Introduction

This guide includes instructions on:

• Placing the SP magnet and sound processor

• Care, cleaning and maintenance

• Using accessories

• Troubleshooting

Note on ﬁgures: The ﬁgures included on the

front and back covers correspond to sections of

information in this manual which are common

to all Baha sound processors. Please reference

the appropriate ﬁgure when reading. The sound

processor images shown are representative only

and not to scale. The appearance of the sound

processor included in your kit may vary.

Welcome

This guide includes tips and advice on how to best use and care for your Cochlear™

Baha®sound processor when using a magnet to connect it to your implant. By reading

this manual and keeping it handy for future reference, you’ll ensure that you get the

most beneﬁt out of your Baha sound processor.

NOTE: This manual is to be seen as a complement to the sound processor manual part

A and does not replace it.

Your kit includes

the following items:

• Cochlear Baha sound processor

• Pack of batteries

• Safety line

• Share the Experience test rod

• Document pack (user manual, warranty card,

registration card, MRI card)

• Abutment cleaning brush

(not to be used with magnetic retention system)

• Abutment cover

(not to be used with magnetic retention system)

The exact items depend on your speciﬁc type of

processor.

613815-00 Cochlear Baha Attract User Manual_BOOK_Zone 8.indb 3 3/1/13 3:48 PM

Placing the SP magnet and

the sound processor

See figure 1

The SP magnet is a round disk that is attached to

the sound processor to keep it in place over the

implant under your skin and to transfer sound

from the sound processor to the implant.

Use the tilt technique to safely and comfortably

connect and disconnect your sound processor to

the SP magnet, thereby reducing pressure on the

snap connector and SP magnet.

To connect your sound processor:

1Hold the SP magnet with one hand, or put it

on a ﬂat surface.

2Hold the sound processor with the buttons

positioned upwards, tilt it and gently snap it

into place on the SP magnet.

3Make sure that the marking on the SP magnet

is facing upwards and place the SP magnet

and sound processor over the implant behind

your ear.

It may be easier to turn the processor on before

placing it behind your ear.

To remove it from your head, grasp the SP magnet

with the sound processor still attached.

4To remove the sound processor from the SP

magnet, place one ﬁnger under the sound

processor and gently tilt until it releases.

Note:

• During the initial period of use it is

recommended to gradually increase the time

of use of the SP magnet to allow the skin to

adapt to the pressure from the SP magnet.

If any irritation is noted the SP magnet

should be removed in order to let the skin

rest for a while. If discomfort and/or skin

irritation persist, contact your hearing care

professional.

• Make sure that the marking on the SP magnet

is always facing upwards to ensure good

retention.

See figure 1image 3.

• To avoid feedback (whistling), ensure that the

sound processor is not touching any other

items, such as glasses or a hat.

• It is recommended to wear a safety line

attached to the sound processor to reduce the

risk of loss or damage.

• For optimal retention, make sure that there is

not too much hair underneath the SP magnet

when placed over the implant.

SP magnet care

It is recommended to wear the SP magnet with

the soft pad attached for maximum wearing

comfort.

Keep your SP magnet clean by wiping it with an

alcohol-free wipe. Do not use running water to

clean your SP magnet.

Brush the snap coupling part clean using a soft

brush.

613815-00 Cochlear Baha Attract User Manual_BOOK_Zone 8.indb 4 3/1/13 3:48 PM

English

Changing soft pads

You should change the SP Magnet soft pad

regularly. You should replace the soft pad if you

observe the following:

• An accumulation of dirt or moisture on the soft

pad that cannot be wiped off

• The soft pad appears worn-out or damaged

• You experience a gradual deterioration in

wearing comfort (if changing the soft pad

does not help please contact your hearing care

professional)

Contact your hearing care professional to obtain

new soft pads.

See figure 2

1Remove the soft pad from the SP magnet, by

lifting and gripping the unglued portion of the

soft material, and then slowly release the soft

pad from the SP magnet.

• Make sure that the adhesive remains are

completely removed from the SP magnet.

2Select a new soft pad and remove the cover

sheet to expose the adhesive.

