Well, it's more complicated than that. There's two words in Latin spelled Hiatus. There's the verb, (Hio, Hiare), and there's the noun (Hiatus), which is what I am assuming you are talking about.

The noun is 4th delcelnsion, which means that the plural form of the word is the same as the singular (at least in Nominative, which is the one we typically derive from). So it really depends on when we make it singular. If we derived it from the Nominative Plural, then it's the same. However, if we derive the singular it becomes different, and it becomes hiatuses.

The general accepted way is to derive from the singular and use our own plural rules to make it plural. So technically that's the better way, but do what you like.
