Different ways of connecting to hearing

There are two connection options for the Baha System: Baha® Connect and Baha® Attract.

The Baha Connect System is an easy-to-use and effective1,2 hearing solution designed to improve hearing.

It uses a small abutment behind the ear that connects the sound processor directly to the implant to maximise the sound that gets through to the inner ear. Adults and children simply snap their sound processor onto the abutment and can get on with doing the activities they enjoy.

The Baha Attract System is a comfortable and easy-to-use3 hearing solution that uses magnets to hold the sound processor over the implant. The sound processor then sends sound through to the inner ear.

Adults and children simply place their sound processor (with sound processor magnet) over the implant and then they can get on with their day while experiencing the sound around them.

"I hope to live 20 or 30 more years, and I don't want to stay inside and read a book. I want to be active. I want to live life. I want to enjoy life."

- Dave, Cochlear™ Baha® recipient, USA

The Baha BI300 implant

The Baha BI300 implant sits in the bone behind the ear. It's the pathway to sound and it forms the foundation of the Baha System. It's designed to promote a faster and stronger integration with the bone for a strong and reliable hearing platform.4-7
