Yes, I sensed you were trying to do that and could see what you were getting at.  If the CI only made me hearing and didn't change anything else in my life, I would agree.  All it would amount to was the difference between having blue eyes and brown eyes.  But in my case, it really has made things a lot easier in practice as I live and work in a hearing world.  I'm not saying this is true for everyone though.
