CENTENNIAL -- Cochlear Limited (ASX: COH), a global leader in implantable hearing solutions, announced the commercial availability of the Cochlear Baha 5 Sound Processor.
For people who are deaf in one ear or who have conductive or mixed-hearing loss, the Baha 5 is not only the smallest bone conduction sound processor in the industry but also contains advanced hearing technologies, the company said.
“We are always looking for new ways to improve the quality of life of those who use our technology to her every day,” said Chris Smith, Cochlear Americas president.
“When developing the Baha 5 Sound Processor, we conducted extensive research to determine what was most important to our customers and two words consistently rose to the top of that list – size and simplicity.
“We created the world’s smallest and smartest bone conduction sound processor with the goal of providing an improved and simplified listening experience through direct-to-device streaming from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and automatic signal processing with our proprietary SmartSound IQ technology.”
Cochlear said it also released a new Baha 5 Smart App compatible with the Baha 5 Sound Processor for extra simplicity, with users able to personalize their listening experience by adjusting and customizing the sound processor directly from their iPhone.
