Theft and metal detection
systems and Radio Frequency
ID (RFID) systems:
Devices such as airport metal detectors,
commercial theft detection systems,
and RFID scanners may produce strong
electromagnetic fields. Some Baha users
may experience a distorted sound
sensation when passing through or near
one of these devices. If this occurs, you
should turn off the sound processor when
in the vicinity of one of these devices. The
materials used in the sound processor
may activate metal detection systems. For
this reason, you should carry the Security
Control MRI Information Card with you at
all times.
Electrostatic discharge
A discharge of static electricity can
damage the electrical components of
the sound processor or corrupt the
program in the sound processor. If static
electricity is present (e.g. when putting
on or removing clothes over the head or
getting out of a vehicle), you should touch
something conductive (e.g. a metal door
handle) before your sound processor
contacts any object or person. Prior to
engaging in activities that create extreme
electrostatic discharge, such as playing on
plastic slides, the sound processor should
be removed.
General advice
A sound processor will not restore normal
hearing and will not prevent or improve
a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions.
• Infrequent use of a sound processor
may not enable a user to attain full
benefit from it.
• The use of a sound processor is only
part of hearing rehabilitation and may
need to be supplemented by auditory
and lip reading training.
Warnings
• Contains small parts that may present
a choking hazard.
• Adult supervision is recommended
when the user is a child
• The sound processor and other
external accessories should never
be brought into a room with an MRI
machine, as damage to the sound
processor or the MRI equipment could
occur.
• The sound processor must be
removed before entering a room
where an MRI scanner is located.
12

Advice
• The sound processor is a digital,
electrical, medical instrument
designed for specific use. As such, due
care and attention must be exercised
by the user at all times.
• The sound processor is not
waterproof!
• Never wear it in heavy rain, in the bath
or shower!
• Do not expose the sound processor
to extreme temperatures. It is
designed to operate within the
temperature ranges +5 °C (+41 °F)
to +40 °C (+104 °F). In particular,
battery performance deteriorates
in temperatures under +5 °C. The
processor should not
be subjected, at any
time, to temperatures

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.
