Your child’s first steps to better hearing

Learning to communicate begins early—well before your child says their
first word— which is why it’s so important for children with hearing loss to be given access to sound as soon as possible. It can help lay the foundation for fundamental language development and social skills to help them be successful in school and society later in life.

Baha Start is an ideal hearing solution for children who are too young or not yet ready for a bone conduction implantable solution.
Baha Start by Cochlear™ features the Baha Softband or SoundArc™ and one or two of the Baha® 6 Max Sound Processors which can help address your child’s hearing loss of up to 55 dB SNHL. *

*SNHL means sensorineural hearing level.

Dr. Cliff Olson, Audiologist and Founder of Applied Hearing Solutions in Anthem Arizona, discusses how Bone Conduction Hearing Aids work.

Over 90% of hearing losses require the use of traditional hearing aids. For the other 10%, a different treatment method is needed. If you have Single Sided Deafness (SSD), a Conductive Hearing Loss, or Mixed hearing loss, you may have the option of a Bone Conduction Hearing Aid. Video: 3 types of Hearing Loss: https://youtu.be/D6hxNW7fHj0

A Bone Conduction Hearing Aid works by stimulating the Cochlea directly with vibration through the skull. This direct vibration bypasses the outer ear and middle ear. In the case of Single Sided Deafness, this signal passes around the skull to the opposite side ear that works properly. Video: Single Sided Hearing Loss Options: https://youtu.be/16LC2FYu1-U

For a Conductive hearing loss, the Bone Conduction Hearing Aid will transmit sound to the cochlea through the skull which bypasses the conductive hearing loss.

For a Mixed hearing loss, the Bone Conduction Hearing Aid will bypass the Conductive Hearing Loss and increase the stimulation to the Cochlea to overcome the Sensorineural portion of the Mixed hearing loss.

There are 4 different methods for using bone conduction devices.

1. Abutment - When a titanium post is surgically implanted into your skull. You then attach the Bone Conduction Hearing Aid or Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA)

2. Magnet - When a magnet is surgically implanted into your skull. You then attach the Bone Conduction Aid on a magnet that attaches through the skull.

3. Headband - Generally reserved for children, but the band will keep the Bone Conduction device firmly in place. This can also be relatively uncomfortable.

4. Adhesive Pad - This pad attaches via behind your ear on your mastoid bone. You then attach a Bone Conduction Device to the sticky pad. Not available in the USA at the time of this recording.

Here are some tips for cleaning and maintaining your Cochlear™ Baha® 6 Max Sound Processor. Every day your Baha 6 Max Sound Processor can be exposed to the elements – hot and cold weather, humidity, dust and wind. Taking proper care of your sound processor helps to keep it working properly, so you can get the most out of your hearing.

For more Baha 6 Max support, see the Baha 6 Max Sound Processor user manual.

Cochlear Baha hearing solutions use the body’s natural ability to deliver sound through bone conduction. If you have conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss or single-sided deafness (SSD), a Baha System or Baha Start may be the right hearing solution for you.

Most of our children are seen by appointment at our Audiology Departments within the Forth Valley Sensory Centre, or at Stirling Community Hospital. Our regular clinics at the Forth Valley Sensory Centre mean that some children can be seen without the pressures of a typical hospital waiting room environment.

The children can be having so much fun, they have no idea that they are also having their hearing tested. We pride ourselves when the children have enjoyed themselves so much that they don’t want to go home.

Your child has a hearing assessment booked because of a "refer" result from the hearing screening. When a baby is under the age of 6 months of age, the ABR test is the best test for identifying how loud sounds have to be for that baby to hear them. And guess what....it works best while your baby is asleep. Learn with this short video how to prepare for this important assessment.
