and any adhesive residue left behind.

the adhesive surface.

it is centered and covers the entire surface.

Cleaning
Remove the sound processor and Cochlear

SoftWear
™
Pad before washing or cleaning. Keep
your magnet clean by using a soft wipe. Do not use
running water. Clean the snap coupling with a small,
soft brush. Never use any strong chemical solutions.
Easing into wear time
When you fi rst start wearing your sound
processor with Baha Attract, gradually
increase the length of wear time to allow your skin
to adapt to the pressure. If any irritation is noted,
remove the magnet to let the skin rest for a while.
If discomfort or skin irritation persist, contact
your hearing care professional.
It may be easier
to turn the processor
on before placing
it behind your ear.
