Optimize your hearing experience with Baha 7
The Baha 7 Sound Processor features dual microphones that may make it easier to localize sound so you can focus in noisy situations. Using SmartSound® iQ technology, the Baha 7 Sound Processor will automatically make adjustments to optimize your hearing experience. The sound processor actively works to reduce unwanted noise around you — from busy restaurants and hectic spaces to crowded venues — so you can focus on the conversations that matter.
You know the smallest connections can make a big difference. Whether streaming music, video chatting with friends and family or interacting with coworkers in-person or remotely, the Baha 7 Sound Processor can help you connect and interact with the world in new ways. With an all new connectivity platform, you’ll be able to stream sound directly to your sound processor from a compatible Apple® or Android™ device***, so you’ll never miss a beat.
Plus, the Baha 7 Sound Processor offers a premium experience as the first bone conduction device compatible with Bluetooth® LE Audio Accessories, like the Multi-Mic+ or TV-Streamer+, and BLE Audio with Auracast™. It also features auto streaming capability, ensuring seamless connectivity and effortless audio streaming.
The all new Baha Smart App gives you more options to personalize your hearing experience. The app is available for compatible Android or Apple devices†† – it’s even available for Apple Watch®. With more control, you can change programs, adjust volume, locate a missing sound processor and activate Live Listen™. The Live Listen feature allows the microphone of your Apple device to detect sound and stream it directly to the sound processor, functioning as a remote microphone.
Baha 7 users also have access to Remote Assist^^, allowing users to receive remote support from their hearing care professional without needing an in-person visit.
You can have peace of mind knowing that you will be covered for the repair or replacement of your new device should something go wrong.
Designed to fit within your lifestyle, the Baha 7 Sound Processor features a durable design with the highest water and dust resistance rating† of any of our suite of Baha devices, so you don’t need to worry about getting caught in the rain.
The new Baha 7 Sound Processor is designed with new kid-friendly features including the ability to confirm your child’s sound processor is connected to sound using the Smart App.†† You can also adjust, monitor and track their hearing. An LED light will give you or your child’s teacher a quick confirmation that the sound processor is on and how it is connected so you can ensure your child is on-air.
