*Please note – SDS 4 wires are now discontinued and have been superseded by the directly compatible replacement SDS 5 wires. We still have plenty of stock of SDS 4 wires but they will deplete over time and we can not replace the stock. If when trying to purchase SDS 4 wires you get this message ‘Potential availability issues, please contact us at [email protected]’, you will need to change your order to SDS 5 wires. You can carry on using the same domes you used before, BUT you will also need to purchase and use Cerustop wax guards with SDS 5 wires and NOT Cerushields.
The four receiver wire types are incompatible with each other except SDS4 and SDS 5 are interchangeable – apart from SDS 4 is suitable for Cerushields and SDS 5 is suitable for Cerustops). The easiest way to differentiate is to inspect the tip of the receiver wire with the dome removed, what wax guards is compatible, and also how the wires connect into the body of the hearing aid itself.
See the images, if your receiver wire tip looks like the first image (with the ridged effect) you should order SDS 3 wires, and an additional check for SDS3 compatibility is there will be 2 gold pins connecting into the body of the hearing aid.
If the receiver tip looks like the second image then the receiver wire will either be SDS 4, SDS5 or SDS 6 wires. Where you connect the wire to your hearing aid SDS 4 and SDS 5 have 3 gold pins connecting into the body of the hearing aid (third image) whereas SDS 6 has a flat contact plate with 8 contact strips as per the fourth image.
On the housing of the receiver wire you will see a coloured label, blue is left, red is right. The number is the size of the wire.
On a SDS 3 wire xS is for a standard wire, xP is for a power wire. On an SDS 4, 5 and 6 wire, S is for a standard wire, M is for a medium wire and P is for a power wire.
The image shows a size 3 standard right SDS 3 wire above and a size 3 medium left SDS 4, 5 or 6 wire below.
