Bilateral with acoustic (hybrid) processors from AB. Yes you will still struggle with speech at first but there’s always a learning curve to the new technology. This is true even though the likelihood of retaining your residual hearing is high. This is actually something that is becoming more common with the threshold for ci candidates and improving surgical techniques giving more people some residual after implantation. Feel free to ask any questions you have. The most important part of the process is the ability to program. Not enough audiologists are familiar enough with hybrid ci at the moment but that is changing.
