Remove your Baha before putting on tight tops, eg polo neck jumpers etc.
Remove your Baha before brushing your hair.
Always sit on your bed or lounge in case you drop your Baha, it doesn't
have far to fall.
Never get it wet. Have a container in your handbag in case of heavy
rain.
Try and get yourself into a routine. It's a little difficult in the
beginning but try to:
Have your shower, dress and brush your hair in the mornings prior to
putting on your Baha.
Always place it in your dry and store before you go to bed.
I took my dry and store on holidays and used it like I usually do.
If you are doing very physical activities remove it.
If you are going to sweat a lot, remove it.
Treat it with respect and keep it clean and it will last you a very
very long time.
Just try to imagine going to work without it.
If necessary, leave a few post-it notes around the place to remind you
to clean it regularly and clean around the abutment site.
Change your dry brick a little earlier in summer than you do in winter.
If you feel it's not just right, your audiologist can adjust the pitch.
I have mine serviced annually, just to make sure it's ok.
Kind regards Wendy Jansz, Sydney Australia. wendydarlz@...
