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 5 Power
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.
Indications
The Baha System is indicated for
patients with conductive hearing loss,
mixed hearing loss and single-sided
sensorineural deafness (SSD). The
Baha 5 Power Sound Processor is
indicated for patients with up to 55 dB
SNHL.
Clinical benefit
Most recipients of a bone conduction
hearing solution will experience improved
hearing performance and quality of life
compared to unaided listening.
The fitting is to be done either at a
hospital, by an audiologist, or in some
countries, by a hearing care professional.
