Wow, You are getting me excited for this! We have had a lot of the same problems. I don't talk on phone much and prefer texting, I give my wife my phone all the time when something is important.

Sorry to hear that southpaw! I am really on the fence about this. I do love my compilot now! I was told the hybrid would leave me with more natural sounds. It is one of the main selling points. It is good to hear that the AB gives you that with the full CI.
