Mechanism
Non-surgical Baha wearing options that hold a Baha sound processor against the head using SoundArc or Softband accessories so patients can trial or use bone-conduction hearing before implantation.
Indications
Notes
Separates non-surgical Baha Start/SoundArc/Softband/SoundBand use from implanted Baha coverage so pediatric trials and pre-implant bone-conduction workflows are visible.
