Abstract:
Insertion of a wax guard with a bridge into the receiver tube of a hearing instrument may be accomplished with a tool that grasps the wax guard securely, inserts the wax guard into the tube, and then slides off of the wax guard, leaving the wax guard within the tube.

Abstract:
A space-saving electrical contact assembly for a hearing instrument faceplate can be fashioned by physically conforming the configuration of individual contacts to the battery and the battery door in the faceplate. By providing each contact of the assembly with an interconnected terminal, the wiring of the assembly is reduced.
Abstract:
The dimensions of a hearing instrument can be minimized by positioning the internal components in a configuration that occupies the least amount of volume. A pocket for situating the microphone on a diagonal aids in decreasing the required size of the instrument's shell and facilitates assembly.
