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

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).
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.
