I'll ditto neecy on that. Once your brain gets a handle on adjusting to the CI's input, you hear pretty naturally. The main difference between my former HA and CI is that the CI brings a whole lot more than the HA!!
Buckdodgers - Just accept that you can't hear the way you would like or do something about it. If you decide to say get a CI, accept the fact perfect hearing isn't available yet but something quite good is a whole lot better than nothing...think about that. It is no big deal...just make up your mind or wait patiently for other possibilities but carrying on as you do isn't going to help you one iota.
