That is a tough question because hearing both ears are different. In other words, both ears response differently from each other. For example, in my case as a bilateral cochlear implantee, the left ear does better with higher frequencies; meanwhile, my right does better with lower frequencies. Both do sound differently than each other. However, I can hear them a lot better than the powerful hearing aids could provide.This is one of the aspects of being a bilateral cochlear implantee. Of course, everybody has different experiences. That is something to think about. I wish you the best with your decision if you decide to have your daughter another implant. It is not an easy decision to make.
Do it!!!! My daughter is bilateral and the second has made a world of difference for her incidental hearing. She is able to overhear and pick up stuff from the other room, tv, etc.
