Cochlear Baha 6 Max Review & First Impressions [CC]
i am baha 6 and resolving all from austria help free neccesar hospital owner get free sound baha 6
I NEED ONE right away! I am a hearing director working with a cast of DHH actors. I know how important it is for Deaf and Hard of Hearing folks to see not only the mouth, but the entire face! The link you shared is not valid. Do you have any updates about where I can get one as soon as possible? Or maybe you know of other masks I could order that are all clear like this, not just with a window for the mouth. I have been searching the internet for weeks and finding nothing. Because I am immunocompromised, I must still mask in public, so I have a huge dilemma. I need to provide accessible communication for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Thank you for this review!
Great, thorough review. Thank you for the information. Your deafness is far more advanced than mine. I am unilaterally deaf in my right ear. I am sure the quality of sound is much more noticeable to you. I do have some complaints on my BAHA 5. Mostly in that it sounds tinny or like someone is talking through a can. I appreciate it though, as I can hear much better wearing it and it keeps my own volume in check. I am not yelling at people anymore. I have been wanting to check into getting a BAHA 6 for the better sound quality and I was under the impression that it would be able to connect directly to an android just like Apple does on the 5. It sounds like you still have to use the mini mic. though. Can you clarify if I will be able to stream direct?
Thanks for subscribing and watching my videos! I've been impressed by the streaming quality of the BAHA 6. I can wirelessly connect to my android phone and stream music/podcasts on the fly without using an extra accessory like a phone clip or a mini mic. I can easily toggle on the BAHA smart app the volume in and around me. I can even mute my surroundings so music is all I hear.
As a user of baha 6 device, thank you for your tips and informations
You're welcome!
My son has bilateral microtia atresia… and we are advised to have him undergo chromosomal analysis. Do you think is worthy??
Hi! Thanks for subscribing. You may certainly take this route but I believe there's more to uncover if you do. There will be tests for parents and also grandparents to get a clear understanding of possible genetic tests. Testing like this is not for everyone as it could uncover unexpected things. Good luck!
PORQUÉ NO SE FILMA USÁNDOLO, PARA VER CÓMO QUEDA????
Me podría explicar si ése audífono se pone atrás de la oreja, y va pegado con un apósito?, o hay que hacer una incisión en el hueso?, Lo podrían mostrar?, gracias!.
Thank you for this video, I've just received a demo of the baha 6 this week. I am single-sided deaf in my right ear (10% hearing).. I find that the sound isn't very good compared to my shokz headphones. Eventually I'm thinking of fitting an abutment, even though in 20% of cases there are problems and I suffer from a lot of allergies.
Hey i just wanna give everyone a tip try turning the baha 6 at a 90 degree angle, it stops the feedback for mine. hope it helps
Hi my 🦻👍
I had my bilateral prostheses done by Dr. Baron from Virginia. For a long time, I was disappointed with them because they were adhesively attached & caused me more anxiety than they're worth worrying that they'd fall off anytime. Where'd you get the magnetic attachments, my friend?
I got them through a plastic surgeon though a referral from an anaplastologist in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada! He doesn't work here anymore but the surgery is called Vista fix
I'm a microtian violinist. Still trying to get out there. 🦻 🥜
👍
Love your channel….. in Scotland….I have been using test Baha on loop and will be considered for an abutment…. Why did you go for post instead of magnet? Thanks
Thanks for subscribing! It was the only choice at the time. It's been over 20+ years with the post and still going.
Would you go for a magnet now ? I am on brink of abutment or magnet, We have the NHS in Scotland so all is free.
i have the squelaing during singing lessons when i sing with a microphone. Since the first squeal it's more regular. It's repeating. Do you know what to do about it? I have got my Baha in March this year an everything is new to me.
I'm sorry to hear that! It's the worst feeling because the squealing just goes into an endless loop. I tend to tilt my head to the side or make some different sounds to break up the cycle
I am currently wearing BAHA 5 Power, however, due to the feedbacks and the sounds, I don't wear it frequently.
