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.
