Default Where can I replace this tool?

I sent away for a new Phonak cleaning kit because I wanted to replace one pariticular tool which I have broken. Sadly it turned out to have changed in contents and I ended up with 2 new ones of the tools I don't need and a new long thin wire thing.

The tool I am looking for it a vent cleaner originally for an ITE half-shell hearing aid. It's thicker than the cleaning wire you get for the thin-tube aids and also has a slightly thicker handle on it to hold onto the tool if you don't have the best dexterity, which I don't.

Any ideas where I can replace this? It's the one tool I use the most for everything.

*Additional* I am in the UK btw, but if you can identify a brand that would help me to find a UK seller.

I think I know what you're talking about as I had one when I wore ITEs.
Have you considered trying a needle threader?

I did a quick search online. Here's a link to one site:

Of course, you should be able to get a needle threader at any store that sells sewing needles.
