GN Resound LiNX / Live / Alera / Verso / Dot receiver wire (not Enya or LiNX2)
Please check you order the correct type:
- The Low Power (LP) receiver wire is for Dot2 and Live hearing aids (it’s typically marked with the size, followed by ‘L’ or ‘LP’ – e.g. “2LP”)
- The original standard receiver was for Dot, Dot2 and Alera (this was marked with just a number 0-4). The replacement was the NP, and then subsequently, the S receiver wire. Both are compatible with ReSound Dot, Dot2, Alera, Verso and LiNX.
- The High Power HP (marked for example: 2P) comes in two styles, the older HP or newer HP2. Compatible with ReSound Dot, Dot2, Live, Alera, Verso and LiNX.
Note on dome compatibility: NP uses an RIC dome, whereas the newer S wire needs a thin tube dome. The S wire is preferred (the dome is held on more securely).
HP is the previous style and needs a RIC power dome (with a square base), the newer HP2 takes a thin tube power dome. The HP2 wire is preferred – the dome is held on more securely.
Note on wax guards: NP and HP receivers: use a HF3 wax filter and Dot / RIC domes. S and HP2 receivers: use a cerustop wax filter and thin tube domes.
To change: Use a pin tool to lift the microphone cover up at it’s top edge. This will allow the receiver wire to be pulled away.
If you do not know what size of receiver wire you need
have a look near the tip of your old tubes – there should be a number usually Red on the left and Blue on the right.
OR
alternately email us (info@hearingaidparts.co.uk) having taken the measurement from the top of your ear (where spectacles would sit) straight down to the centre of the ear canal entrance in mm – please see picture below.
Replace your receiver tubes ONCE A YEAR for optimal performance
