Yea, they do in an oblique way. They say your hearing is too good. What that simply means is that aided with a HA your hearing is not bad enough to consider a CI. While I agree the CI companies have a vested interest in promoting CIs whereever they can, there is a fine line that the medical community walks with this issue. Right now, I hear they are sticking to a certain threshold of hearing (both ears) in which you much be lower or equal too before considering you for a CI. If you got one decent ear, forget it.
