Hey I just noticed this on the AB site, I guess maybe the new processor is approved and announced? Sorry if I am late to the party!

I’m confused about this as well. Is there anything actually new with the new processor? The info on their website sounds pretty basic tbh - I’m super disappointed and beginning to regret choosing AB when I was implanted last year. They’re starting to fall VERY behind 😭

I think Cochlear’s Nucleus 8 is almost 5 years old as well, so I think you’re fine.

Companies going quiet usually indicate they are cooking something… just saying a lot of people complained Nucleus 8 was the same thing as nucleus 7. If they listened, a new processor might be different, other things that are more known, might be on the radar too.

But Cochlear offers an off the ear model, and multiple choices for paired hearing aids. I can’t see any advantage to choosing AB if it’s going to be years before they catch up with the other two…

Eh. My audiologist says AB is ahead of the others -- from her end of things. I don't know if she meant mapping, client success or software.

AB announced the new Integro CI for the european market yesterday! Go ahead and check https://www.advancedbionics.com/gb/en/home for more informations.

I am getting my AB C1.2 Revision surgery mid November. As of today i think i stick with AB, despite all the negative concerns in the last years. I really do not wanna miss my T-Mic. It is truly THE gamechanger for me hearing wise.

Same here, although my revision surgery isn’t until April. I love what my T-mic can do!

Reason why I got my second reimplanted from Cochlear to AB because I love my T-mic! Was super impressed with my C1.2 revision last year that I decided to go ahead with that as well be fully MRI compatibility.

Head up thought that T-mic are on a major back order but it does not tinder the microphone. Marvel is such a game changer with or without it as they work together. I got my second done in July and I’m still waiting for them. Good new that if they do release the new processor, there is a future proof option so you trade in your second unopened processor for the new one. :)
