The Cochlear™ Baha® SoundArc is a non-surgical bone conduction device; it is designed to sit
above the ears and be worn behind the head, with the Baha sound processor attached to the
connector disc just behind the ear.
• Suitable for conductive, mixed hearing loss
and single-sided sensorineural deafness
• Available in four sizes (S, M, L, XL)
• Bilateral through additional connector disc
Ensuring the best experience
The Baha SoundArc should sit comfortably. To achieve good retention, a comfortable fit and good connector disc contact adjustment maybe is necessary.
This may require you to firmly bend the Baha SoundArc.
If the Baha SoundArc falls backward, is not well retained, or there is a gap at the back of the head then,
• Bend open at point A and inwards at B.
Fit on the patient's head and check the placement of the connector disc and the location of soft tips.
If the soft tips are too far forward from the ear or pinna: change to a smaller size.
If the soft tips are too far back from the ear or pinna: change to a larger size.
Counsel the patient
• Have the patient practice taking the Baha SoundArc on and off.
• Counsel the patient on the proper placement of the connector disc.
• Instruct the patient on how to adjust and bend the Baha SoundArc.
• Tell the patient to gradually increase the wearing time over the first few days.
If the Baha SoundArc is used as a demo tool, clean it thoroughly with alcohol wipes
between users and replace the Baha SoftWear Pad.
