Hearing aids does not involves any surgery as cochlear implants does, there's a differences.
Supposedly someone gets a cochlear implant goes under the knife then the surgeon first drills a 3to 4 millimeter bed in the temporal bone then set everything up, then the patient goes home, After 4 to 6 weeks of healing, goes back to the office and get the cochlear implanted programmed.
What if the signals to the hearing nerve, doesn't work how is the user allow to hear? Is it worth to go though all that for nothing? Is it worth for a re-implanted?
No one can predict if the cochlear implant is gonna work for this person and not for the other person. We don't want to give people high expectations or high hopes that it's a guarantee device for everyone.
That's why I believe that cochlear implant is a personal choice should be made upon the person that wants it.
