Cleaning
It is very important to clean the abutment area
thoroughly. Skin debris or other dirt in the abutment
can a
ff ect the sound quality and cause damage
to your sound processor.
First weeks after surgery
Once the dressing is removed, maintain good daily
hygiene at home to avoid redness or soreness. Wash
your hair carefully and use an alcohol-free cleaning
wipe to keep the skin clean.
Daily cleaning
After a few weeks, start cleaning the outside
of the abutment daily using mild soap and plenty
of warm water. An alcohol-free cleaning wipe should
be used to remove any debris around the base of
the abutment. Once clean, the area should be gently
dried with a clean towel or tissue. Any hair wrapped
around the abutment should be removed.
Weekly cleaning
The inside of the abutment should be cleaned
on a weekly basis, using alcohol-free cleaning
wipes to avoid damage of the sound processor.
Should you experience soreness or in
fl ammation,
or if the abutment feels loose, contact your
hearing care professional.
Wearing with Baha Connect
1
Attaching your sound processor
Your Baha sound processor or actuator unit snaps
onto the abutment easily. 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 or actuator unit straight in.
2
Removing your sound processor
To remove the sound processor or actuator unit,
lift your hair, slide a
fi ngertip under it, and gently
tilt it until it snaps o ff . Never pull it straight out.
3
Protecting your abutment
Whenever you are not wearing your Baha sound
processor, you can protect the abutment using the
press-on abutment cover provided with your sound
processor. Wear it when sleeping, during rough
contact sports, or when having hair treatments.
Just like your teeth, the area around
your abutment needs
daily care
.