I'm sorry to hear that
Kha se mileage
I just upgraded yesterday to the 6Max from the 5 and ironically I find the complete opposite: I always had terrible feedback with the 5 but a lot less (so far) with the 6. The issue I believe was because I had the 5 set to the maximum volume by my audiologist (prior to this I wasn’t getting as much feedback but I just couldn’t hear much sound with it). I did use the BAHA5 Power for a while and that was brilliant but I just didn’t like the weight and size of it on my head. I use the magnetic attract rather than the abutment connect so I’m not sure if this has any implications with feedback issues etc My audiologist yesterday said she did lower some of the higher frequencies to try and lessen risk of feedback - I will have to see if this has an impact on understanding speech. It’s still early days but first impressions are better than expected. I’m yet to use it in social situations or at work.
Excited that you're having an upgraded experience with the 6! The 5 worked perfectly for me with the odd feedback here and there but very manageable. The 6 has been unpredictable which is bothersome for me
Me lowkey freaking out. Goes on CZcams seeking to see people’s testimony about different hearing devices. Growing up with microtia and basically not doing anything for it. Now as an adult that wants to hear. Looking at my options. This video truly helped me calm down 😂 thank you
Love it! That's why these videos are there is to show folks with similiar disabilities that we're not defined by it!
My son does this with his CI and aid, works awesome for him! Thanks for sharing. :)
That's terrific. Congrats!
My first device is the BAHA 6. Mine squeels when anything, hats, collars, etc.., gets near it. Nothing has to touch it. I shave my head because of permenant cancer treatment hair loss. So hair is not an issue. Because my abutment is back further than most peoples, I can't put my head against a head rest or pillow while wearing it. It squeels or pops off. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for subscribing!
I tried getting mine to pair onto the switch. (I have phillips brand) also i was wondering, is the clip that you usdd the ones that help with direct feed? ( like you give it to a teacher so you can hear what they are saying. Like a FM system) I don't have a mini mic for my hearing aids, but i can see if mine will work with them. (Thank you for the video
I hope you've been able to find a fix but if not I used the mini mic :)
Just wondering if you've ever thought about switching to an oticon ponto? I trialled and researched both companies and figured the oticon would have less issues over cochlear.
It's been on my mind to be honest. My concern is my abutment is very sensitive and the way the ponto clips on over the abutment can be painful
I have just replaced my BAHA 5 with 6 max, and I have no squealing or other problems with it😃 I had my 15 year old abutment replaced with a new one last year, which is slightly longer than the old one, that could be the reason I do not have problems. Anyway thanks for your information in yor videos!
Congratulations! That's terrific feedback (no pun intended). And I'm so glad the new extended abutment is working well for you ;)
How much did you pay for the BAHA 6 max?
In France 3000 euros, but in fact it's free thanks to our national insurance
Hii , hope u doing well If it's okay to messages u on Instagram about the baha 6 max... really need ur help please 🥺
Hi, I'm from Spain. how much does the baha 6 cost? I have the baha 4, I have had it for almost 4 or 5 years but it broke twice, and now I have one that is about to break. My mother can no longer afford another more modern baha. The baha 4 costs 7,000 euros and is very expensive. Is there a way to get something cheap that will last a long time? ☹️
I'm sorry to hear that. Costs varies I believe and it's best to check with your audiologist. Good luck
can resolving and neccesar love hearing and deaf 😇
I just discovered you channel. I have a Baha 6 having had the Baha 5. I too have an issue with squealing when I tilt my head. I have the magnet implant on my right side, and sometimes it squeals when I tilt my head to the left. I did send it back to Cochlear where they replaced a part of the innards, but I was still having the same problem. When I sent it back again, they replaced the whole thing and it worked fine for awhile, but it did come back to a degree. Hopefully they will listen to our collective complaints. As far as securing the processor, I came up with my own solution using thin nylon line and crimps. I secure a loop through the processor on one end and hook it to a small hoop earring on my right ear using a lobster clasp. Hope this helps.
