Maybe you need to understand a CI audi evaluation to know what is entailed in this process. There are posters above your recent posts (and after mine) that have displayed the same information -- there are overlaps in which HAs function to a point that is similar to a CI -- that's EXACTLY why I didn't get one. I went through the entire CI audi evaluation myself (and others have done the same, and posted them here.) The results showed I was functioning far well enough with the HAs that even though I qualified at a DB loss, a CI would not gain me any additional benefit other than environmental sounds. Sorry if I don't want a surgery so I can hear frogs croaking.
Sorry if my above response sounds harsh. I just can't stand by and let you tell people that all those who get CIs do not benefit from HAs. It's the un-truth.
