Our technology makes hearing easier - especially in noise
Hearing clear, rich and natural sound1 may help you fully experience your environment and know what’s happening around you. It may help you hear sounds you have been missing and better locate where they came from or it can help you identify specific actions such a key turning a lock.
Every day, you move through several different hearing environments—and your sound processor should adapt automatically, so you can experience the sound around you to the fullest.
The Baha® Sound Processors feature advanced smart sound processing technology to help you or your child hear in those different environments.
Better sound quality²
The Baha System lets you experience clear, rich and natural sound.1 It manages feedback to produce less distortion3 and actively works to reduce unwanted noise.
The Cochlear™ Baha 6 Max Sound Processor helps you access a broad and dynamic range of sounds which may improve your ability to understand speech in noisy situations.4
Sound processors that adapt to your world
Our innovative SmartSound® IQ technology captures sound and automatically adapts to your environment. This way, the subtle differences of sound are provided to you, so you only need to focus on the situation you’re in.
How it works:
- Dual microphones first capture and filter the sound
- SmartSound iQ technology analyzes your surroundings and identifies the listening environment as one of seven scenes
- The technology adjusts and optimises sound automatically to deliver clear sound in different environments1
- The signal processing features work to deliver clear sound by enhancing speech, reducing noise and increasing comfort
"I feel comfortable as a parent knowing that whatever environment he walks into, his sound processors adapt."
- Emily, mother of Josh, Cochlear™ Baha® System recipient
