From what I can tell this is a recent development that happens 8 to 10 days after activation so you can not really compare it to the total AB population. It does not appear to affect users that had working implants for a time. I have not heard how big this issue is since it is just two users...

ACE is Cochlear coding strategy somewhat like the AB HiRes-S coding strategy. ACE combines both the spectral resolution of SPEAK coding and the temporal cues of CIS coding. The N5 also has smart sounds which is different sound processing programs. I know of one person still using SPEAK coding...

I upgrade to the N5 from Freedom in February. I just had a remap three weeks ago and the sound quality is very impressive. My new maps also increase my ability to understand my hearing friends in a crowd even when they had a hard time hearing me. I use the ACE processing not sure about your...

Another thing you can check to see if there is a annual cap on the DME coverage as well. Since I do not feel as conformable dealing with insurance Help Desk on the phone. I went to the company patient advocate face to face to get the exact details on my insurance policy.

The key part is that your insurance have DME (durable Medical Equipment) rider on the policy. Not all insurance have DME coverage. My DME coverage covers repairs when the processor is out of warranty. Batteries and supplies are covered with a 10% co-pay.

The Phonak Icom costs more and does not deliver stereo to the binaural since it uses a neck loop to deliver the sounds to the aids. I personal use a induction plate for each of my aids connected to my Sony Walkman and gives true stereo sound. Still the NoizFree MusicLink should work for you.
