Why don't u ask my sister who was hard of hearing for 14 years then become hearing. she knows the difference. This lady never heard a sound in real life so I can not accept her words. CI may help her some alike hoh people hear but not alike hearing. I would remember sound if my memory came back and wear CI then I would said not same, u know I was born hearing.
Just that when they said CI make deaf children hear, it does not mean they hear 100percent alike hearing. I have many CI friends, they are still deaf to me. Of course, they hear this and that but not completely hear them all.
I asked this man who has CI, very cool guy. What does he think if I should get CI years ago? . He said if he has another choice, he would not get CI. He was hearing all of his life then became deaf late age and got CI because at that time he does not know sign language. Now he knows and his wife is an interpter, he would not get CI. So he explained to me CI is not same as hearing.
