Title: BAHA Programming
Post by: cobbler on March 16, 2011, 03:24:58 pm

It's me again!

Just got my BAHA on Monday and am still adjusting.

Is the volume something that is programmed with the audiologist? It seems like I can't get it loud enough. I hear it beep when turning it up but it only seems to get to a certain level. Didn't know if this was normal or not?

Headed to dinner in a few to a place that the noise normally bothers me. Can't wait to see the difference!

Thanks again  ;D

I'm not sure what processor you have, but in any case, volume isn't something that is programmed by the audiologist.

Your processor should have one or more volume buttons.  I wear a BP100 and it has two volume buttons - one to increase the volume and one to decrease it.

Ditto to what Jan said, but in addition, I have had the audiologist crank mine up to a higher base level.  That has worked well for me.  I change the program based on the environment I'm in.  Hope that helps.

My audio does not activate the volume until the next follow up visit, so it is possible that the volume control Judy isn't "turned on.". I'd suggest calling your audio to ask.  I didn't know this initially and kept pressing the buttons wondering why all I got was a beep. :)
Good luck!
