How is the sound quality of Nucleus 5 compared to Freedom's? Louder, clearer, higher speech discrimination, etc.

P.S. Sorry for all these questions. Talking to someone with this experience really helps me a lot. I know everyone has a different experience, though. :)

Thanks, baseballboy! If I remember correctly, you mentioned in your earlier posts that your speech understanding improved from 70ish to 84%. Amazing. That's in quiet situation, right? Did your bilateral implants improve your speech discrimination in noisy situation as well? If you can estimate...

Wow, thanks, baseballboy! If I remember from reading your posts correctly, you mentioned that your speech understanding improved from 70ish to 84%. Wow. Is that in quiet or noisy situation? Do you feel that your speech discrimination still is improving as time progresses? How much can your...

@ baseballboy, thank you for your responses. I noticed that your AB broke a few times. What happened? I am currently on the fence between AB and Cochlear. I initially chose AB because it provides better sounds as well as improves speech discrimination slightly in noisy environment and music...

@baseboy, did you feel that your bilateral cochlear implants help you improve your speech recognition in both quiet and noisy situations?

You have good points. Nevertheless, I prefer AB. I am a N22 recipient, and unfortunately, there's no Nucleus 5 available for N22 recipients. It's only for N24 recipients. I have been reading the studies on Advanced Bionics vs. Nucleus, and they have suggested that AB has a superior performance...
