used for test situations and for long-term use for adults and children.
Wearing your Baha SoundArc
The SoundArc is designed to sit above the ears and be worn behind the head,

It should not wobble. Ensure the disc sits ush
against the skin. To avoid feedback, do not place

the disc too close to the ear.
3 If the SoundArc falls backward, does not stay
on or there is a gap at the back of the head,
bend open at point A and inwards at B.

etc.) in place, so they can be removed without
