or wax filter). If sound is weak or cuts out, the issue is often a clogged wax guard or a worn receiver rather than the hearing aid itself.
Compatibility: what you must check before ordering for Rexton BiCore RIC
To choose correctly for the Rexton BiCore RIC series, focus on these checks:
1) Receiver platform / connector
Receivers are not universal. The connector and the receiver family must match your specific Rexton BiCore RIC model. If you’re replacing a receiver, the safest approach is to match the exact receiver you currently have (same connector type and series).
2) Receiver power level
Receivers usually come in different power levels (e.g., standard vs higher power). Using the wrong power level can change loudness, feedback behavior, and fitting range. If you don’t know your power level, check markings on your current receiver or your fitting paperwork.
3) Wire/receiver length (left/right + length number)
RIC receivers are sided (L/R) and come in different lengths. A wrong length can cause discomfort or poor retention. Match the length printed on your current receiver wire whenever possible.
4) Dome system and size
Domes must fit the specific receiver/nozzle system used by your Rexton BiCore RIC receiver. After you confirm the correct dome “system,” choose the size (typically measured in mm) based on comfort and seal. An overly open fit can reduce bass and make sound thin; an overly closed fit can feel blocked and may increase occlusion.
5) Wax filters / guards type
Wax guards are also system-specific. If your wax filter does not match the receiver/dome system, it may not sit properly or can block sound. When replacing wax filters, always choose the specific type designed for your receiver.
How to choose the right option (quick decision guide)
Use this process for the Rexton BiCore RIC series:
Replacing a dome? Identify your current dome style (open / closed / power) and match the dome system. Then choose the same size as your current dome.
Replacing wax guards? Remove one current filter and compare it to the replacement type (shape/fit). If you’re uncertain, identify the receiver first—wax guards follow the receiver/dome system.
Replacing a receiver? Match connector/platform, choose the same power level, confirm left/right, and match wire length. If your receiver has frequent cut-outs, replacement is often the correct fix.
Common problems with Rexton BiCore RIC accessories (and what to do)
Sound is weak, intermittent, or gone
Start with the simplest causes: replace the wax guard and check the dome for blockage. If the problem persists, the receiver may be failing and could need replacement.
Whistling / feedback
Feedback often happens when the dome doesn’t seal well (too small/open), the receiver isn’t seated correctly, or the dome is worn. Try a fresh dome in the correct size/style. If you recently changed receiver power level or dome type, that can also affect feedback.
Dome keeps slipping off
This usually indicates a mismatch between the dome system and the receiver nozzle, or a stretched/worn dome. Replace with the correct system dome and consider a new dome more frequently if you remove the aids often.
Discomfort or “plugged” feeling
Consider switching from a more closed dome to a more open style (if appropriate for your hearing loss) or adjusting dome size. Comfort is highly individual, but matching the correct system and size is the first step.

FAQ: Rexton BiCore RIC series accessories
Are Rexton BiCore RIC receivers universal?
No. Receivers must match the correct receiver family/connector for your BiCore RIC model, and they must also match the correct side (L/R), length, and power level.
Can I change dome type to improve sound?
Yes. Dome type affects the seal and therefore bass response and feedback behavior. However, you must use a dome that matches your receiver’s dome system, and changing from open to more closed can change how your own voice sounds.
How often should I replace domes and wax guards?
It depends on earwax, humidity, and wear, but wax guards are typically replaced more often than receivers. Replace domes when they feel loose, look worn, or no longer seal/hold well.
If my sound cuts out, is it always the receiver?
Not always. A clogged wax guard is a very common cause. Try replacing the wax guard first; if the issue continues, the receiver or the cable connection may be the cause.