It's annoying isn't it?! I hope there's a global fix. So far, there isn't. We shouldn't have to be coming up with solutions that are not sustainable
Hi there. Just come across your channel. I have had a BAHA since 2005. I have just had an upgrade to the BAHA 6 Max. What an amazing improvement! The only problem I have at the moment is with white noise. I have been playing around with the sound adjustments but still getting it. My Audiologist doesn’t know why. On the whole I think it is vast improvement. I’m subscribing to your channel!
Thanks for subscribing and happy to know you're a fan of the videos. I'm excited to hear that the 6 has been working out for you. I hope the white noise gets adjusted! Have you tried doing so with your app?
Yes. But still getting it. I will have another go.
*Promo sm*
Hi. Welcome back
Thank you!
Happy new EAR! ;)
Happy new ear to you too!
I had my abutment replaced by a doctor when I told him I had bleeding problem. I was considering osia but the doctor advises a new abutment instead, and a slightly longer abutment improves bleeding. I wonder if a new abutment would help with your problem since audiologist cannot replace it? BTW here in Hong Kong Baha 6 max is still unavailable🙄
I'm surprised the 6 is not available in HK yet. Have you gotten a reason why from Cochlear HK?
@@LetThereBeEars No idea, at least they are still supporting it, so repairing should not be a problem for now. Since you have issues with Baha 6 max, I guess I can stick with Baha 5 for a bit longer.
@@LetThereBeEars Cochlear HK says there are plans to release it here soon, I hope I can try it out.
My son has exactly what you have. Bilateral Microtia and Atresia. We did genetic counseling and they couldn’t figure it out either
Thanks for stopping by to share your experiences. I think sometimes it's just not possible to find the root cause...
welcome back!!!
Thank you!!
Hi, Thanks for the feedback. My experiences, I had a trial run with the BAHA 6 max and had a lot of issues like you had mention. I have the magnet implant though. I found the Baha 5 power I had would work better for me ( it did squeal some but not as bad the Baha6 did). however I am need of a new battery door and cochlear don't make replacement parts anymore for the Baha 5 power. So, I ended up going with the BAHA 5 super power. Another thing The Baha 6 max I didn't like the cord that attaches to the baha and the shirt. it was a nuisance to deal with. I had to be more be careful because it was always getting caught on something, pets, when someone hug me and it would even interfere when wearing a seat belt. The Baha 5 super power I don't have lot issues with. I also like the fact I can wear a hat over the Baha 5 super power and not have the squealing like the other Baha's would do.
I'm glad the 5 is working well for you. If it's not broken and it's working well, I suggest you to stay with what works. Thanks for following my videos and being a subscriber!
I am single-sided deaf in my left ear (0% hearing). If you look at Cochlear's progression of hardware and software, they dole out a bit at a time. My BAHA4 with the tiny buttons, how that was usable by anyone let alone an older person, no clue. My BAHA 5 at least is controllable via my iPhone and Bluetooth. But the noise cancellation quality is terrible outside with wind. So I only wear my BAHA5 at home which is fine. It works well for conference calls, music, and movies. My insurance company pays 100% for a new device every 5 years. Based on your review, I will wait for the BAHA7 rather than getting the BAHA6 now. I appreciate your videos, comments, ideas, and opinions.
I'm still bewildered by the way they designed the battery door. The notch wears out quickly and the process of replacing the battery door isn't for the faint of heart (especially if it's your first time). I'm glad the BAHA5 is working well for you. It's consistent and it doesn't seem to have a mind of its own even though you can tell sometimes that it does. But not as much as the BAHA6. While the 6 can deliver exceptional sound and convenience (streaming), it can also deliver frustrating experiences with squealing and feedback. Thanks for subscribing!
