Been wearing a baha 20yrs it's part of me & I wouldn't be without it the internal hearing aid kept giving me infections in the middle ear wax running like nothing sea oil & stinking. But the cochlear baha 6max is the best yet. Thankyou NHS I am and always will be greatful to Brian at Sunderland General Inf Tom workman

I’ve only had my BAHA 6 for a couple of weeks now and I honestly do not have any complaints about it. Compared to the BAHA 5, it is much smaller. It doesn’t easily come off which is great because it stays in place. The BAHA 6 app is truly amazing. As a Firefighter/EMT, all of these things are extremely helpful. From being able to wear my Fire helmet with my BAHA 6 without any issues to using my iPhone and Apple Watch to quickly switch channels to operate my stethoscope. I would definitely say that the BAHA 6 is a 10/10! Konstance Garner

I have had the Baha Attract system since 2014 and recently upgraded from a Baha Power 5 to my Baha 6 Max and am so happy with the change. There's so much less feed back, the unit itself is smaller and much more comfortable. I've gone from a #3 magnet to a #2 though I rarely had any issues with sensitivity from pressure. I always keep a supply of pads on hand for the magnet and can tell when it's time to change by a little discomfort. I can use my iPhone for any adjustments and my Audiologist has been great with programming to suit my particular needs. I couldn't be more happy with the change. I may someday upgrade to an Osia but for now am happy with my "little 6" and recommend it to anyone with SSD hearing loss as I have.

Fitting range for single-sided deafness (SSD), conductive and mixed hearing losses

The Baha 6 Max Sound Processor is appropriate for those with a conductive or mixed hearing loss and for those with SSD. The new Baha 6 Max Sound Processor will fit up to a 55 dB HL (Hearing Level as shown on your audiogram) sensorineural hearing loss. This value is obtained by averaging your thresholds across 500-3000 Hz of the frequency range for your bone conduction scores. Sensorineural simply means a cochlear or “nerve” hearing loss.

Keep in mind, with conductive and mixed losses, you may have additional conductive hearing loss beyond the 55 dB HL and still be a candidate for the device. This is referred to as a “mixed” loss. Also, keep in mind that Cochlear offers the Baha 5 SuperPower Sound Processor which can accommodate up to a 65 dB HL sensorineural hearing loss. Of course, this older generation device will not have the same features as the new 6 device but may be a better option for those with a more significant hearing deficit.

For those with SSD, candidacy guidelines require a profound loss in one ear and normal air conduction thresholds in the same 500-3000 Hz range. In other words, no useful hearing in one ear and normal or near-normal hearing in the better ear.

It’s also notable that although the new Baha 6 Max Sound Processor has the same fitting range as the Baha 5 Power, it is lighter and smaller. In fact, it’s the same size as the older Baha 5, though slightly heavier. The smaller size, improved power, and new connection system likely will be appreciated by wearers.

The Baha 5 Power and Baha 5 sound processors are being discontinued by Cochlear as of September 30th, 2022, with the Baha 6 Max sound processor replacing the older devices. The new Baha 6 Max Sound Processor boasts 7 dB more maximum power output than the Baha 5 Sound Processor, is within 1 dB of the Baha 5 Power Sound Processor, and has improved technology making these 2 older devices obsolete.

The Baha 5 SuperPower is still available at the time of this writing. Please contact Cochlear for additional information regarding repair and support of the discontinued products. As always, you should consult with your HCP and physician regarding your candidacy and options for better hearing.

Updated scene classifier, extended frequency range, and noise reduction features

Baha 6 Max Sound Processor incorporates and updated SmartSound^® iQ scene classifier as well as updated noise reduction features and directional microphones. The scene classifier is designed to sample your listening environment up to 300 times per second and align the processor’s technology, such as noise reduction and directional microphones, and provide the best possible listening for your environment. This is all done automatically and is consistent with how today’s digital hearing aids are designed.

The new processor also has an extended frequency range compared to its predecessor. That is, the Baha 6 Max Sound Processor amplifies within a possible bandwidth of 200-9850 Hz compared to Baha 5 which is tested at 250-7000 Hz. This extended bandwidth may be perceived by the wearer as improved depth of sound and improved clarity. For some, the extended bandwidth and higher available output may also translate into improved speech understanding, even in noisy situations.

You’ll note that we say “possible” bandwidth as your device may not be programmed to amplify across the full bandwidth for various reasons. For example, you may experience feedback—that annoying squealing we sometimes hear from amplified devices—and the high pitch volume (also called “high-frequency gain”) may need to be reduced to keep this from happening. However, Cochlear reports an improved feedback reduction system compared to the older device, so the need to reduce the high frequencies due to feedback may be less than with Baha 5.

Baha 6 Max Sound Processor also now incorporates an impulse sound noise reduction system. Although not new to hearing aids, the impulse noise reduction is new to Cochlear’s Baha devices. Impulse noise reduction systems are intended to minimize the annoyance of sharp sounds. This means sudden and brief amplified noises like silverware on a plate or clanking glasses should be perceived as less bothersome, though they will still be heard. The intent, of course, is to improve overall hearing comfort.

Your HCP can also program up to 4 listening programs into the device, depending on your preferences and listening needs. For example, you may prefer to have a separate music program or noise program.

You can change the program by the onboard program button at the top of the processor or via your smartphone app or other accessory such as the Baha Remote Control. Volume cannot be changed directly on the device; instead, your smart app or other accessory can be used. Alternatively, the program slots can be used as volume adjustments if the use of an accessory isn’t practical or wanted.
