@ 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. This is crucial for me. However, as I am doing further research, I have noticed that AB is not as reliable as Cochlear. In fact, many recipients experienced broken parts and replaced them with new ones. I'm concerned about this. How can I prevent it from breaking if I choose to use AB? I think I'm going with Cochlear because there won't be any time for me to keep undergoing surgeries. Now that you are the user of both companies, which is your favorite?
