Your being baise towards Cochlear America. I actually now think AB has better sound processor while the Cochlear has the processor with more features
Dont scare Teal away from AB based on what you HEARD, you dont have any experience with AB.
I had AB for 14 years on my right ear until it broke. Then I switched to Cochlear America because at the time (few months ago) AB was not on the market due to involuntary recalled. It worked very well, was easily adapted to it.
I did have my left side implanted with AB 2 years ago and I am able to balance it out with my right and hear "more" as I have a 360 sounds. Almost... too much...!
But yes you can get AB for the left and just balance the sound levels out. It will work, but will require time for your left to get up to level with your right.
