How to look after your Baha®System

– and yourself!

Your Baha®sound processor is part of a sophisticated hearing

system full of delicate microelectronic components, so you

must take care of it – and yourself!

This brochure shows you what to do after the surgery and how to keep

your Baha sound processor and the abutment site in prime condition. The

procedures outlined both here and in the accompanying DVD are so easy to

follow, that they’ll soon become part of your daily routine.

And the rewards will be well worth the effort! With a Baha system you’ll be

able to hear and communicate with ease.

After surgery

For the best result, you need to take care of the abutment to avoid

any complications with the surrounding tissue. If the area has healed,

the dressing and stitches will be removed 10–14 days after surgery. If

not, the dressing may have to stay in place longer.

At home it is important to maintain good daily hygiene; for the

ﬁrst few weeks after the dressing has been removed, wash your hair

carefully and use a strip of abutment cleaning wipe to keep the skin

around the abutment clean.

Daily cleaning

After the ﬁrst few weeks you can start cleaning the outside of the

abutment with the soft abutment cleaning brush provided. Aim the

bristles at the side of the abutment, and remove any debris that might

have built up around the base. You can do this while taking a bath or

shower, using mild soap and plenty of warm water. When you have

ﬁnished bathing, use a strip of abutment cleaning wipe to make sure

that all debris has been removed.

Weekly cleaning

Clean the inside of the abutment every week, with the abutment

cleaning brush, as debris can also build up there.

If you should experience soreness or inﬂammation, or if the abutment

feels loose, contact your clinician or hearing care centre. Otherwise,

it’s a good idea to get regular checkups every six months.

Remember:

• Always rinse the abutment

cleaning brush in mild soap

and warm water and let it

air dry. Change the brush

every three months, or if

you have had an infection.

• If you have bilateral

implants, use two separate

cleaning brushes (one for

each abutment), to avoid

cross-contamination.

• You can get new cleaning

brushes from your hearing

care centre or by contacting

your Cochlear™ofﬁce.

Attaching and removing

your sound processor

Your Baha sound processor is designed to snap onto the abutment.

Simply attach it at a slight angle and tilt or rock it into place, taking

care to keep your hair out of the way. The tilt technique reduces the

pressure on the abutment and prevents any discomfort. Make sure

you never push the sound processor straight in.

To remove the sound processor again, lift your hair, slide a ﬁngertip

under it, and gently tilt it until it snaps off. Never pull it straight out.

Protecting your abutment

Whenever you are not wearing your Baha sound processor, you can

shield the abutment using the press-on abutment cover provided with

your sound processor. Wear it when sleeping, and when having hair

treatments. During rough contact sports you can wear a sweatband

over the abutment for additional protection.

Attaching a safety line

When taking part in activities where you risk losing your sound

processor we recommend using the safety line provided. Insert the

line into the attachment point and fasten it to your clothing.

Note: The safety line should always be used when a Baha sound

processor is worn by children.

Baha and children

Children who use a Baha system need to observe the same routines

as adults. Their parents/caregivers should teach them how to keep the

abutment clean and the skin around it healthy. They should also be

taught the importance of keeping their Baha sound processor safe –

including using a safety line to avoid losing it.

Note: In the United States and Canada, the placement of a bone-

anchored implant is contraindicated in children below the age of 5.

What is a Baha Softband?

Until children are ready for an implant they can wear their Baha sound

processor on a colourful Baha Softband. This consists of an elastic

headband with a plastic snap connector that holds the sound processor

in place. To avoid any sore areas, this adjustable band can be turned,

so the sound processor is not always in the same position. The Baha

Softband enables a variety of listening opportunities. For example, in a

car seat the sound processor can be worn on the forehead to maximise

sound perception.
