Post by: leapyrtwins on March 12, 2011, 07:05:59 am
Clarice asked about BAHAs and music in one of her recent threads.  I got this off of the Cochlear Community (www.cochlearcommunity).  Maybe it will help someone.

Want to maximize your music listening experience with your Baha®?

Common Elements of Success
Achieving your own personal best hearing and music experience with Baha involves four key elements:

1. You (or your child), the Baha user - to develop realistic expectations, practice, and commit to an education and rehabilitation program

2. Your audiologist - to work with you during routine visits to help improve your (or your child's) capabilities, and to help you (or your child) understand the options available including a music program

3. The right program - Baha provides the features and flexibility that may enable you to improve your (or your child's) hearing in various everyday listening environments and when listening to music

4. The right company - Cochlear offers training and education to support your (or your child's) efforts every step of the way

•Music may not sound good at first. Remember, patience, persistence, practice and a positive attitude will go far!


•Experiment with different accessories that provide direct input to your sound processor.
