Getting started

Download, install and open the Baha Smart App. Scroll and read through the content on the Welcome screen to learn about the different features and important information.

Tap ‘Get started’ to proceed with connecting the app to your sound processor. The app will go through a series of steps to ensure a secure connection to the sound processor can be completed. If there are any issues, instructions will be presented to you on the screen.

Note: When you pair your sound processor to your compatible smartphone, you could also start to receive audio streaming including phone calls, music and notifications. To adjust your audio streaming settings, please refer to your smartphone’s instructions.

• Allow the app to access your location in order to help you locate a lost sound processor and advise you when entering a linked location.
• Allow the app to send you notifications in order to receive battery and connection warnings or tips on how to achieve the best hearing experience.
• Read the privacy statement and choose whether to approve or decline the option to send deidentified diagnostic and usage information to help Cochlear further improve our products. The choice does not impact your ability to use the app. You can find out more at www.cochlear.com/privacy.

Once you have completed connection, you can log in with your Cochlear Account, or create one for free. Some features of the app require logging in to unlock. If you choose not to log in, you will still be able to adjust volume and change programs on your sound processors.

Note: If you’ve previously used a Cochlear online service, such as a different Cochlear app or our online store, you may already have a Cochlear Account and can use the same email address and password to log in to the Baha Smart App. To check whether you have a Cochlear Account or which email address is associated with it, contact your local Cochlear customer service team for assistance. Visit www.cochlear.com/customer-service.

Sound processor registration

Once you have logged in, the app will check if your sound processor has been registered for Warranty purposes and for access to Cochlear online and Remote Care purposes, where available.

If it hasn’t, the app will prompt you to register and guide you with on-screen instructions.

To register, confirm the recipient’s name and the date the sound processor was first fit, then select the clinic that fitted the sound processor.

Note: Ensure you select the correct clinic, as the recipient’s details will be associated to this clinic and the clinic may access this information.
