Introduction

One of the most common reasons that over-the-ear hearing aids stop working is a broken Receiver Wire, but not many people know that this is something that is easy to fix. Doing it yourself will save you time and money and it will lengthen the life of your hearing aid. Brand new Replacement Receiver Wires can be easily found on eBay, which is where I purchased mine. Once you know how to find exactly what you need and order it, this guide will show you how to replace the broken Receiver Wire on your Widex Evoke 440 Hearing aid.

Step 1

This is the Widex Evoke 440 Hearing Aid that we will be replacing the receiver wire on. Colors may vary.

Step 2

Look for the exact part number you need, which is on the end of your Receiver.
The first letter corresponds to the strength of the receiver. It will be S for small, M for medium, or P for power.
The number corresponds to the length of the wire.
The next letter corresponds to which side the receiver is for, so it will be either L or R for left or right.

Step 3

Remove the battery from your hearing aid.

Step 4

Put your index finger under the curve in the wire near the base of the receiver.
Put your thumb over the receiver wire and grasp it tightly.
Pull the wire straight up out of the hearing aid.

Step 5

Your new hearing aid receiver wire will look like this out of the box.

Step 6

Slide the small plug at the end of the receiver into the hearing aid.
Push it all the way into the hearing aid by pushing down on the edge of the plug with your fingernail.
