OMG I've said sufficient benefit before. If a person is profoundly deaf, there are obviously differences between each person. Sure, some might have access to loud environmental noises, and maybe access to other sounds. The question is whether or not they have sufficient access to speech in most cases.  The majority of the time when the CI is opted for, the person doesn't have access to speech. Why else would they get the implant? For a fun surgery?  For the pretty little decoration that's attached to their head? I don't think so.
