1) I have the MED-EL Sonata Implant with the OPUS 2 Processor
2) I have a really hard time understanding people on the phone, I pick up maybe 3 out of 5 words.
3) I have Meniere's Disease and I have no vestibular function left I balance with my eyes the only thing the CI surgery helped with is the Tinnitus as its gone now.
I think if your wanting a CI just for talking on a phone your expectations aren't realistic