3Attach the soft pad to the SP magnet. Make

sure that the soft pad is centralised and covers

the entire SP magnet surface.

4Remove the remaining cover sheet from the

soft pad before you start wearing the SP

magnet.

Note:

• A small section on the edge of the soft pad

is not covered by adhesive for easier grip and

removal.

Supporting the processor

See figure 3

Once you are familiar with your processor, you can

change the program and the volume level while

the sound processor is attached to the SP magnet

placed on your head. Make sure you support the

processor from the bottom with your thumb as

you press the buttons with your index ﬁnger.

Sound processor care

Daily and weekly care is required to keep your

sound processor functioning properly.

Long-term care

You will have regular check-ups as determined by

your hearing care professional. These check-ups

help ensure that the processor works and that

your SP magnet ﬁts properly.

Storing your processor

Store your sound processor in your storage box

when it is not in use. The sound processor can be

attached to the SP magnet and the safety line can

be attached to the sound processor.

Cleaning the sound processor

See figure 4

1Clean the sound processor’s housing with an

alcohol-free wipe. Do not use water to clean

your sound processor.

2Brush the snap coupling clean using the soft

brush. Avoid using excessive cleaning force on

the snap coupling as this could damage the

processor. Your hearing care professional can

provide you with a special aftercare kit to keep

your sound processor in good condition.

613815-00 Cochlear Baha Attract User Manual_BOOK_Zone 8.indb 5 3/1/13 3:48 PM

Connecting accessories via

the Direct Audio Input (DAI)

See figure 5

Match the accessory connector with the sound

processor’s DAI connector. While holding the

sound processor gently at the corners, carefully

push the accessory connector into the DAI port.

Dedicated DAI program and

microphone mixing

An optional DAI program that is set by your

hearing care professional allows you to listen

exclusively to sounds through the DAI.

In all other programs, input from the DAI is

combined with input from the microphone.

Using the telecoil

The telecoil unit improves sound when using

some landline (ﬁxed) and mobile telephones. It

also gives you access to loop facilities in homes

and public buildings. Attach the telecoil to the

DAI port.

Using the Audio adapter

The Audio adapter allows direct input from

computers, personal stereos, TVs, MP3 players

and other external audio equipment. One end

of the Audio adapter is connected to the sound

processor at the DAI. The other end is connected

to the audio device.

Caution: Connecting electrical

equipment directly to the sound

processor is extremely dangerous. Always use

the Audio adapter when connecting an external

audio source to your sound processor.

Cochlear is not liable for any damage arising as

a result of connecting unsuitable equipment or

incorrect use.

Using an FM receiver

An FM receiver enables the use of FM systems that

are commonly used in school classrooms.

Your hearing care professional can provide you

with a list of available FM receivers. Attach your

FM receiver to the DAI port. Keep extra batteries

available if using an FM receiver as they have high

energy consumption rates.

Warnings and precautions

Caution: If you are to undergo an MRI

(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) procedure,

refer to the MRI Reference Card included in the

document pack.

• If the SP magnet is too weak the sound processor

may fall off. If it is too strong you may feel

discomfort or experience soreness and irritation

of the skin. If you are unsure about the strength

of your SP magnet, contact your hearing care

professional.

• If you experience persistent irritation or soreness

of the skin, or if the SP magnet gives you any

discomfort, remove it and contact your hearing

care professional.

• If you wear hats, etc. be sure to avoid pressure

on your SP magnet as this may cause irritation to

the tissue under this magnet.

• Do not wear your sound processor and SP

magnet while sleeping as this may cause

irritation to the skin under the SP magnet.

• Keep the SP magnet in a safe place and keep it

away from magnetic cards (e.g. credit cards, bus

cards, etc.) as these may be damaged by the

magnet.

613815-00 Cochlear Baha Attract User Manual_BOOK_Zone 8.indb 6 3/1/13 3:48 PM

English

• Remember that your implant contains a magnet,

so be aware that it may attract other metallic

objects that are held in close proximity (e.g.

hairdresser’s scissors, etc.).

