My point exactly. This is "old school" way of thinking. I say, why bother with "enough", if more than "enough" is available?
That's what I am talking about. I wear HAs since childhood, I know too well how one hears thru them. It's nowhere close as CI even if one perfected listening thru these HAs.
HAs only amplify the sounds we HEAR, the rest is brain's memory. If one wants to hear what's no more possible thru HA - and with HA you only hear what you can AMPLIFY - a CI is gonna do that, so why not take an advantage of it.
IMO, sticking to HAs in the era of new technological advances is like sticking to the hand winded, two pieces telephone when cellular phones are on the market.. you can hear thru both, but...
