Hear more easily, even when it's noisy1

data logging.
Better sound quality¹
The Baha system lets you experience clearer sound with less risk of annoying squeaks and squeals. It does this by combining feedback management with a transducer that produces less distortion than other bone conduction systems.2
Sound processors that adapt to your world – automatically
Our Smart Sound® IQ technology captures sound and automatically adapts to your listening environment without the need to make manual adjustments.
How it works:
- Analyses your surroundings and identifies the listening environment as one of seven scenes, such as quiet, noisy or windy.
-
Sound is adjusted automatically for your environment with SmartSound iQ technology.
-
Enhances speech to help you hear what’s being said and reduces background noise to help you join the conversation.1
"I feel comfortable as a parent knowing that whatever environment he walks into, his sound processors adapt."*¹

Data logging provides information that may be helpful for your hearing health professional
Life is busy. Some days it's tough to remember the details of how you're using your sound processor.
That's why Baha 5 sound processors feature data logging technology that records information about how you use them.
Data logging gives your hearing care professional evidence to show how the system is working for you. They may use this information to make decisions about how to adjust your device to improve your hearing experience.
Peace of mind for parents
The data logging function helps to capture your child's sound processor usage, environment and settings.
This information allows your hearing care professional to understand how the processor is being used and whether any further adjustments may be beneficial.
This includes the number of hours per day the sound processor is on, the different sound environments your child experiences throughout the day and the volume levels that were in use.