• Do not wear any other magnets (e.g. fridge

magnets) over your implant than SP magnets

from Cochlear supplied to you by your hearing

care professional.

• Do not expose the SP magnet to

extreme temperatures. The

SP magnet is designed to

operate within the temperature

ranges +5°C (+41°F) to +40°C

(+104°F). The SP magnet

should not be subject, at any

time, to temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or

above +50°C (+122°F).

• This product is not suitable for use in ﬂammable

and/or explosive environments.

• If the SP magnet and soft material becomes

soaked with water: Put it in a container with

drying capsules such as a Dri-aid kit or similar.

Leave it to dry out overnight. Drying kits are

available from most hearing care professionals.

• For parents or caregivers: regularly check to

see if the user experiences persistent irritation or

soreness of the skin, or if the SP magnet causes

any discomfort. If so remove it and contact the

hearing care professional.

Caution: Batteries can be harmful if

swallowed. Be sure to keep your batteries

out of reach of small children, those with

mental challenges, and household pets. In the

event a battery is accidentally swallowed, seek

immediate medical attention at the nearest

emergency centre.

613815-00 Cochlear Baha Attract User Manual_BOOK_Zone 8.indb 9 3/1/13 3:48 PM

Mise en place de l’aimant

pour processeur et du

processeur

Voir figure 1

L’aimant pour processeur est un disque qui est

ﬁxé au processeur pour le maintenir en place sur

l’implant situé sous la peau et transmettre le son

du processeur à l’implant.

Utilisez la technique préconisée pour mettre

en place votre processeur sur l’aimant pour

processeur et le retirer confortablement et en

toute sécurité, aﬁn de réduire la pression sur le

système de ﬁxation type bouton-pression et sur

l’aimant pour processeur.

Pour adapter votre processeur :

1Tenez l’aimant pour processeur dans une main,

ou posez-le sur une surface plane.

2Tenez le processeur externe pour rendre la

ﬁxation type bouton-pression accessible.

Mettez le système de ﬁxation au contact

de l’aimant pour processeur en prenant un

angle puis remettez-le dans l’axe en poussant

doucement. Le processeur se ﬁxera sur

l’aimant.

3Positionnez le repère de l’aimant pour

processeur vers le haut et placez l’aimant et le

processeur sur l’implant derrière votre oreille.

Il peut être plus facile d’allumer le processeur

avant de le placer derrière l’oreille.

Pour le retirer, saisissez l’ensemble aimant pour

processeur et processeur.

4Pour détacher le processeur de l’aimant pour

processeur, glissez un doigt sous le processeur

et faites-le pivoter délicatement jusqu’à ce qu’il

se détache.

Remarque :

• pendant la période initiale d’utilisation, il est

recommandé d’augmenter progressivement la

durée d’utilisation de l’aimant pour processeur

aﬁn de permettre à la peau de s’adapter à

la pression exercée par l’aimant. Au premier

signe d’irritation, l’aimant sera enlevé pour

laisser la peau se reposer. Si la gêne et/ou

l’irritation cutanée persistent, adressez-vous à

votre centre d’implantation.

• Veillez à ce que le repère de l’aimant pour

processeur soit toujours orienté vers le haut

pour assurer une bonne ﬁxation.

Voir figure 1image 3.

• Pour éviter tout larsen (sifﬂement), veillez à

ce que le processeur n’entre en contact avec

aucun autre objet tel que des lunettes ou un

chapeau.

• Il est recommandé de porter un cordon de

sécurité ﬁxé au processeur pour réduire le

risque de perte ou d’endommagement.

• Pour une ﬁxation optimale, veillez à ce qu’il

n’y ait pas trop de cheveux sous l’aimant pour

processeur lors de la pose sur l’implant.

Entretien de l’aimant pour

processeur

Il est recommandé de porter l’aimant pour

processeur avec son coussinet, pour un confort

maximum.

Nettoyez votre aimant pour processeur à l’aide

d’une lingette sans alcool. N’utilisez pas d’eau

courante pour nettoyer l’aimant pour processeur.

Nettoyez le système de ﬁxation type bouton-

pression à l’aide d’une brosse douce.
