11 golden rules

for handling your sound processor

Although your Baha Sound Processor is

designed to withstand everyday wear and tear,

here are some golden rules to keep in mind.

01 You can wear your sound processor all day long,

except when sleeping.

02 When taking part in activities where you could

lose your sound processor (e.g. contact sports),

either remove it or use the safety line provided.

03 Your sound processor is not waterproof.

Never wear it in the shower or when swimming.

In heavy rain, use an umbrella.

Step 2: Learn the basics

of your device

04 To avoid feedback (whistling), do not let

objects (e.g. hat, hairbrush, phone, glasses)

come in contact with the sound processor.

Also, ensure that the battery door is correctly

attached and closed and that the sound

processor sits in its correct position.

05 Clean the external casing of your sound

processor regularly with a sound processor

cleaning wipe, and clean the snap coupling

with the small sound processor brush.

06 When adjusting your sound processor,

make sure your hands are clean and avoid

getting the casing dirty.

07 When using hair products, always remove or

cover your sound processor to avoid damaging

the microphone or the casing.

08 Your sound processor cannot withstand

extreme temperatures. Never leave it on

the dashboard in your car in bright sunlight

or expose it to any other kind of extreme

temperature.

09 If visiting or living in an area with high humidity,

use a Dry Aid Kit (a bag or container that

contains crystals that absorb moisture from

your sound processor) to keep your sound

processor in good working order.

10 To store your sound processor safely after

use, remove the battery and place the sound

processor in its case (or a Dry Aid Kit).

11 When traveling, your sound processor

or implant may set oairport security metal

detectors. Make sure the wireless functionality

is turned o(ight mode) when boarding

a plane. Security control instruction cards

are included in the document pack.

Learn the basics of the

Baha®6 Max Sound Processor

Using your sound processor

To turn on your Baha 6 Max Sound Processor, close the battery door

completely. To turn oyour sound processor, gently open the battery door

until you feel the rst “click”.

Together with your hearing health professional, you will have selected

up to four pre-set programs, all suitable for dierent environments,

for your sound processor. To change programs, press and release the control

button once. If enabled, audio and visual signals will let you know which

program you have changed to. Repeat the step until you get conrmation

you are in the desired program.

Adjust volume with the Baha Smart App, your Android or Apple smart phone

or wireless devices.

In the user manual, you’ll nd more information about use, wear, audio

and visual indicators, troubleshooting and more.

Change batteries

Only use batteries supplied or recommended by Cochlear. Baha 6 Max

uses a 312 size type hearing aid battery (1.45 Volt zinc air, non-rechargeable).

To replace a battery, remove the sound processor from the head

and hold it with the front facing down. Gently open the battery door

until it’s completely open.

Remove the old battery and get a new battery from the packet. Peel away the

sticker on the + side and insert the new battery into the battery compartment

with the + side facing up. Gently close the battery door.

If you have the optional tamper-resistant battery door, you’ll need to insert

the tamper resistant tool or the tip of a pen in the small hole on the battery

door to unlock and turn othe device. Gently open the door. To lock and

turn on the device, gently close the battery door until it’s completely closed.

Baha Softband

Baha®Start

Baha Start is our non-surgical bone conduction solution for

your child until they’re ready for an implantable solution. You

can also use Baha Start to try bone conduction hearing before

getting a bone conduction implant, or if you can’t have an

implant but can still benet from bone conduction hearing.

you either have a Softband or a SoundArc.

Your quick guide to Baha®Softband

The Baha Softband is intended for test situations, for young children

and for long-term use for people who cannot have an implant

but can still benet from bone-conduction hearing amplication.

Wearing your Softband

The Softband is tted with one or two connector discs (C) with a built-in

safety release (B), designed to open if the Softband should catch on an

object. For the rst few weeks the Softband can be worn for shorter periods

of time until the wearer has become accustomed to it. To help avoid any

tenderness use the Baha SoftWear™Pad and vary the position of the disc

on the wearer’s head each day.

Step-by-step

For best performance the disc should be placed at behind the ear

or a bony part of the skull (i.e. forehead).

4Turn the volume on the sound processor up slowly.

Replacing the Baha SoftWear™ Pad

Replace the pad when worn, damaged,

or dirt or moisture cannot be wiped o.

Step-by-step

1Remove the old pad from the connector disc,

and any adhesive residue left behind.

it is centered and covers the entire surface.

Cleaning your Softband

Remove the sound processor and Baha SoftWear

Pad before washing or cleaning. Clean the Softband

by handwashing at 40°C (104°F) or cooler. Use a mild

soap but avoid fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry

or iron. The disc(s) can be cleaned with a small brush.

Never use any strong chemical solutions.

Your quick guide to Baha®SoundArc™

The Baha®SoundArc™is an alternative to the Softband. It can be

used for test situations and for long-term use for adults and children.

Wearing your Baha SoundArc

with the Baha sound processor attached to the connector disc just behind

the ear. It can be used on one side or both by adding a connector disc.

or dirt or moisture cannot be wiped o.

Step-by-step

1Remove the old pad from the connector disc,

and any adhesive residue left behind.

Step-by-step

1Make sure the tips rest slightly in front of the

ears and the connector disc is placed above

and behind the ear.

2S l i d e t h e d i s c t o t h e p o s i t i o n s h o w n i n t h e i m a g e .

It should not wobble. Ensure the disc sits ush

against the skin. To avoid feedback, do not place

the disc too close to the ear.

3If the SoundArc falls backward, does not stay

on or there is a gap at the back of the head,

bend open at point A and inwards at B.

4Fit the SoundArc with any accessories (glasses,

etc.) in place, so they can be removed without

aecting the position of the SoundArc.
