Your quick guide to Baha

Softband
The Baha Softband is intended for test situations, for young children
and for long-term use for people who cannot have an implant
but can still bene fi t from bone-conduction hearing ampli fi cation.
Wearing your Softband
The Softband is fi tted with one or two connector discs (C) with a built-in
safety release (B), designed to open if the Softband should catch on an
object. For the
fi rst few weeks the Softband can be worn for shorter periods
of time until the wearer has become accustomed to it. To help avoid any
tenderness use the Baha SoftWear
™
Pad and vary the position of the disc
on the wearer’s head each day.
Step-by-step
1 Adjust the length of the Softband (A).
2 Attach the sound processor to the connector disc (C).
3 Place the Softband on the head and adjust it to fi t comfortably.
For best performance the disc should be placed fl at behind the ear
or a bony part of the skull (i.e. forehead).
4 Turn the volume on the sound processor up slowly.
Replacing the Baha SoftWear™ Pad
Replace the pad when worn, damaged,
or dirt or moisture cannot be wiped o
ff .
Step-by-step
1 Remove the old pad from the connector disc,
and any adhesive residue left behind.
2 Remove the cover sheet to expose
the adhesive surface.
3 Attach the pad to the connector disc. Make sure
it is centered and covers the entire surface.
4 Remove the remaining cover sheet from the pad.
Cleaning your Softband
Remove the sound processor and Baha SoftWear
Pad before washing or cleaning. Clean the Softband
by handwashing at 40°C (104°F) or cooler. Use a mild

The Baha SoftWear Pad gently adapts to the contours of the skin,
increasing the contact area even more to provide better sound
transmission and further reduce pressure and peak pressure.
