RIC Instrument – Rexton guide & compatibility (Receivers, domes, filters) | Japebo
If you’re looking for Rexton RIC instrument parts, you’re typically trying to replace a worn or broken component—most often the receiver (speaker wire), but sometimes also the domes or wax filters that sit at the ear end. This guide explains what a Rexton RIC instrument is, how compatibility works, and how to choose the correct replacement so you can order with confidence.
What is a Rexton RIC instrument?
RIC stands for Receiver-in-Canal. On a Rexton RIC hearing aid, the main housing sits behind the ear, while the receiver (speaker) sits in the ear canal, connected by a thin wire. This design is popular because it is discreet and often provides clear sound with a comfortable fit.
When people search for “Rexton RIC instrument”, they usually mean one of these replaceable parts:
Receiver / speaker wire (the most common replacement)
Domes (ear tips that control comfort and acoustics)
Wax filters / guards (protect the receiver from earwax and moisture)
How compatibility works for Rexton RIC parts
RIC accessories are not universally interchangeable. With Rexton, the correct match depends on the receiver platform used by your hearing aid and the connection type at the hearing aid end. The most important point: the receiver must match your exact Rexton model family, and the receiver-end accessories (domes and wax guards) must match the receiver style.
If you’re unsure, use these checks before ordering:
Identify your hearing aid model (printed on the device, paperwork, or in the app).
Check the receiver marking (often includes length and power, e.g. “2S”, “3M”, “P”).
Compare pictures/shape of the connector and receiver head to your current part.
Rexton receiver (speaker) options: what the codes mean
Rexton RIC receivers usually vary by:
Length (how far the receiver sits into the ear; commonly marked with a number such as 0–4)
Power level (sound output; often marked as S / M / P or similar)
To choose correctly, match both the length and the power marking from your current receiver. If you choose the wrong length, the fit and comfort can be poor. If you choose the wrong power level, the sound may be too weak, distorted, or incompatible with your fitting.
Choosing the right domes for a Rexton RIC instrument
Domes affect both comfort and sound. The right dome depends on your receiver type and the acoustic needs of your fitting. Common dome styles include:
Open domes – more ventilation; often used for milder losses
Closed domes – more bass and less leakage
Power domes – maximum seal for more amplification
To avoid ordering the wrong dome, check which dome you use today (open/closed/power) and the diameter (size). If your dome frequently slips off, you may need a different size or a different dome type recommended by your hearing care professional.
Wax filters for Rexton RIC: why they matter
Wax filters (also called wax guards) help prevent earwax and moisture from damaging the receiver. If your sound becomes weak, muffled, or intermittent, a clogged wax filter is a common cause.
Important: wax filters are receiver-specific. Matching the correct filter style to your exact receiver is essential for proper fit and protection.
Common problems (and the part you likely need)
No sound or intermittent sound: try changing the wax filter; if the issue remains, the receiver may need replacement.
Muffled sound: wax filter clogged or dome obstructed.
Whistling/feedback: dome may be too small, worn, or not sealing correctly.
Dome falls off: incorrect dome size or worn dome; replace with the correct diameter.
Discomfort: receiver length or dome type may not be optimal.

FAQ: Rexton RIC instrument
Is “RIC instrument” the same as a receiver?
Not exactly. “RIC instrument” describes the hearing aid style (receiver-in-canal). The most commonly replaced component is the receiver, but RIC-related accessories also include domes and wax filters.
Can I use any receiver with my Rexton RIC hearing aid?
No. Receivers must match your Rexton model family and connector type, and you must select the correct length and power level.
How often should I replace domes and wax filters?
It depends on earwax production and daily use, but many users replace domes every few weeks and wax filters whenever sound becomes muffled (or routinely as advised by their hearing care professional).
What if I’m between two receiver lengths?
In most cases, you should match the length printed on your current receiver. If the fit has never been comfortable, consult your hearing care professional before changing length.