Thank you so much ❤for your videos. It inspired me… I’m from Salt Lake City Utah but currently in LA for a few days getting my new prosthetic left ear needed from birth 65 years ago. I have a wonderful angioplasty artist constructing my new left ear. I’m excited to see the final result on Thursday. I will have my update on result. Thanks again for making others aware since there are so many people with this issue. I only wish I had this as a child growing up.❤
Thanks for being a supporter! I hope your surgery went smoothly.
My son was just born with Microtia atresia bilaterally. Watching your self confidence and happiness makes me hopeful for my sweet boy. I sure hope he grows up to be as awesome as you!
Baha 6 is still not available at Hong Kong at that moment, but my ears cannot wait until it comes to Hong Kog so I have to buy Baha 5. Anyway, I prefer Baha 3 because at least I can adjust the volume directly from the hearing aid.
I hope it becomes available in Hong Kong soon.
Yeah, it happened to me MANY TIME! I already commented to United Airlines. (I am fully Deaf with ASL)
That's wild. You think they would pick this up and not make blanket generalizations about accessibility.
Thanks for your work on the review. There isn’t nearly enough content out there for people considering Baha options, but your videos are excellent. I am currently demo-ing the Baha 6 Max on the SoundArc. I am having the surgery for the implant soon. Since there don’t seem to be any reviews of the SoundArc, if you want to collaborate on a review for your channel, let me know.
You're welcome! Glad to hear you're getting the implant. Good luck! Drop me an email about your ideas 💡
I am in the process of taking on the BAHA 6. Thanks for your input.
Best of luck!
This is my third year with BAHA 6 Max. My initial experience was like yours, clear high pitched letters of speech and pin drops. Bat sounds are so clear too! I had my first BAHA 3 few years back. However, BAHA 6Max solved few problems I had with the previous generations, particularly with deteriorating rubber and thin layer of latex around the pin of attachment to the abutment. BAHA6M doesn't have that problem. In addition, you're right to mention its battery consumption efficiency, my best period was 10 days in spite of my use of workshop tools and loud home cinema! What I am really hoping for in the near future is a remotely chargeable and water proof BAHA ? Supreme fully equipped with auto-streaming from smart TV's and projectors so as not to disturb early birds when they go to bed. How about the facility of transmitting to your phone with recording function as well ...... what do you think, or shall I say one could record their thought ideas by "talking to them self loud" ;) Thank you for your greatly helpful review 🤗
Now you're thinking. Has cochlear hired you for R&D yet? I would love a waterproof BAHA.. splash proof doesn't really cut it when cochlear implants and other devices have more protection. Glad to hear the 6 max is treating you well
Update, went to Apple this morning, they say my phone is doing ok, well then why is it my “message” app (I set on Bark so I can hear it) not “barking at me anymore? Also, to you, the author, did you finally give up and send them back for replacement? I’m seriously considering doing this.
I sure did. On like the third replacement already
Thank you for this video - it's EXACTLY what I've been going through - received my Baha6 Max (magnetics (2)) in "March" and like YOU the sounds - I MISS hearing 'everything' also - finally made an appointment with Apple to see if it's a phone problem - been to the audiologist numerous times or emailed complaints. It hurts when I go to 'meeting' movies etc. With the sound quality awful! Tomorrow I have an appointment with Apple to see if it IS a iPhone problem and/or if I should upgrade to another newer apple phone that may be more compatible with these Baha6's .... So thank YOU again - now I can send your video to my audiologist (save it to my phone?) to show Apple Tomorrow - your video says it ALL for me. So thank YOU again - stay Cool this summer....
Good luck and hope things go better for you

Wow, at 52 I've been struggling with debilitating tinnitus for the last 12 months and it's a battle. Standing in the shower, brown noise, of course my fan at night, but it sometimes get's so loud nothing helps. I appreciate everyone's efforts to make these videos.
