Intended use
The Cochlear™ Baha® 5 Sound Processor uses bone
conduction to transmit sounds to the cochlea (inner
ear). It is indicated for people with conductive hearing
loss, mixed hearing loss and single sided sensorineural
deafness (SSD). Furthermore it is indicated for bilateral
and paediatric recipients. Fitting range up to 45 dB SNHL.
It works by combining a sound processor and a small
titanium implant that is placed in the skull behind the
ear. The skull bone integrates with the titanium implant
through a process called osseointegration. This allows
sound to be conducted via the skull bone directly to the
cochlea, which improves hearing performance. The sound
processor can be used together with the Baha Softband.
The fitting is to be done either at a hospital, by an
audiologist, or in some countries, by a hearing care
professional.
