Important notice for prospective users of
a Baha sound processor
• A prospective Baha user must always
have a thorough medical evaluation
by a licensed physician (preferably a
physician who specialises in diseases
of the ear, otolaryngologist, otologist,
or otorhinolaryngologist) before a
Baha sound processor is purchased.
• The purpose of the medical evaluation
is to ensure that all medically treatable
conditions that may affect hearing are
identified and treated before the sound
processor is purchased. Following
the medical evaluation, the physician
will give you a written statement that
states that your hearing loss has been
medically evaluated and that you
may be considered a Baha candidate.
The physician will refer you to an
audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser,
as appropriate, for an audiological
evaluation.
• Federal law restricts the sale of
Baha sound processors to those
individuals who have obtained a medical
evaluation from a licensed physician.
Federal law permits a fully informed
adult to sign a waiver statement
declining the medical evaluation for
religious or personal beliefs that
preclude consultation with a physician.
The exercise of such a waiver is not in
your best health interest and its use is
strongly discouraged.

A word of caution about batteries
Batteries can be harmful if swallowed. Be

diminished capacity. In the event a battery
is accidentally swallowed, seek prompt
medical attention at the nearest emergency
center.

The UKCA mark is only applicable to
