Using your sound processor

To turn on your Baha 6 Max Sound

Processor, insert a battery and 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 for your sound

processor, all suitable for dierent

environments. To change programs,

press and release the control button.

If enabled, audio and visual signals will

let you know which program you’ve

activated. Repeat the step until you

get conrmation you are in the desired

program.

Adjust volume via the Baha Smart App,

or directly from your compatible Apple

device or Cochlear True WirelessTM

devices. In the user manual, you’ll nd

more information about use, visual

indicators, troubleshooting and more.

Changing 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 your head and hold it

with front facing down. Gently open the

battery door until it’s completely open.

Remove the old battery and get a new

battery from the pack. 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.

www.cochlear.com for tips on

using your new device.

Baha System

Baha Connect

System

If you have received an implant, you

either have a Baha Connect System or a

Baha Attract System. The Baha Connect

System has an abutment you snap your

sound processor onto, and the Baha

Attract System has a magnetic connection

between implant and sound processor.

First weeks after surgery

Once the dressing is removed, follow

the instructions from your hearing health

professional and maintain good daily

hygiene around the abutment to reduce the

risk of redness or soreness. Wash your hair

carefully and use an alcohol-free cleaning

wipe to keep the skin clean.

Daily cleaning

After a few weeks, start cleaning the

outside of the abutment daily using

mild soap and plenty of warm water. An

alcohol-free cleaning wipe should be used

to remove any debris around the base of

the abutment. Once clean, the area should

be gently dried with a clean towel or tissue.

Any hair wrapped around the abutment

should be removed.

Weekly cleaning

The inside of the abutment should be

cleaned on a weekly basis, using alcohol-

free cleaning wipes or mild soap and

warm water to avoid damage of the

sound processor. The cleaning must be

gentle. Should you experience soreness

or inammation, or if the abutment

feels loose, contact your hearing health

professional.

Attaching and removing your

sound processor

Your Baha 6 Max Sound Processor will

snap onto the abutment easily. Attach

it at a slight angle and tilt or rock it into

place, taking care to keep your hair out

of the way. The tilt technique reduces

the pressure on the abutment and

prevents any discomfort. Make sure

you never push the sound processor

straight on to the abutment.

To remove the sound processor, lift

your hair, slide a ngertip under it and

gently tilt it until it snaps o. Never pull

the sound processor straight o the

abutment.

Protecting your abutment

When you’re not wearing your sound

processor, we recommend you protect

the abutment with the press-on

abutment cover provided with your

sound processor.

To order a replacement abutment

cover, contact your hearing health

professional.

Your quick guide to

Baha Attract System

Attaching the Baha SoftWear Pad

1. Remove the old pad from the magnet.

Ensure you remove any adhesive glue

left behind.

2. Remove the cover sheet on the new

pad to expose the adhesive surface.

3. Attach the pad to the magnet. Make

sure it’s centralised and covers the

entire magnet surface.

4. Remove the remaining cover sheet

from the pad before you start wearing

the magnet.

Cleaning

Keep your magnet clean by using a soft

wipe. Do not use running water.

You should change the Baha SoftWearTM

Pad regularly, when it’s worn out or

damaged, or if an accumulation of dirt

or moisture on the pad cannot be wiped

o.

If you experience a gradual deterioration

in wearing comfort (and if changing

the Baha SoftWear Pad does not help),

contact your hearing health professional.

Attaching your sound

processor to the

magnet

Hold the magnet with

one hand or place it on

a at surface. Hold the

sound processor with

the buttons positioned

upwards, tilt it, and

gently snap it into place.

Placing and removing the sound processor

Make sure that the arrow

on the magnet is pointing

upwards and then place

the magnet over the

implant behind your ear.

For optimal retention,

make sure there is not

too much hair underneath

the magnet when placing

it over the implant.

To remove the sound

processor, grasp it

with the magnet still

attached and gently pull

it away. To remove the

sound processor from

the magnet, place one

nger under the sound

processor and gently tilt

until it releases.

Baha Start is our non-surgical bone conduction

solution. You may use this system for your child

until they’re ready for an implantable solution, or

if you or your child can’t have an implant but can

still benet from bone conduction hearing.

Baha Softband

Your quick guide to

Baha Softband

Caring for your Baha Softband

Remove the sound processor and

Baha SoftWear Pad before washing

or cleaning. The Softband can be

handwashed at 40 °C (104 °F). Use a

mild soap but avoid fabric softeners. Do

not tumble dry or iron. The disc can be

cleaned with a small brush. Never use

any strong chemical solutions.

Using your Softband

The Softband is tted with one or two

connector discs (C) for unilateral or

bilateral use and has 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 you or your child has become

accustomed to it. To help avoid any

tenderness, use the Baha SoftWear Pad

and vary the position of the disc on the

head each day.

Attaching the Baha SoftWear Pad

The Baha SoftWear Pad gently adapts

to the contours of the skin. It increases

the area in contact with the skin,

spreading force evenly and smoothly

for a more comfortable experience.

Replace the pad when worn or

damaged.

Step-by-step

Remove the old pad from the connector

disc and any adhesive glue left behind.

1. Remove the cover sheet to expose the

adhesive surface (D).

2. Attach the pad to the connector disc.

Make sure it’s centred and covers the

entire surface (E).

3. Remove the remaining cover sheet

from the pad (F).

Step-by-step

1. Adjust the length of the Softband (A).

2. Attach the sound processor(s) to the

disc(s) (C).

3. Place the Softband on the head and

adjust it to a comfortable t. For

best performance the disc should be

placed at behind the ear or a bony

part of the skull (i.e. forehead).

4. The Baha 6 Max can be turned on

before or after you’ve placed the

Softband on the head. Turn the

volume on the sound processor up

slowly.
