We were the first bone conduction sound processors
Made for iPhone1
Enjoy your favourite movies, TV shows, apps, music, GPS directions — even a FaceTime call — with audio streamed to your sound processor.
The Baha 5 sound processors were the industry's first bone conduction implant sound processors to stream sound directly from your Apple devices.1
With sound streamed directly to your Baha 5 Sound Processor, it can be easier to hear without background noise getting in the way.
You can start streaming simply by using the accessibility menu on your iPhone.
"The Made for iPhone technology makes life so much easier. I don't have to hold the phone up to my ear — it streams sound directly into my processor so I hear it loud and clear, right into my ear."
Debra B, Cochlear™ Baha® System recipient, USA
