Using phones and other accessories
The best way to use telephones and cell phones with your
Baha sound processor is to hold the phone receiver close to the
microphone inlet of your sound processor rather than close to your
ear. Don’t let your hand or the phone touch the sound processor, as
this may cause it to whistle. When using Baha Cordelle II, the phone
receiver should be next to the microphone on the body-worn unit.
Most landline telephones are “hearing aid compatible” i.e. they have
a built-in telecoil. If you are a Baha 3 System, Baha Divino or Baha
Intenso user, you will need to attach the Baha Telecoil accessory
to your sound processor and switch to the program for external
equipment. For Baha Cordelle II, the telecoil is built into the body-
worn unit, so all you need to do is switch to the Telecoil program.
Telecoils, FM receivers, and Audio adapters are available as optional
accessories for your sound processor. They are easy to order from
your hearing care centre or your local Cochlear office.
Note: FM receivers should be ordered from a hearing care centre or
the FM system manufacturer directly.
