Yeah, that does make sense. I wasn't sure earlier if it was something that you wanted or if you just wanted to please others. The good thing about CIs is that if you were once able to have a good understanding of speech and sounds with hearing aids, then there is a good chance you will be able to use it again with a CI, since sound memory is stored for years in the brain.
I never had full hearing either but developed enough understanding of speech with hearing aids to transfer to CI usage as an adult.
