I have two implants. Localizing sound is much easier than with HA. When I have both on, I can identify which direction the noise is coming from. My left ear is my "better ear." So it makes up for the right ear. (hope that makes sense).
I would try a HA first. Also evaluate the scores from the audiogram. I'm a number person, I need to see the numbers in relationship to compare the data. Also since he is 15, what does he want? Let him help make the choice as well.
