Sound processors

The Cochlear™ Baha® 3 System offers a complete sound processor portfolio for people with varying levels of hearing loss. Utilising advanced signal processing and powerful new transducer technologies, Baha 3 Sound Processors deliver premium hearing performance for improved speech understanding in noise. Including the industry’s first moisture resistant and fully programmable multi-channel sound processor, the Baha 3 System offers solutions built for the rigours of life.

The Cochlear Baha BP100 Sound Processor delivers
25% improved speech understanding in noise1-6 and is the first direct bone conduction sound processor to include an advanced automatic signal processing system and dedicated amplification strategies. It uses multiple adjustable channels to support more precise fitting and to shape the signal to match your individual hearing loss.

The Cochlear Baha BP110 Power Sound Processor is the first high power sound processor with advanced automatic signal processing. It is designed to provide extra power in the high frequencies for people with greater hearing loss. Results indicate a significant improvement over previous generations corresponding to more than 50% improved speech understanding in noise.7-9

 

* In the United States and Canada, the placement of a bone-anchored implant is contraindicated in children below the age of 5.

Simplicity in use

No matter where you are, the Cochlear Baha 3 sound processors automatically select the best combination of sound processing settings. You can enjoy clear, comfortable sound without lifting a finger.

  • Automatically adjusts to adapt to the sound environment
  • Tactile buttons for easy and precise handling
  • Dedicated listening programs for music and noisy environments
  • Allows for superior amplification all day long – even in challenging environments

Seamless adaption

The Baha 3 sound processors work for you around the clock. In busy urban environments, the system automatically reduces distortion, without masking important speech sounds. In challenging situations, such as crowded restaurants, it automatically detects speech and switches from 360 degree listening mode to directional mode. This shift focuses on the speech sounds, so that you can follow the conversations more easily during meetings or dinner conversations.
