1. Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of the Cochlear™ Baha®6 Max Sound Processor.

This manual is full of tips and advice on how to best use and care for your

Baha sound processor. Be sure to discuss any questions or concerns that you

may have regarding your hearing or use of this system with your hearing care

professional.

1.1 Overview

NOTE

Additional illustrations, figures 1-9, can be found on the inside of the cover of this user

manual.

1.2 Intended use

The Cochlear Baha System uses bone

conduction to transmit sounds to the

cochlea (inner ear) with the purpose

of enhancing hearing. The Baha 6 Max

Sound Processor is intended to be used

as part of the Cochlear Baha System to

pick up surrounding sound and transfer

it to the skull bone via a Baha Implant,

Baha Softband or Baha SoundArc™ and

can be used unilaterally or bilaterally.

1.3 Indications

The Cochlear Baha System is indicated

for patients with conductive hearing loss,

mixed hearing loss and SSD (single-sided

sensorineural deafness). The Baha 6 Max

Sound Processor is indicated for patients

with up to 55 dB SNHL (sensorineural

hearing loss).

Snap coupling

Indicator light

Control button

Microphone ports

Attachment hole

1.4 Clinical benefit

Most recipients of a bone conduction

hearing solution will experience improved

hearing performance and quality of life

compared to unaided listening.

1.5 Warranty

The warranty does not cover defects or

damage arising from, associated with,

or related to the use of this product with

any non-Cochlear processing unit and/

or any non-Cochlear implant. See the

“Cochlear Baha Global Limited Warranty

card” for more details.

2. Use

2.1 Turn on and off

See figure 1

The battery door is used to turn the sound

processor on and off.

1. To turn on your sound processor,

close the battery door completely.

2. To turn off your sound processor,

gently open the battery door until you

feel the first “click”.

When your sound processor is turned

off and back on again, it will return to

Program 1 and default volume level. If

enabled, audio and/or visual signals will

let you know that the device is starting up.

See chapter 5, “Audio and visual indicators”.

2.2 Sound processor indicators

See figure 2

Audio signals and the visual indicator

will alert you of changes to your sound

processor. For a complete overview see

chapter 5, “Audio and visual indicators”.

2.3 Change programs

See figure 3

You can choose between programs to

change the way your sound processor

deals with sound. You and your hearing

care professional will have selected up

to four pre-set programs for your sound

processor.

Program 1 __________________________________

Program 2 __________________________________

Program 3 __________________________________

Program 4 __________________________________

English

These programs are suitable for different

listening situations. Ask your hearing

care professional to fill in your specific

programs on the lines in the previous

page.

1. To change the program, press and

release the control button located on

the top of your sound processor once.

2. If enabled, audio and visual signals

will let you know which program you

have changed to. See chapter 5, “Audio

and visual indicators”.

3. To change to any of the other

programs pre-set by your clinician,

repeat above steps until you get

confirmation that you are in the

desired program.

NOTE

If you are a bilateral recipient,

program changes you make to one

device will automatically apply to the

second device. This function can be

enabled or disabled by your hearing

care professional.

2.4 Adjust volume

Your hearing care professional has set the

volume level for your sound processor.

NOTE

You can change the program

and adjust the volume using the

optional Cochlear Baha Remote

Control, Cochlear Wireless Phone

Clip, Baha Smart App or from your

compatible smart phone or smart

device. See section 4.3, “Wireless

devices”.

2.5 Share the experience

See figure 4

Family members and friends can “share

the experience” of bone conduction

hearing using the Cochlear test rod,

provided with the sound processor.

1. Turn on your sound processor and

attach it on the test rod by tilting

it into place. You will feel the snap

coupling “click” into the notch on the

test rod.

2. Hold the test rod against the skull

bone behind an ear. (Ensure you are

holding the test rod, and not the

sound processor). Plug both ears and

listen.

3. Power

3.1 Battery type

The Baha 6 Max Sound Processor uses a

312 size type hearing aid battery (1.45 Volt

zinc air, non-rechargeable). Batteries

should be replaced as needed, just as

you would with many other electronic

devices. Battery life will vary with e.g. daily

use, volume levels, wireless streaming,

sound environment, program setting, and

battery strength.

3.2 Low battery indication

If activated, the visual and audio signals

will alert you when there is approximately

one hour of battery power remaining

(at this time you may experience lower

amplification). If the battery runs down

completely, the sound processor will stop

working.

3.3 Change the battery

See figure 5

1. To replace the battery, remove your

sound processor from the head and

hold the sound processor with the

front facing down.

2. Gently open the battery door until it is

completely open.

3. Remove the old battery and dispose

of it according to local regulations.

4. Remove the new battery from the

packet and peel away the sticker on

the + side.

5. Insert the battery into the battery

compartment with the + side

facing up.

6. Gently close the battery door.

WARNING

Batteries can be harmful if swallowed,

put in the nose or in the ear. Be sure

to keep your batteries out of reach of

small children and other recipients in

need of supervision. Before use, verify

that the tamper-resistant battery

door is properly closed. In the event

a battery is accidentally swallowed, or

stuck in the nose or in the ear, seek

immediate medical attention at the

nearest emergency centre.

English

NOTE

• To maximise battery life, switch off

the sound processor when it is not

in use.

• Battery life decreases as soon as

the battery is exposed to air (when

the plastic strip is removed), so be

sure to only remove the plastic strip

directly prior to use.

• If a battery leaks, replace it

immediately.

3.4 Tamper-resistant battery door

See figure 6

To prevent the accidental opening of

the battery door, an optional tamper-

resistant battery door is available. This is

particularly useful to prevent children, and

other recipients in need of supervision,

from accidentally accessing the battery.

Contact your hearing care professional for

a tamper-resistant battery door.

To use the tamper-

resistant battery door:

1. To unlock and turn off the device,

carefully insert the tamper resistant

tool or the tip of a pen in the small

hole on the battery door and gently

open the door.

2. To lock and turn on the device, gently

close the battery door until it is

completely closed.

4. Wear

4.1 Safety line

See figure 7

The safety line is designed to reduce the

risk of dropping or losing your processor.

You can attach a safety line that clips onto

your clothing:

1. Pinch the loop on the end of the

safety line between your finger and

thumb.

2. Pass the loop through the attachment

hole in the sound processor from

front to back.

3. Pass the clip through the loop and

pull the line tight. Attach the clip to

your clothing.

NOTE

Cochlear recommends connecting the

safety line when engaging in physical

activities. Children should use the

safety line at all times.

4.2 Flight mode

See figure 8

Activate flight mode in situations when

you need to deactivate radio signals

(wireless functionality), such as when

boarding a flight or other areas where

radio frequency emission is prohibited.

To activate flight mode:

1. Open and close the battery door on

your sound processor three times

(open-close, open-close, open-close)

within a 10-second period.

2. If enabled, audio and visual signals

will confirm that flight mode is

activated. See chapter 5, “Audio and

visual indicators”.

Follow these steps to

deactivate flight mode:

1. Make sure your sound processor has

been running for at least 15 seconds

before you attempt to turn off flight

mode.

2. To turn off flight mode, open and

close the battery door once on your

sound processor.

3. Let the sound processor run for

another 15 seconds or more before

turning it off to be certain that flight

mode is deactivated.

4.3 For users with two

sound processors

To make identification easier, ask your

hearing care professional to mark your

left and right sound processor with the

coloured stickers provided (red for right,

blue for left).
