To make the most of your hearing technology, it helps to learn tips and tricks for looking after your sound processor and know how to take the best care of it.
Here are some of the most common questions or issues and how to use and look after your Cochlear™ Baha® 6 Max Sound Processor.
1. My sound processor won’t turn on
Double check your sound processor is turned on by using the battery door to power your sound processor off and on again. To turn it off, gently open the battery door until you feel the first ‘click.’ Simply turn it on again by closing the battery door completely.
Note that turning your device off and on again will return it to Program 1 and your default volume level. If enabled, audio and/or visual signals will let you know that the device is starting up.
If this doesn’t solve your problem, try replacing your battery. Hold the sound processor with the back facing upwards. Open the battery compartment all the way and remove the old battery. Remove the sticker on the + side of the new battery. Put the battery facing upwards into its compartment. Close the compartment door.
2. The sound is too quiet or muffled
Try turning up the volume by using a compatible smartphone* or wireless device. Also, double check that your sound processor is dry. If it gets wet or is exposed to humidity, dry it with a soft cloth, remove the battery and let your sound processor dry out in its storage kit or dry-aid kit before inserting a new battery.
3. The sound it too loud or uncomfortable
Your volume level was set by your hearing health professional, so check with them if you feel it’s set too loud. You can adjust the volume using the optional Cochlear Baha Remote Control 2, Cochlear Wireless Phone Clip, Baha Smart App or from your compatible smartphone or wireless device.
4. I hear feedback or whistling
If you wear spectacles, a bike helmet or similar, make sure they don’t touch your sound processor as this can cause feedback.
You can also try turning down the volume to reduce feedback. If this doesn’t work, make sure your sound processor is clean, with no dirt between the abutment and your sound processor. Also, double check there are no cracks in the outer casing and that your device isn’t damaged.
5. I can’t hear any sound from my sound processor
The most common method for solving this issue is to try turning your sound processor off, then on again. Simply open battery door and close it completely to turn it off and on. Turning your device off and on again will also revert it back to Program 1 and your default volume level.
If this doesn’t solve your problem, try replacing your battery.
