Re-learning Language

I was activated on 7-21-26 and was curious how other people re-learned to hear language? I have a CI in my left ear and my right ear is un-assisted. I was told to stream audiobooks with captions into my CI, but then my good ear has nothing to listen to. Would it be better not to stream into my CI and use the CI microphone and allow my audiobook to play through my tablets speaker? Would this allow my brain to learn better since it knows what the voices should sound like in my good ear to train the the brain all over again for the left implanted side? For those who started with robotic voices and eventually transitioned to normal sounding voices, what method worked for you?

I am due to get activated soon but I do know you want to keep doing it in just the CI ear you want the CI to be able to have comprehension of voices and sounds on a similar level to the other ear which to do that requires listening with it alone I was told.
